Kabir Doha....

Maya Taje To Kya Hua
Maan Taja Naa Jaaye
Maan Bade Munivar Gaye
Maan Saban Ko Khaye

It is very easy to give up efforts and lose weath. It is really very difficult to give up the ego. Very great and analytical people have fallen victim to ego. The ego is killing one and all.

==============
Kade Abhimaan Na Kijiye
Kaha Kabir Samajhaye
Ja Seer Aha Jo Sanchare
Pade Chouryasi Jaaye

Don't have ego. He who has ego is restless always.

==============
Sukha Ke Sangi Swarthi
Dukh Me Rahate Door
Kahe Kabir Parmarathi
Dukh Sukh Sada Hujoor

The fair weather friends stay away when we face the rough weather. Those who understand the truth are with us at all times.

==============
Sabase Laghuta Hi Bhali
Laghuta Se Sab Hoye
Jasa Dwitiya Ka Chandrama
Shashi Lahai Sab Koye

It is always better to be humble. Being humble is an effective way of getting results. The Moon of the second day ( after the no moon day) is loved by all.

==============
Chhama Badan Ko Uchit Hai
Chhotan Ko Utpat
Ka Bishno Ka Ghati Gaya
Jo Bhrug Mari Laat

Forgiveness befits the person who is great. One who is petty does something destructive. What is the loss incured by God Vishnu after receiving a blow from Maharishi Bhrugu.

==============
Jaisa Bhojan Kijiye
Vaisa Hi Mana Hoye
Jaisa Paani Pijiye
Taisi Vani Hoye

Your mind is affected by the food that you consume. Your voice is the reflection of the drinks you have.

==============
Kabira Te Nar Andh Hai
Jo Guru Kahate Aur
Hari Ruthe Guru Thor Hai
Guru Ruthe Nahi Thor

Kabir says that the people who do not understand Guru are blind. If God is displeased with us then Guru is there for salvation. If he is displeased there can be no salvation.

==============
Kabira Dheeraj Ke Dhare
Haathi Man Bhar Khaaye
Tuk Tuk Bekar Me
Svan Ghare Ghar Jaaye

As the elephant has patience it eats till its mind is satisfied. But the impatient dog runs here and there in the hope of food.

==============
Ghee Ke To Darshan Bhale
Khana Bhala Na Tel
Dana To Dushman Bhala
Murakh Ka Kya Mel

It is better if one can just have a chance of looking at the purified butter. It is not good to eat oil. It is good to have a sensible person as our enemy than to befriend a fool.

==============
Chandan Jaisa Sadhu Hai
Sarp Hi Sab Sansar
Taake Ang Lapta Rahe
Mana Me Nahi Vikar

A good person is like a sandal tree. The world is like a snake. The snake resides on the sandal tree but the sandal tree does not become poisonous to any extent.

==============
Vruksha Bola Paat Se
Sun Patte Meri Baat
Is Ghar Ki Yah Reet Hai
Ik Aawat Ik Jaat

A tree tells a leave that listen to the tradition of my family. It is that one comes while another goes.

==============
Mai Meri Jab Jayegi
Tab Aayegi Aur
Jab Ye Nishchal Hoyega
Tab Pavega Thor

When ego will go then someone else will come. When the mind becomes calm then the truth is revealed.

==============
Dhan Rahe Na Jauvan Rahe
Rahe Gaav Na Dhaam
Kahe Kabira Jas Rahe
Kar De Kisika Kaam

Niether the wealth has permanance nor the youth. What someone can have forever is his good name. This someone can achieve only after working for the wellbeing of others.

==============
Jhute Sukha Ko Sukha Kahe
Manat Hai Mana Mouj
Jagat Chabena Kaal Ka
Kuch Mukh Me Kuch Goud

Our mind is delighted in having sensual pleasures. Let us understand that the world is being devoured by the time. Somebody is in the mouth while others are on the platter.

==============
Maan Badai Naa Kare
Bada Na Bole Bol
Hira Mukha Se Na Kahe
Laakh Hamara Mol

Dont have ego. Dont talk big. A diamond never says that it has a great cost.


==============
Gyani Se Kahiye Kaha
Kahat Kabir Lajaye
Andhe Aage Nachate
Kala Akarat Jaaye

When Kabir is asked to teach an intellectual then he feels shy. What is the use of showing dancing skills to one who is blind.

==============
Sheetal Shabad Uchchariye
Aham Maniye Nahi
Tera Pritam Tujh Me Hai
Dushman Bhi Tujh Mahi

You should speak sweet honeyed words. You should not have ego. Your beloved is in your mind and your enemy is also there.

==============
Khod Khad Dharati Sahe
Kaat Koot Vanaraay
Kutil Vachan Sadhu Sahe
Aur Se Saha Na Jaaye

The earth bears the digging. The forest bears the axe. A person who is good bears the harsh words. Others cannot bear the harsh words.

==============
Mana Ke Bahu Satrang Hai
Chhin Chhin Badale Soye
Ek Rang Me Jo Rahe
Aisa Birla Koye

There are many colors of the mind. The mind is always changing its color. He is very rare whose mind does not change color.

==============
Mitha Sab Koi Khaat Hai
Vish Hai Laage Dhaay
Neem Na Koi Peevasi
Sabe Rog Mit Jaay

Everyone likes eating sugar. This results in spreading of poison in the body. None likes to drink juice of Neem leaves. This can cure the body from all diseases.

Jaat na poochon saadhu se
pooch lijyo gyan
Mol karo talwar ka
pada rehne do myan


Dont ask a sadh his caste
Value a sword for a sword not its cover .....the literal translation

Meaning- Judge a person for who he is not which caste is he from
