Wherever you seek me, man,
I am close, quite close to you.
Not in sacred places am I
Nor in temple idols either
Nor in solitary places do I remain;
I am close, quite close to you.
I stay not in temple or in mosque,
Nor in Ka`bah or Kailash either.
I remain close, quite close to you.
Not in austerities, nor in meditation am I
Not in feastings or fastings either.
Not in worships laid down by scriptures
Nor in yogic exercises am I;
I tell you, man, if you seek Me in earnest
I am by your side in a trice.
Says Kabir, O sadhu, listen with care--
Where your faith is, I am there.
