Kabir : When the Day Came

For more about the 15th c. CE mystic and poet Kabir, see this earlier post.

When the Day came —
The Day I had lived and died for —
The Day that is not in any calendar —
Clouds heavy with love
Showered me with wild abundance.
Inside me, my soul was drenched.
Around me, even the desert grew green.

Translation Andrew Harvey
