Lord!

A fire is raging without fuel.

No one can put it out.

I know it spreads from you, enflaming

the whole world.

Even in water

the flames sprout.

Not one but nine streams

are burning.  No one

knows any device.

As the city blazes, the watchman

sleeps happily, thinking,

"My house is secure.

Let the town burn, as long as my things

are saved."

Ram, how your colors flicker!

In a hunchback's arms can a man's desires

be fulfilled?

Even as you think of this, you disappear

from birth to birth, your body forever

unsatisfied.  No one is so stupid

as one who knows this

and pretends he doesn't.

Kabir asks, what's the way out

for such a fool?
