ਕਬੀਰਿ ਦੀਈ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਕਉ ਲੀਨੀ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ॥
kabeer dee-ee sansaar ka-o leenee jis mastak bhaag.
Kabir gives it to the world, but he alone receives it, upon whose forehead such destiny is recorded.
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਸੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਥਿਰੁ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਸੋਹਾਗੁ ॥੫॥੪॥
amrit ras jin paa-i-aa thir taa kaa sohaag. ||5||4||
Permanent is the marriage, of one who receives this ambrosial essence. ||5||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir gives it to the whole world, but only the one with this blessing written on the forehead receives it.
Whoever finds this sweet nectar has a marriage to the One that lasts forever.
The gift is offered to everyone, and grace brings it home.
The gift is given to the whole world (dee-ee sansaar ka-o), not hoarded. Who receives it is what is 'written on the forehead': grace, a gift, not a reward. The 'lasting marriage' (thir sohaag) is a bond with the One that never breaks, open to every soul.
