Here is the English transalation of Kabir Das poem jis se rahani apar jagat men.

More than all else do I cherish at heart that love which makes me

to live a limitless life in this world.

It is like the lotus, which lives in the water and blooms in the

water: yet the water cannot touch its petals, they open beyond

its reach.

It is like a wife, who enters the fire at the bidding of love.

She burns and lets others grieve, yet never dishonours love.

This ocean of the world is hard to cross: its waters are very

deep. Kabir says: “Listen to me, O Sadhu! few there are who

have reached its end.”
