Kahat Kabir Suno bhai Sadho - Akla mat chodjo

This one is very interesting because i was able to understand the lyrics and its meaning without any help. The starting dohe are very well said and then the bhajan is just too good!




ऊँचे महल चुनावते, करते होड्रम होड्र
ते मंदिर खली पड़े , सब गए पलक में छोड़

You built huge palaces, scrambled and ran about
The temples are empty now
Everyone left in a second.

आया है सब जायेगा राजा रंक फ़कीर
कोई सिंहासन चढ़ चले, कोई बंधे ज़ंजीर

All who come will come, be it king, pauper or fakir
Those perched on throws will go
Those tied in shackles too





एकला मत छोड़जो बंजारा रे
परदेस का है मामला खोटा हो जाना रे
दूर देस का है मामला टेढा हो जाना रे


अपना साहब जी ने
बंगला बनायो बंजारा रे
ऊपर रखियो झरोखा
झान्क्या करो प्यारा रे


अपना साहब जी ने
बाग लगायो बंजारा रे
फूलां भरी है छाबड़ी
पाया करो प्यारा रे

अपना साहब जी ने
कुआँ खानायो बंजारा रे
गहरा भरया नीर वां
नहाया करो प्यारा रे

कहें कबीर धर्मदास से बंजारा रे
सत अमरापुर पावीया
सौदा करो प्यारा रे


Dont leave me alone,
o traveler, o wandering traveler
It is a matter of foreign lands, it could get tricky
It is a matter of faraway lands, it could get false
o traveler, o wandering traveler


(Now luring the traveler to stay, see how kabir does it)
Our master built a bungalow here
He built a lattice window on top
Enjoy the view, my dear one!
o traveler, o wandering traveler


Our master planted a garden
The basket is full of flowers
String a garland here, my dear one!
o traveler, o wandering traveler


Our master dug a well
He filled it deep with water
Take a bath there, my dear one!
O traveler, o wandering traveler


Kabir says to Dharamdas,
o traveler, o wandering traveler,
Strike that bargain which
takes you to the city of truth
