Hi Joe, The couplet "Moko Kahan ......." is by Kabir & it is in old Hindi ( I forget , whether , Khadi Boli or Braj Bhasha )
As far as I recollect the first four lines of the poem are: MOKO KAHAN DHUNDE RE BHAIYA ( Where are you searching for me , O Brother) MAIN TO TERE PAS MEIN ( I am next to you) NA MAI MANDIR , NA MAI MASJID (I am neither in the temple nor in the mosque) NA KABE NA KAILAS MEIN. ( Neither in Ka'bah nor in Kailas.)
