Here is the English transalation of Kabir Das poem sukh sagar men aike.

When at last you are come to the ocean of happiness, do not go

back thirsty.

Wake, foolish man! for Death stalks you. Here is pure water

before you; drink it at every breath.

Do not follow the mirage on foot, but thirst for the nectar;

Dhruva, Prahlad, and Shukadeva have drunk of it, and also Raidas

has tasted it:

The saints are drunk with love, their thirst is for love.

Kabir says: “Listen to me, brother! The nest of fear is broken.

Not for a moment have you come face to face with the world:

You are weaving your bondage of falsehood, your words are full of

deception:

With the load of desires which you. hold on your head, how can

you be light?”

Kabir says: “Keep within you truth, detachment, and love.”
