Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Says Kabir: I've searched the whole wide sky, high and far.
And I have never found anything, anywhere, that equals the Beloved.
Search as far as you like, and nothing equals the One.
The end answers the ache. Kaho kabeer khoja-o asmaan — Kabir says, I have searched the skies. Raam samaan na daykh-a-u aan — I have not seen anything else equal to the One.
This is not the end of a lecture. It is the report of an honest seeker who looked and looked.
Think of searching every shop in town for a better friend than your best friend, and coming home knowing there is none. Kabir found only one thing worth leaning on.
What is something you searched hard for and finally realized nothing else could replace?
