Doha#Devotion

Jab main tha tab hari nahi ab hari hai main nahi

Doha byKabir

Hinglish

jab main tha tab hari nahin, ab hari hain main nahin sab andhiyara miti gaya, jab deepak dekhya maahi

— Kabir

Hindi (original)

जब मैं था तब हरि नहीं, अब हरि हैं मैं नांहि। सब अँधियारा मिटि गया, जब दीपक देख्यां माहि॥

English translation

When "I" was there, God was not; now God is, and "I" am not. All the darkness vanished when I saw the lamp within.
