SUN , SNOW AND ZABARWAN FOOTHILLS OF KASHMIR. 
Dec2010.

To this photo i add a master piece of Kabir . Again a mystical poem with my attempt to put it in simple English :-


Sadho Ye Murdon Ka Gaaon
Peer Mare, Paigambar Mari Hain, Mari Hain Zinda Jogi
Raja Mari Hain, Parjaa Mari Hain, Mari Hain Vaid Aur Rogi
Chanda Mari Hain, Suraj Mari Hain,Mari Hain Dharni Akaasa
Chaudan Bhuvan Ke Chaudhry Mari Hain, In Hun Ki Kaa Aasa
Nauhun Mari Hain, Duss Hun Mari Hain, Mari Hain Sahaj Athaasi
Teiteis Koti Devata Mari Hain, Badi Kaal Ki Bazi
Naam Anam Anant Rehat Hai, Duja Tatva Na Hoi
Kahe Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho, Bhatak Maro Mat Koyee
( Kabir )

O Kabir ! Alas this world ,
Nothing but a place to settle death.
Death ! That carries the saint ,
Death that visits God’s messenger and
life radiating Yogis too .
The King and his subjects ,
The healer and the sick,
All embrace it.
The moon , The sun
The earth and the sky too get engulfed .
So do custodians of fourteen worlds ,
Surrender to it.
Then how can any one remain Not -visited ?
The Nine Die ,
So do the ten.
Behold the eighty eight fading away before its might .
Look ! Even the Thirty three crore enlightened beings ( Devtaas )
surrender to its supremacy ,
So Colossal is the sway of KALAA( Death ).
Yes that unnamed surely remains untouched .
And None except that endless remains the ultimate reality .
Says kabir “ O! Sadhu , Never lose thy track in this
Village to embrace DEATH ”
