Verse 1: Rejection of External Rituals

ना मैं देव में, ना मैं मस्जिद में, ना काबे कैलाश में। न मैं क्रिया में, न मैं तप में, न मैं तीर्थों के वास में।
Transliteration
Na main dev mein, na main masjid mein, na Kaabe Kailash mein. Na main kriya mein, na main tap mein, na main teerthon ke vaas mein.
Meaning / Translation
I am not in the deities, nor in the mosque; I am not in Kaaba or Kailash. I am not in rituals, nor in penance, nor in the dwelling of pilgrimage sites.
Verse 2: The Presence in Faith
Original
जो सुनि ले मेरा अवगुण, सोई मेरा दास है। मैं तो बसता हूँ मन के भीतर, जो हृदय में विश्वास है।
Transliteration
Jo suni le mera avgun, soi mera daas hai. Main to basta hoon man ke bhitar, jo hriday mein vishwas hai.

He who understands my true nature (beyond flaws) becomes my servant. I reside within the mind, where there is true faith in the heart.
Verse 3: The Oneness of All

सब घट मेरा राम है, सब घट में मेरा वास। कण-कण में है नूर मेरा, मिटे भेद का आभास।

Sab ghat mera Ram hai, sab ghat mein mera vaas. Kan-kan mein hai noor mera, mite bhed ka aabhas.
Meaning / Translation
The Divine resides in every heart, I dwell in every vessel. My light is in every atom, and the illusion of separation vanishes.
Conclusion
Original
कबीर कहै सुनो भाई साधो, प्रभु मिले घट के भीतर। जो जागे सो पावे उसे, जो खोया है निरंतर।
Transliteration
Kabir kahai suno bhai sadho, Prabhu mile ghat ke bhitar. Jo jaage so paave use, jo khoya hai nirantar.
Meaning / Translation
Kabir says, listen O seekers, the Lord is found within the inner self. He who awakens shall find Him, whom many have lost in the constant cycle of distraction.
