Here is the English transalation of Kabir Das poem are dil, prem nagar ka ant na paya.

O my heart! you have not known all the secrets of this city of

love: in ignorance you came, and in ignorance you return.

O my friend, what have you done with this life? You have taken

on your head the burden heavy with stones, and who is to

lighten it for you?

Your Friend stands on the other shore, but you never think in

your mind how you may meet with Him:

The boat is broken, and yet you sit ever upon the bank; and thus

you are beaten to no purpose by the waves.

The servant Kabir asks you to consider; who is there that shall

befriend you at the last?

You are alone, you have no companion: you will suffer the

consequences of your own deeds.
