Ram

is a physical labourer
In blazing heat and numbing chill
He goes about his work in a manner
Which seems almost mechanical

Shyam is a beggar
He sits outside the temple
The whole day he does nothing
Except for the occassional fake crying

For all his hardwork
Ram's earnings seem like a joke
By showing himself to be a devotee
Shyam earns much more money

Previously thought Ram was a fool
Then dawned the realisation
Ram's hardwork is true devotion
Shyam is just a false devotee
Who uses the name of GOD
To earn some easy money

Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye
Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye

Translation
Slowly slowly stay my mind, Slowly everything happens
Gardner may water garden a hundred times, When the Season comes, there is fruit

Meaning

Kabir tells his mind to slow down, everything in life happens slowly, in its own time. The fruit only comes when the season comes, so will the fruit of life come in its own time.

Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye
Do Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabit Bacha Na Koye

Translation
Watching the grinding stones, the Light Kabir Cries
Inside the Two Stones, no one survives

Meaning:

Kabir sees the grinding stones as the duality that we live in. Heaven and earth, Good and Bad, Male and Female, High and Low - all around is duality. This play of opposites, this Chalti Chakki (moving mill) gets everyone, no one is save from in it's powerful grip.

Whoever enters this duality is crushed. No one survives. Kabir cries because rarely, if ever, does one see the oneness, the divinity, behind the duality.
