कबीर बिरहु भुयंगमु मनि बसै मंतु न मानै कोइ ॥राम बिओगी ना जीऐ जीऐ त बउरा होइ ॥ ७६ ॥*kabīra birahu bhuyaṁgamu mani basai maṁtu na mānai kōi ॥**rāma biōgī nā jīai jīai ta baurā hōi ॥ 76 ॥*
In plain words
Kabīr, the serpent of *birah* lives in the mind, and no charm has any hold on it. Parted from Rām a man does not live; and if he lives, he lives mad. *birah*, the ache of being held apart from the one you love.
