Kabir's Doha-Couplet

Tweet

Bada hua to kya hua, jaisa ped khajoor Panthi kp chaya nahin, Phal lage ati door. In vain is the eminence,just like a date tree, No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach. This is a nice doha by Kabir. We may grow in stature and eminence, but it should not be like a date tree. Date tree grows very tall but it neither gives shelter for travelers nor its fruit are in easy reach.
