Sadho, dekho jag baurana ।
Sanchi kahin to maran dhavai, jhuthe jag patiyana ॥
Nemi dekha dharmi dekha, prat karai asnana ।
Atam mari pakhanhi pujai, unmen kachhu nahin gyana ॥
Bahutak dekha pir auliya, parhai kiteb kurana ।
Kai murid tadbir batavain, unmen uhai jo gyana ॥
Asan mari dinbh dhari baithe, man men bahut gumana ।
Pipar pathar pujan lage, tirath garb bhulana ॥
Topi pahire mala pahire, chhap tilak anumana ।
Sakhi sabdahi gavat bhule, atam khabri na jana ॥
Hindu kahai mohi ram piyara, turk kahai rahimana ।
Apas men dou lari lari mue, marm na kahu jana ॥
Ghar ghar mantra det phirat hain, mahima ke abhimana ।
Guru ke sahit sikhya sab bure, ant kal pachhitana ॥
Kahai kabir suno ho santo, i sab marm bhulana ।
Ketik kahin kaha nahin manai, sahjai sahaj samana ॥
