Bura Jo Dekhan — Kabir Doha
By Sant Kabir · हिन्दी
I set out looking for the evil-doer, and found none — for when I searched my own heart, no one was worse than me.

बुरा जो देखन मैं चला, बुरा न मिलिया कोय। जो दिल खोजा आपना, मुझसे बुरा न कोय॥
ऐसी वाणी बोलिये, मन का आपा खोय। औरन को शीतल करे, आपहु शीतल होय॥
साईं इतना दीजिये, जा में कुटुम समाय। मैं भी भूखा न रहूँ, साधु न भूखा जाय॥
I set out looking for the evil-doer, and found none — for when I searched my own heart, no one was worse than me. Speak such words that you lose your ego — words that bring coolness to others, and to yourself. O Lord, grant me just enough — so my family is fed, I never go hungry, and no sadhu turns away hungry from my door.
