(by Kabir)

rûpa rekha jehi hai nahim, adhara dhare nahim deha
gagana maNDala ke madhye rahtâ purûSha bideha
sâ'im merâ eka tûm aur na dûjâ koi
jo sâhab dûjâ kahe dûjâ kulakâ hoi
saguna kâ sevâ karom nirguna kâ karûm jnâna
nirguna saguna ke pare tahem hamârâ dhyâna

He has no form or dimension,
no body or earthliness.
In the middle of heaven's mandala He stays,
the Incorporeal Person.
He is my Lord, the One and One only, without a second.
Anyone who says He is more than one
is of no good family.
(Says Kabir:) I worship God-With-Attributes
I have gnosis of God-Without-Attributes
But beyond Attributes and Non-Attributes—
there I fix my attention!
