dalsingh101 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Most of us would have at least some familiarity with Bhai Gurdas's vaars. Lesser known are his kabitts. I have a book by Pritpal Singh Bindra which has translated these into English. Takes birth carrying such promises That, after gaining life, will remain in piety and remember Shri Guru Arriving here, forgets the benefactor and revels in the criterion of mammon, Being infested with five vices, gets imbued with unholiness Forgets the reality, and accepts the deluded existence, Understands not the criteria of winning and losing and remains in the dream-world, Life is transpiring, win over the being, Revel in holy company and indulge in deep-rooted love (Kabitt-Sawaiyye 528) Note to Mr. Bindra should he ever read this. Uncle ji, I appreciate your work but a table of contents and an index in the back wouldn't go a miss.
