moko kaha dhunde re bande, mai to tere paas me
na tirath me na murat me, na ae kanthniwas me
o na mandhire me na masjid, me na kabe kailash me
mai to tere paas main bande, mai to tere paas me

sochi kurit mil jau, ek pal ki talsah me
kahat kabir suno bhai sadho, mai to hu vishwas me
o banda re, mai to tere paas me
o banda re, mai to tere paas me

o na mai jap me na mai tap me, na bharat upvas me
na mai kiriya karam me, rahta na hi jok sanyaas me
nahi pran main nahi pind main, na brahmand aakash main
na main parikat, pravar gufa me
nahi swasth ki, saans main
nahi swasth ki, saans main
bhoji har muraht mai le jau, ishwar ki talash me
kahat kabir suno bhai sadho, mai to hu vishwas me
o banda re, mai to tere paas me
o banda re, mai to tere paas me
o banda re, mai to tere paas me
o banda re, mai to tere paas me

Where do you search, O seeker, I am ever near,
Not in the shrines, nor idols, in any dwelling here.
Not in temples, nor mosques, nor at Mecca's grace,
I am always with you, seeker, in this very space.

Some may search to find me, in a moment's fleeting trace,
Says Kabir, listen now, my brothers, I am in faith's embrace.
Oh, seeker, I am ever near,
Oh, seeker, I am ever near.

I dwell not in chanting, nor penance of any kind,
Nor in fasts, nor rituals, the yogi's practiced mind.
Not in the breath, nor the body, nor the boundless sky,
Nor in the cave of solitude, where silent shadows lie.
Not in the rise and fall of breath, where life's essence dwells,
In every moment I reside, in the stories the heart tells.
Some may search to find God, in a moment's fleeting grace,
Says Kabir, listen now, my brothers, I am in faith's embrace.
Oh, seeker, I am ever near,
Oh, seeker, I am ever near.
Oh, seeker, I am ever near.
Oh, seeker, I am ever near.
