PagineMy Lord hides Himself
by Kabir
Translated by Rabindranath Tagore (1915) · From Songs of Kabir, XXV
My Lord hides Himself, and my Lord wonderfully reveals Himself:
My Lord has encompassed me with hardness, and my Lord has cast down my limitations.
My Lord brings to me words of sorrow and words of joy, and He Himself heals their strife.
I will offer my body and mind to my Lord: I will give up my life, but never can I forget my Lord!
