XXXIV: How could the love between Thee and me sever?

XXXIV II. 110. mohi tohi lâgî kaise chute

HOW could the love between Thee and me sever? As the leaf of the lotus abides on the water: so thou art my Lord, and I am Thy servant. As the night-bird Chakor gazes all night at the moon: so Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant. From the beginning until the ending of time, there is love between Thee and me; and how shall such love be extinguished? Kabîr says: “As the river enters into the ocean, so my heart touches Thee.”
