THE WEDDING hour is in the twilight, when the birds have sung their last and the winds are at rest on the waters, when the sunset spreads the carpet in the bridal chamber and the lamp is made ready to burn through the night.
Behind the silent dark walks the Unseen Comer and my heart trembles.
All songs are hushed, for the service will be read under the evening star.

অসীম ধন তো আছে তোমার
            তাহে সাধ না মেটে।
নিতে চাও তা আমার হাতে
            কণায় কণায় বেঁটে।
দিয়ে      তোমার রত্নমণি
            আমায় করলে ধনী,
   এখন দ্বারে এসে ডাক,
            রয়েছি দ্বার এঁটে।
আমায় তুমি কর দাতা
            আপনি ভিক্ষু হবে,
বিশ্বভুবন মাতল যে তাই
            হাসির কলরবে।
তুমি      রইবে না ওই রথে,
            নামবে ধুলাপথে,
   যুগযুগান্ত আমার সাথে
            চলবে হেঁটে হেঁটে।

III. 74. pratham ek jo apai ap
IN THE beginning was He alone, sufficient unto Himself: the formless, colourless, and unconditioned Being.
Then was there neither beginning, middle, nor end;
Then were no eyes, no darkness, no light;
Then were no ground, air, nor sky; no fire, water, nor earth; no rivers like the Ganges and the Jumna, no seas, oceans, and waves.
Then was neither vice nor virtue; scriptures there were not, as the Vedas and Puranas, nor as the Koran.
Kabir ponders in his mind and says, 'Then was there no activity: the Supreme Being remained merged in the unknown depths of His own self.'
The Guru neither eats nor drinks, neither lives nor dies:
Neither has He form, line, colour, nor vesture.
He who has neither caste nor clan nor anything elsehow may I describe His glory?
He has neither form nor formlessness,
He has no name,
He has neither colour nor colourlessness,
He has no dwelling-place.
