Garden: O friend, awake...

O friend, awake, and sleep no more! The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also?

---

Next: This is the end of a path, but not the end of the garden. Return to the beginning: would you like to follow the FLUTE again, or answer the call of the VEENA?

II. 126. jâg piyârî, ab kân sowai

  O friend, awake, and sleep no more!
  The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also?
  Others, who have wakened, have received jewels;
  O foolish woman! you have lost all whilst you slept.
  Your lover is wise, and you are foolish, O woman!
  You never prepared the bed of your husband:
  O mad one! you passed your time in silly play.
  Your youth was passed in vain, for you did not know your Lord;
  Wake, wake! See! your bed is empty: He left you in the night.
  Kabîr says: "Only she wakes, whose heart is pierced with the
    arrow of His music."

Garden: As the night-bird...

As the night-bird Chakor gazes all NIGHT at the moon, so Thou art my LORD and I am Thy servant. From the beginning until the ending of time, there is love between Thee and me, and how shall such love be extinguished?

---

Where to next: the NIGHT or the LORD?

Chakor. This Indian partridge feels a love for the moon that is both intense and unrequited.

Here is the full poem:

II. 110. mohi tohi lâgî kaise chute

  How could the love between Thee and me sever?
  As the leaf of the lotus abides on the water: so thou art my
    Lord, and I am Thy servant.
  As the night-bird Chakor gazes all night at the moon: so Thou art
    my Lord and I am Thy servant.
  From the beginning until the ending of time, there is love
    between Thee and me; and how shall such love be extinguished?
  Kabîr says: "As the river enters into the ocean, so my heart
    touches Thee."
