अहं अग्नि निशि दिन जरै , गुरु सो चाहे मान। ताको जम न्योता दिया , होउ हमार मेहमान॥
— Kabir
Meaning

I myself am the fire of night and day; O Guru, whatever you desire, I shall be. I have given the invitation to Yama; let me be your guest.

Explanation

I myself am the fire of night and day; O Guru, whatever you desire, I shall be. I have given the invitation to Yama; consider me your guest. This couplet is a profound declaration of total surrender, establishing the Shayar as a universal, adaptable force (the fire). By declaring himself as the fire that burns both night and day, Kabir emphasizes his readiness to exist in any state or circumstance. The invitation to Yama signifies that he has accepted the cycle of life and death, placing his ultimate destiny and well-being completely in the hands of the Guru's grace.
