Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: the noisy passions keep arguing inside me, and a life can drain away in all that quarreling.
The whole world gets tangled in the glittering pull — but I found real peace, simply by remembering the One.
This one says the arguing feelings can waste a life, but remembering the One brings peace.
Kabir is honest first. Panch ko jhagraa — the quarrel of the five. The five are the strong passions: lust, anger, greed, clinging, and pride. They argue inside him. A whole life can drain away in that endless bickering.
Then he is hopeful. The false pull of Maya, the grab-and-want feeling, has tied up the whole world. But Kabir says: I found peace by repeating the Name of the Lord.
It is like a group chat that pings all day with fights. You cannot stop every message. But you can stop letting it run your day. The passions will still pipe up. Turn to the One and keep remembering, and a quiet settles over the whole inner house.
When your inner 'arguments' get loud, what helps a real peace settle over you?
