PagineBeneath the great umbrella of my King
by Kabir
Translated by Rabindranath Tagore (1915) · From Songs of Kabir, XCIII
Beneath the great umbrella of my King millions of suns and moons and stars are shining!
He is the Mind within my mind: He is the Eye within mine eye.
Ah, could my mind and eyes be one! Could my love but reach to my Lover! Could but the fiery heat of my heart be cooled!
Kabîr says: "When you unite love with the Lover, then you have love's perfection."
