Mystic Songs - 17

 

Maya Maha Thugni Hum Jaani ||

 

Tirgun Phans Liye Kar Dole

Bole Madhuri Bani ||

 

Kesav Ke Kamla Ve Baithi

Shiv Ki Bhavan Bhavani |

Punda Ke Murat Ve Baithi

Tirath Mein Bhai Pani ||

 

Yogi Ke Yogin Ve Baithi

Raja Ke Ghar Rani |

Kahu Ke Hira Ve Baithi

Kahu Ke Kodi Kani ||

 

Bhaktan Ke Bhaktin Veh Baithi

Brahma Ke Brahmani |

Kahe Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho

Yeh Sab Akath Kahani ||

 

Translation

=========

 

I Have Come to Know the Illusory Power to be a Great Thug ||

 

Her Hands Sway Holding a Web-like Trap

She Speaks in a Sweet Voice ||

 

For Kesava, the Sustainer, She is Seated as the Embodiment of Abundance

For Shiva, the God of Dissolution, She is the Empress of the Worlds ||

For the Priest She is Seated as the Idol of Worship

And in Places of Pilgrimage She Manifests as the Holy Water ||

 

For Yogis She is Seated as the Spiritual Partner

In the King's Palace She is the Queen ||

For Some She is Seated as a Priceless Diamond

For Some She is a Mere Penny ||

 

For Devotees She is Seated in the Object of Devotion

For Brahma She is His Consort ||

Says Kabir Listen Oh Practicing Aspirant

All this is an Untold Story ||

 

Jaya Sri Radhe!
