'Chaalat Chaalat Jug Bhaya' by Padma Ram

कबीरा जी
चालत चालत जुग भया
पाँव कोस पर धाम जी

O Kabir
You’ve been walking for ages
Home is just a step away

Kabir goes to the heart of our existential weariness - walking and walking, but never arriving. And yet, home, our true abode, is always just a step away.
