Poem LXXXVI

III. 96. jîv mahal men S'iv pahunwâ

Serve your God, who has come into this temple of life!
Do not act the part of a madman, for the night is thickening
  fast.
He has awaited me for countless ages, for love of me He has
  lost His heart:
Yet I did not know the bliss that was so near to me, for my love
  was not yet awake.
But now, my Lover has made known to me the meaning of the note
  that struck my ear:
Now, my good fortune is come.
Kabîr says: "Behold! how great is my good fortune! I have
  received the unending caress of my Beloved!"
