Title means, approximately, "I have nothing in myself." Metaphysicians can reflect on the title's aptness in regard to its disappearing act.

Meanwhile, a few things: For a while, Mujhmein disappeared completely into the expanded version of Kahai Kabir Diwana (कहै कबीर दीवाना). Diamond's 2002 edition has only the last five of its ten original chapters, that being made clear in the blurb from them on the main page. Additionally, a glimpse inside the book @ G**gle Books reveals that the chapter titles are the same as ch 16-20 of the expanded Diwana, except that ch 16's title has been changed to that of the book. TOC below is presumed to be that of the (putative) original book, and derives from ch 11-20 of Diwana.

The 2002 edition has an ISBN anomaly. Most sites cite 81-7182-254-1, or its ISBN-13 equivalent, 9788171822546. A few sites have 81-7182-273-8. As it happens, this can be resolved. 81-7182-254-1 is on the back cover, while 81-7182-273-8 is printed inside. The "most sites" version works better (self-evidently).

A transliteration note: Lots of variations can be found of this title's rendering in the Latin alphabet, this one currently being read, including any combinations of Mujhme or Mujh Mein with Kuch and Nahi. Kuch is actually much more common but Kuchh is more correct and the combination as chosen finds the others, so no worries, eh? -- Sarlo (talk) 09:34, 14 May 2014 (PDT)
