Here is the English transalation of Kabir Das poem ya tarvar men ek pakheru.

On this tree is a bird: it dances in the joy of life.

None knows where it is: and who knows what the burden of its

music may be?

Where the branches throw a deep shade, there does it have its

nest: and it comes in the evening and flies away in the morning,

and says not a word of that which it means.

None tell me of this bird that sings within me.

It is neither coloured nor colourless: it has neither form nor

outline:

It sits in the shadow of love.

It dwells within the Unattainable, the Infinite, and the Eternal;

and no one marks when it comes and goes.

Kabir says: “O brother Sadhu! deep is the mystery. Let wise men

seek to know where rests that bird.”
