Kabir kaha garbiyo dehi dekh surang

Doha byKabir

Hinglish

Kabir kaha garbiyau, dehi dekhi surang bichhadiyan milibau nahin, jyun kaanchli bhuvang

— Kabir

Hindi (original)

कबीर कहा गरबियौ, देही देखि सुरंग। बछड़ियाँ मिलिबौ नहीं, ज्यूँ कांचली भुवंग॥

English translation

Kabir, why be proud, looking at your handsome body? Once parted from it, you will never have it back — like the skin a snake has shed.
