Kabira Garv Na Keejiye

Here's another doha by Kabir:
कबीरा गर्व ना कीजिये, ऊँचा देख आवास ।
काल परों भुइन लेटना, ऊपेर जमसी घास ॥
(Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Kaal Paron Bhuin Letna, Ooper Jamsi Ghaas)

To translate in English:
Says Kabira, Don’t be so proud and vain, Looking at your high mansion
Death makes one lie on bare land, And grass will grow thereon
