Kabir : The songs of a weaver – 2

Rekha Sahay

When greed hits you like a wave,

you don’t need water to drown.

Whether it is a king or his throne,

or a pretty Queen,

chanting Pandit, Or a

Miracle working Yogi,

they will all die by drowning

In a waterless sea.

Who survives?

The ones whose minds, Kabir says,

are tied to god / Almighty.
