Kabira khada bazaar mein

Was watching "Kabira khada bazaar mein", a documentary on NDTV 24X7 by Shabnam Virmani - loved it and decided to lookout for the dohas by Kabir.

Will try collecting as many as I can. Will also dig out that book of Kabir Dohas that Giri bought some years back.

Here's the first one...
कबीरा खड़ा बाज़ार में, माँगे सबकी खैर ।
ना कहू से दोस्ती, ना कहू से बैर ॥

(Kabira khada bazaar mein, Mange sabki khair,
Na kahu se Dosti, Na kahu se Bair )

To translate in English:
Kabira in the market place, wishes welfare for all
Neither friendship nor enemity with anyone at all

The Aurobindo ashram at Auroville held a Kabir Festival - "Koi Sunta Hai", last year where this film was screened. More info here: AurovilleRadio.org
