My mind dances in delight
To the tune of the music of love
That swells eternally day and night audible to one and all.
All the nine planets are dancing
For ages to the tune
Steeped in untold glee.
The earth with its mountains, hills and dales
Dances and dance all the living creatures
To the delight of the music,
And amidst their tears and laughter too
All men and women dance.
A few in the name of religion
Try in vain to remain aéloof
From the pervading music and dance.
Says Kabir – my mind steeped full in love
Dances with abandon to the tune
The Lord Supreme beholds that
And is highly pleased!
/Kabir, Nr. 37/
