Chinta Aisi Dakini - A Kabir's Doha


This is another of my most favorite Dohas of Kabir!
Chinta Aisi Dakini
Kaat Kaleja Khaye
Vaid Bechara Kya Kare
Kahan Tak Dawa Lagaye

i strongly recommend you to read the Hindi version of the Doha, because, i JUST CAN'T translate Kabir's Doha, yet, if you don't know Hindi, here is a rough translation!
[Translation: Anxiety or Worry (Depression etc) is such a WITCH that she cuts off the whole heart into slices. The doctor (Vaid) is helpless, how far can his medicine (ointment) reach?]

Maya Mari Na Man Mara- A Kabir's Doha


"Maya Mari Na Man Mara, Mar Mar Gaya Sharir
Asha Trishna Na Mari, Keh Gaya Das Kabir"

[Neither the illusion nor the desire (lust/thirst) of my mind die, only my body grew old (i have become old) and going to die. /But, (unfortunately) neither my desires nor my (material) thirst died]

This is one of most favorite Doha of Kabir. i am UNABLE to translate it to English.The translation i have made above is a weak translation of the Doha.
