Shabd Barabar Dhan Nahi, Jo Koi Jaane Bol Heera To Quotes

Shabd barabar dhan nahi, jo koi jaane bol
Heera to damo mile, shabd mol na tol

शब्द बराबर धन नहीं, जो कोई जाने बोल |
हीरा तो दामो मिले, शब्द मोल न टोल ||

He who is good at speaking understands that there is no wealth like words.

Tinka kabhu na nindiye, paanv tale jo hoye,
kabahun udi aankhon pare, peer ghaneri hoye..

Kabir Allah ki kar bandagi, jih simrat dukh jai
dil mahi Sain pargate bujhe balanti nai.

Oh Lord ! give me that much only food which is sufficient for my family. I should not be hungry and even saints who arrive at my door should be well served. As Kabir's financial condition was not that well so here he prays to God to help him to feed his family, himself and all those who arrive at his place. Here Kabir is not diluting the importance of hard work but instead he is adding his prayers to his work as a cloth-weaver.

काहे को जप तप करै, पढ़ै शास्त्र और बेद..

ekehi daari teen fal, bhata ookh, kapaas..
