Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: I sing the praises of the One with all my heart.
And I share what I know with Hindus and Muslims alike.
This one says that the deepest truths belong to everyone.
Kahat kabeer raam gun gaavao means "says Kabir, I sing the One's goodness." Hindoo turak do-oo samjhaavao means "I explain it to both Hindus and Muslims."
Kabir grew up in a Muslim family of weavers, and Hindus came to honor him too. His love for the One did not belong to one group. He shared what he knew with everyone, across every line.
Think of a kid who brings a big bag of oranges to the park. They do not ask which team you play for before handing you one. They share with everyone.
This line gathers up what Kabir's songs keep saying. Everyone comes from the same One. No label makes you closer or farther. So love the One, enjoy what is good, and share it warmly with everyone.
How can you share something good with everyone, without leaving anyone out because they're 'different'?
