moko kahan dhunde re bande
mein to tere paas mein
moko kahan dhunde re bande
mein to tere paas mein
na tirath mein na murat mein
na ekant nivas mein
na mandir mein naa masjid mein
na kaabe kailash mein

na main jap mein na main tap mein
na main vrat upvas mein
na main kriya kram mein rahta
na hi yog sanyaas mein
nahi pran mein, nahi pind mein
na bramhand aakash mein
na main trikuti bhawar mein
sab swanso ke swas mein

khoji hoye turant mil jau
ek pal ki hi talaash mein
kahe kabir suno bhai sadho
main to hu vishwas mein
moko kahan dhunde re bande
mein to tere paas mein

Where do you seek me, O seeker?
I am here, so very near.
Where do you seek me, O seeker?
I am here, dispelling fear.

Not in pilgrimage, nor idol’s form,
Nor in secluded hermitage’s storm.
Not in temple, nor in mosque's call,
Nor in Kaaba or Kailash's thrall.

Not in mantra, nor in penance deep,
Nor in fasting, secrets to keep.
Not in ritual, nor in act's decree,
Nor in yoga's silent liberty.
Not in breath, nor in the flesh's hold,
Nor in cosmos, stories untold.
Not in the third eye, nor in the void,
But in every breath, joy deployed.

If you seek, you'll find me fast,
In a moment, the shadows surpassed.
Says Kabir, listen, brothers, true,
I am found in faith, shining through.
Where do you seek me, O seeker?
I am here, so very near.
