dil dharwe so ik nyara hai
dil dharwe so ik nyara hai
sajjan nyara se nyara hai
sajjan nyara se nyara hai
dil dharwe so ik nyara hai

maata kahe putar mera hai
pita kahe sukh mera hai
maata kahe putar mera hai
pita kahe sukh mera hai
na maata ke, ma pita ke
ise dudh peelane ka naata hai
dil dharwe so ik nyara hai

bhai kahe jodi meri hai
bahan kahe bandhu mera hai
bhai kahe jodi meri hai
bahan kahe bandhu mera hai
na bhaiyo ke, na bahno ke
bas dudh peelane ka naata hai
dil dharwe so ik nyara hai

kahat kabira sun bhai sadhu
ye bajta nirbana hai
kahat kabira sun bhai sadhu
ye bajta nirbana hai
is pad ka jo arth karega
is pad ka jo arth karega
wo hi chatur siyana hai
dil dharwe so ik nyara hai
sajjan nyara se nyara hai
dil dharwe so ik nyara hai

A heart that holds, it stands apart,
A heart that holds, a world apart,
The true friend, beyond compare,
The true friend, beyond, beyond.
A heart that holds, it stands apart.

The mother claims, "He is my son,"
The father claims, "My joy is won,"
The mother claims, "He is my son,"
The father claims, "My joy is won,"
Belonging not to mother's claim,
Nor father's hold, the only chain,
The bond of milk, a gentle tie.
A heart that holds, it stands apart.

The brother claims, "My comrade here,"
The sister claims, "My kin so dear,"
The brother claims, "My comrade here,"
The sister claims, "My kin so dear,"
Belonging not to brother's plea,
Nor sister's bond, eternally,
The bond of milk, the purest plea.
A heart that holds, it stands apart.

Kabir speaks, listen, oh the wise,
This sound, Nirvana, it implies.
Kabir speaks, listen, oh the wise,
This sound, Nirvana, it implies.
The one who grasps this sacred word,
The one who grasps, the truth is heard,
That soul is wise, that soul is true.
A heart that holds, it stands apart,
The true friend, beyond compare,
A heart that holds, it stands apart.
