लाली मेरे लाल की

लाली मेरे लाल की, जित देखूं तित लाल| लाली देखन मैं गयी, मैं भी गयी लाल|

"Red was my child all over;I went to examine red and became red myself

The red color here denotes the devotion and passion for God.The imagery used is that of the dyeing of cloth by a weaver of cloth which was the profession of Kabir through the parents who brought him up.The thoughts depicted are that of a woman.This doha inspires women to feel the extreme devotion , passion and love for God which is the best way for their salvation or liberation.It uses the symbolism of the mother and child love which is pure and natural and easy to identify with for a woman.It says that a woman saw that her child was red all over his body, wherever she looked the child was all red so out of extreme curiosity and concern and devotion to the child she went over to examine why is it so that the child is red and soon she finds she herself is immersed in the red color.This immersion of the woman in red is nothing but her liberation from the cycle of birth and death and her immersion in God.If we completely focus on God with utmost devotion , love , passion and concern for our liberation it is the best way to make it happen.

The Bhagwatgeeta says that
ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्य मत्पराः अनन्येनैव योगेन माम ध्यायन्त उपासते तेषाम अहम् समुद्धर्ता म्रित्युसंसारासागारात भवामि न चिरात पार्थ माय्यावेशित्चेत्साम which translates as "Those who having dedicated all their works to me and with practice of bhaktiyoga pray to me incessantly and with focus, I very soon remove them from the cycle of birth and death""
