St Kabeer's Couplets 27: Two Minds That Never Meet
Asks Kabeer how to long carry
Company of banana and berry,
One in windy air sways,
And with torn leaves it pays.

कहे कबीर कैसे निबाहे, केर बेर को संग
वह झूमत रस आपनी, उसके फाटत अंग.
Kahe Kabeer kaise nibāhe kera bera ko sanga,
Vah jhūmata rasa āpanī, usake phāţata anga.
