My Favorite Kabir Poem of All Time

 

How could the love between Thee and me sever?

As the leaf of the lotus abides on the water;

So Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant.

As the night-bird gazes all night at the moon:

So Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant.

>From the beginning until the ending of time,

There is love between Thee and me;

How shall such love be extinguished?

As the river enters into the ocean,

so my heart touches Thee.

 

-- Kabir, "Songs of Kabir," Rabindranath Tagore, Samuel Weiser Books,

York Beach, Maine
