kabir songs - the secret
of this love
The flute of the infinite
is played without ceasing,
and its sound is love.
When love renounces all
limits,
it reaches truth.
How widely the fragrance
spreads!
It has no end, nothing stands in its way.
The form of this melody is
bright
like a million suns:
incomparably sounds the veena,
the veena of the notes of truth.
Subtle is the path of love!
There in there is no asking and no not asking,
there one loses one's self at his feet,
there one is immersed in the joy of the seeking:
Plunged in the depths of love
as the fish in the water.
The lover is never slow in
offering his head
for his lord's service.
Kabir declares the secret of this love. |
