Garden: On this tree...

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.

Where to next: the BIRD or the BRANCH?

Here is the full poem:

XXX

II. 95. yâ tarvar men ek pakherû

  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.
  Kabîr says: "O brother Sadhu! deep is the mystery. Let wise men
    seek to know where rests that bird."
