My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.
The joy I find in Ram's name,
The joy I find in Ram's name,
That joy is not in wealth's sway.
That joy is not in wealth's sway.
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.

When sleep descends, a heavy cloak,
When sleep descends, a heavy cloak,
What need for pillows, beds, and all?
Says Kabir, love's the battlefield,
If the head does not bow, what is the fall?
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.

My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.
The joy I find in Ram's name,
The joy I find in Ram's name,
That joy is not in wealth's sway.
That joy is not in wealth's sway.
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.

Now, I'll please my Ram, my own,
Now, I'll please my Ram, my own,
I'll touch no branch, nor leaf, nor wound a soul,
In every leaf, the Lord resides, I bow my head to Him alone.
I'll not go to Ganga, nor to Jamuna's flow,
I'll not go to Ganga, nor to Jamuna's flow,
Nor bathe in holy streams.
All pilgrimages within my heart,
Each day I bathe, cleansed by inner gleams.
No yogi I, no matted locks I'll grow, nor ash upon my skin,
The hue of the Divine colors me, what other shade is there to win?
Says Kabir, listen, brothers, saints, in birth and death I'm free,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.
The joy I find in Ram's name,
The joy I find in Ram's name,
That joy is not in wealth's sway.
That joy is not in wealth's sway.
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way,
My heart finds solace in the mendicant's way.
