Analysis of O Slave, liberate yourself
Kabir 1440 (Banaras) – 1518 (Maghar)
O Slave, liberate yourself.
Where are you, and where's your home,
find it in your lifetime, man.
If you fail to wake up now,
you'll be helpless when the end comes.
Says Kabir, listen, O wise one,
the siege of Death is hard to withstand.
