Kabirdasa Charitam III Vol III Book IX Chp 3 Shlokas 15 - 18
कबीर्दास उवाच
व्योम्नि स्थिते भास्करेपि नूनं स्फुटति पद्मिनी |
आकाशस्ये शशाङ्केपि चकोरो नन्दति स्वयम् ||
सुदूरस्थे वारिदोपि नृत्यत्यपि च बर्हिणः |
पातिव्रत्यं स्त्रियः पान्ति विदेशस्थेपि भर्तरि ||
मलेच्छोहं दूरस्तिष्ठन् रामानन्दस्य सन्निधौ |
तत्कटाक्षप्रसादेन केवलं सुखमाप्नुयाम् ||
तस्माद्विज्ञापनं क्षिप्रं कुरुध्वं ब्राह्मणोत्तमाः |
यथा विभीषणं रामे वानराक्ष्च व्याजीज्ञपन् ||
Kabirdasa replied
Though the sun is in the sky, the lotus in the pond (on the earth) blossoms joyfully. Though the moon is in the sky, the chakora bird takes delight in its light. Though the clouds are far away, a sight of them makes the peacock dance in glee. Even when the husbands have gone to far off lands, the women zealously guard their chastity. In a similar way, I, a muslim, shall derive happiness from one glance of Shri Ramananda, standing far away from him. Oh! Great Brahmanas! As the monkey servants of Shri Rama handed over Vibhishana to Him, please inform Shri Ramanands of my arrival.
