A Sabbath Poem (Kabir)


I JUST LAUGH
~ by Kabir (c. 1440-1518)

If I told you the truth about God,
you might think I was an
idiot.

If I lied to you about the Beautiful One
you might parade me through the streets shouting,“This guy is a genius!”

This world has its pants on backwards.
Most carry their values and knowledge in a jug that has a big hole in it.

Thus having a clear grasp of the situation
if I am asked anything these days

I just laugh!


(from the Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices
from the East and West, translation Daniel Ladinsky
- Penguin Compass, 2002, on this website)
