The importance of words 

Saar shabd jaane bina jiv parlay mein jaaye

Kaaya maaya thir nahi shabd lehu arthaye 

Kutil bachan sab te bura jaari kare sab chhar 

sadhu bachan jal roop hai barse amrit dhaar

Khoji hua shabd ka dhanya sant jan soye

Kahe kabir gahi shabd ko kabahu na jaaye bigoye 

Kutil bachan nahi boliye sheetal bain le chinha 

gangajal sheetal bhaya parbat phod tinhi 

Sheetalta  sab jaaniye samta rahe samaye

vish chhode nirbas rahe sab din dukh jaaye 

Karak gadan durjann vachan rahe sant jan taari

bijuli pare samudra mein kaha sakegi jaari

Khod khaad dharti sahe kaat koot banraaye

kutil bachan sadhu sahe aur se saha na jaaye

kubuddhi kamani chadhi rahi kutil bachan ke teer 

bhari bhari maare kaan mein saale sakal sharir 

Yahi badhai shabd ki jaise chumbak bhaye 

bina shabd nahi ubare keta kare upaye 

Soyi shabd nij saar hai jo guru diya bataye 

balihari wa gurun ki sheesh biyog na jaaye

sikhe sune vichar le tahi shabd sukh deh 

bina samjh shabd gahe kachhu na loha leya 

Kaal phire sir upare jeevahi nazar

bina shabd nahu ubare keta kare upaye 

jantra mantra sab jhooth hai mati bharmo jag koye

saar shabd jaane bina kaga hans na hoye 

Shabd kahe so kijiye bahutak guru labaar

apne apne laabh ko thor thor batpaar

Saar ahabd nij jaani ke jin kinhi partiti

kaag kumat taji hans hwai chale su bhaujal jiti

karma phand jag phandiya jap tap pooja dhyan

jahi shabd te mukti hoye so na para pahichan 

Shabd samhare boliye shabd ke haath na paav

ek shabd aushadhi kare ek shabd kare ghaav

Shabd ju aisa boliye tan ka aapa khoye

auran ko sheetal kare aapan ko sukh hoye 

Jihi shabde dukh na lage soyi shabd uchaar 

tapat miti sheetal bhaya soyi shabd tatsaar

Kaaga kako dhan hare koyal kako det 

meetha shabd sunaye ke jag apno kari let

shabd paaye surati rakhahi so pahunche darbaar

kahe kabir tahan dekhiye baitha purush humaar

shabd barabar dhan nahi jo  koyi jaane bol 

heera to damo mile shabdahi mol na tol 

shabd na kare mulahija shabd phire chahu dhaar 

aapa par jab chinhiya tab guru shish byavahaar 

Sheetal shabd uchariye aham aaniye nahi

tera preetam tujhahi mein dushman bhi tujh mahi 

Shabd updes ju main kahun jo koyi mane  sant

kahe kabir vichari ke tahi milavo kant 

Shabd khoji mann bas kar sahaj jog hai yeh

satta shabd  nij saar hai yah to jhoothi deh

Jibhya jinn bas mein kari tin bas kiyo jahaan

nahi to augun upaje kahi sab sant sujaan

Sant santoshi sarvada shabdahi bhed vichar

satguru ke partaap te sahaj sheel mat saar 

Lagi lagi kya kare laagatt rahi lagaar

laagi tabahi jaaniye nikasi jaaye dusaar 

Harijan soyi jaaniye jihwa kahe na  maar

aath pahar chitwn rahe guru ka gyan vichar

Teela teeli dhayi ke phori kare maidaan

samajh saka karta chale soyi shabd nirbaan

Shabd duraya na dure kahu ju dhol bajaye

jo jan hove jauhari lehe sheesh chadhaye

Shabd guru ka shabd hai kaaya ka guru kaaya

bhakti kare nij shabd ki satguru yo samujhaye 

shabd shabd sab koyi kahe shabd ka karo vichar 

ek shabd sheetal kare ek shabd de jaar

Rain timir naasat bhayo jabahi BHANU ugaye

Saar shabd ke jaante karam bharam miti jaaye

Jahwa mein amrit base jo koi jaane bol 

bish basuki ka utare jihwa tane hilol 

Sahaj taraju aani ke sab ras dekha toli 

sab ras mahi jeebh ras ju koyi jaane boli

Mukh aave soyi kahe bole nahi vichar

hate parayi aatma jeebh bandhi talwaar

Bole bol vichari ke baithe thor sambhari

kahe kabir ta das ko kabahu na aave haari 

Ek shabd sukh khani hai ek shabd dukh rasi

ek shabd bandhan kate ek shabd  gal phansi
