"কালো তুমি'-- শুনি জাম কহে কানে কানে,
যে আমারে দেখে সেই কালো বলি জানে,
কিন্তু সেটুকু জেনে ফের কেন জাদু?
যে আমারে খায় সেই জানে আমি স্বাদু।

II. 126. jag piyari, ab kan sowai
O FRIEND, awake, and sleep no more!
The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also?
Others, who have wakened, have received jewels;
O foolish woman! you have lost all whilst you slept.
Your lover is wise, and you are foolish, O woman!
You never prepared the bed of your husband:
O mad one! you passed your time in silly play.
Your youth was passed in vain, for you did not know your Lord;
Wake, wake! See! your bed is empty: He left you in the night.
Kabir says: 'Only she wakes, whose heart is pierced with the arrow of His music.'

WE TWO LAY sunk in the dusk of dreams;
the time of awakening has come
waiting for the last word from you.
Turn your face to me
and with a tear-dimmed glance
make the sorrow of parting
ever beautiful.
The morning will appear with its early star
on the far-distant sky of loneliness.
The pain of this farewell night has been captured in my vina-strings,
the lost glory of love will remain woven in my visions.
Open with your own hands the door
towards final separation.
