Kabir Ke Dohe 61–70

The verses
प्रेम न बड़ी ऊपजै , प्रेम न हाट बिकाय। राजा-प्रजा जोहि रुचें , शीश देई ले जाय॥
Meaning: Love cannot be bought or sold, nor can it be found in the market. If a king or a subject desires it, they may take it by giving their head.
प्रेम प्याला जो पिये , शीश दक्षिणा देय। लोभी शीश न दे सके , नाम प्रेम का लेय॥
Meaning: He who drinks the cup of love, offers his head as tribute. The greedy cannot give up their heads, even when taking the name of love.
सुमिरन में मन लाइए , जैसे नाद कुरंग। कहैं कबीर बिसरे नहीं , प्रान तजे तेहि संग॥
Meaning: Bring your mind into remembrance, like the sound of a flute. Kabir says, do not forget, for even after leaving the body, remain with Him.
सुमरित सुरत जगाय कर , मुख के कछु न बोल। बाहर का पट बन्द कर , अन्दर का पट खोल॥
Meaning: Awakening the remembered spirit with your hands, yet speaking nothing from your lips. Closing the outer curtain, and opening the inner one.
छीर रूप सतनाम है , नीर रूप व्यवहार। हंस रूप कोई साधु है , सत का छाननहार॥
Meaning: The form of the sweet name (Satnam) is the pure form; the form of water is conduct/behavior. The form of the swan is a saint; one who filters out the truth.
Kabir
