कबीर बांसु बडाई बूडिआ इउ मत डूबहु कोइ ॥
kabeer baaNs badaa-ee boodi-aa i-o mat doobahu ko-ay.
Kabeer, the bamboo is drowned in its egotistical pride. No one should drown like this.
चंदन कै निकटे बसै बांसु सुगंधु न होइ ॥१२॥
chandan kai niktay basai baaNs suganDh na ho-ay. 12
Bamboo also dwells near the sandalwood tree, but it does not take up its fragrance. 12
Sat Shri Akal
Can't have these in my pot garden!
:-) Maybe a little bonzai bamboo...
