Kabeer ke Dohe

When I was younger, these dohas used to give me the necessary gyan… They r so simple…. 2 lines each and yet so profound!!! Found them on a site one day and well couldnt help but put them down here :)

Check out some of Kabeer Das’s famous dohe! 

कबीरा खड़ा बाज़ार में माम्गे सब की खैर
ना काहू से दोस्ती ना काहू से बैर!

बुरा जो देखन में चला, बुरा ना मिलया कोई,
जो मन खोजा आपना तो मुझ से बुरा ना कोई

चलती चाक्की देख के दिया कबीरा रोए
दुइ पाटन के बीच में साबुत बचा ना कोए

साँईं इतना दीजिये जामें कुटुम्ब समाये,
मैं भी भूखा ना रहूँ, साधू ना भूखा जाये

माया मरी ना मन मरा, मर मर गये शरीर,
आशा त्रिश्ना ना मरी, कह गये दास कबीर.

दुख में सुमिरन सब करें, सुख में करे ना कोये
जो सुख में सुमिरन करे, तो दुख काहे होये.

ऐसी वाणी बोलिये, मन का आपा खोये,
अपना तन शीतल करे, औरन को सुख होये.

धीरे धीरे रे मना धीरे सब कुछ होये,
माली सीन्चे सौ घड़ा, ऋतु आये फ़ल होये.

जाती ना पूछो साधु की, पूछ लीजिये ग्यान
मोल करो तलवार की पड़ी रेहेन जो मयान.

    One more from Kabir:

    Sadhu eisa chahiye, jaisa sup suhay
    sar sar ko gahi rahe, thotha dey uday.

    Matti bole kumbhar se, kahe rondhe mohe,
    Ek din aisa ayega main rondhugi tohe.

    This one used to be my peronal favorite!

    One more,

    Bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajoor
    Panthi ko chaya nahi phal lage ati door!

    kabir ke dohe padhane me kitna maza aata hai. man fresh ho jata hai. muje pata nahi ke kabir ji ke karib kitne dohe hoge. ha lekin unka har ek doha padhaneme bahut maja aata hai.

    Kabir ke Dohe to “Gaagar main Gyaan Kaa Saagar Hai” Highly complex thoughts expressed in a simple n effective way, that is the beauty of this genius.
    Thanx for doing this knoble job of spreading heavely bliss in this world.
    I request to all to send me complete poem. I love this poem very much. Some lines are:
    “ek din bhi jee, magar Taaj banakar jee,
    Atal Biswaas banakar jee, Amar yug gaan banakar jee,
    Mat Vihang ban, Aakaash bankar jee,
    Mat pujaari bar, swayam Bhagawaan banakar jee”

    बहुत खूब चुनाव किया है आप ने कबीर के दोहों का. जवाब नहीं, प्राण शर्मा साहेब का एक शेर है:

    “प्राण” सदियाँ ही बीत जाती हैं
    पैदा कब नित कबीर होता है.

    1.’Kankar pathar jode key masjid layi banay,
    Ta chadi mullah bang dey kya bahira hua khuday.’
    2.’Jin dhunda tin paiyan gehray paani paith,
    main bapura budan dara raha kinarey baith.’
    3.’Kaal karey so aaj kar aj karey so ab,
    pal main parlay hoigi bahuri karoge kab.’
    My contribution Nova :). I remember these from my school days.I think they are by Kabir.
