Musical interlude

......




This body, its a vessel made of clay its a vessel made of clay when it shatters it will make no sound! Lord, I fear that day this body, its a vessel made of clay this body, its a vessel made of clay when it shatters it will make no sound! Oh lord, I fear that day one day,

One second or a blink of an eyelid one second or a blink of an eyelid how can you trust a single moment? Oh lord, I fear that day

This body, is a necklace of pearls this body, is a necklace of pearls this thread dear to this body, will break! Oh lord, I fear that day one day,

One second or a blink of an eyelid one second or a blink of an eyelid how can you trust a single moment? Oh lord, I fear that day kabir says kabir says, listen my seekers first name should only be of the lord!

This body, its a vessel made of clay its a vessel made of clay when it shatters it will make no sound! Oh lord, I fear that day

English Translation

The millstone of life goes on moving, Kabir weeps
Between the layers of truth and untruth, no one is spared
The millstone of life goes on moving, Kabir observes
He who holds the anchor of His name, will always remain unhurt!

Don’t leave me now, O Breath, I am a wanderer!
Still have to travel faraway lands
O the one who is asleep, awake!

Our Master has made this body like a palace,
And He played the instrument of breath within!

Our Master has made this body like a garden,
And how He’ s filled it with a bowl of flowers!

Says Kabir he who follows the truth
Will attain the kingdom of immortality!
