The Moat and the Ganga

Kabir

कबीरा खाई कोट कि, पानी पिवै न कोई । जाइ मिलै जब गंग से, तब गंगोदक होइ ॥

Meaning · English

No one drinks the water in a fort's moat. When it joins the Ganga, it becomes Ganga water.

अर्थ · हिन्दी

किले की खाई का पानी कोई नहीं पीता। वही जब गंगा में जा मिलता है तो गंगाजल हो जाता है।
