Kahat Kabi Suno bhai Sadho - Mat kar maya ko ahankar

फूल्या फाल्या क्या फिरे, क्या बतलावत  अंग?
अक दिन फना हो जायेगा जैसे कीट पतंग 


Why so arrogant and puffed up?, Why strut and show your stuff? 
One day you will perish, Like a moth in a flame!

जो उगे वो आथमे, फूले सो कुमलाये 
जो चूने सो डही पड़े , जन्मे सो मर जाये 

That which rises shall set , That which booms shall wither
That which is built shall crumble, That which is born shall die



मत कर माया को  अहंकार

Don't be deluded by Maaya

मत कर माया को  अहंकार , मत कर काया को अभिमान 
काया गार से काची, काया गार से काची,  जैसे ओस रा मोती 
झोंका पवन का लग जाये झपका पवन का लग जाए 
काया धूल हो  जासी 

ऐसा सख्त था महाराज, जिनका मुल्कों में राज 
जिन घर झूलता हाथी, जिन घर झूलता हाथी, जैसे ओस रा मोती 

भरया सिन्दड़ा में तेल, जहाँ रचयो है सब खेल
जल रही दिया की बाती, जल रही दिया की बाती,  जैसे ओस रा मोती 

खूट गया सिन्दड़ा रो तेल , बिखर गया सब निज खेल 
बुझ गया दिया का बाती,बुझ गया दिया का बाती, जैसे ओस रा मोती 

लाल में का लाल, तेरा कौन क्या हवाल 
जिनको जम ले जासी, जिनको जम ले जासी, जैसे ओस रा मोती 

झूठा माई थारो बाप झूठा सकल परिवार 
झूठा कूंटता  छाती,झूठा कूंटता  छाती,  जैसे ओस रा मोती 

बोल्या भवानी हो नाथ, गुरूजी ने सिर पर धरया हाथ 
जिनसे मुक्ति हो जासी, जिनसे मुक्ति हो जासी,  जैसे ओस रा मोती 



Don't be deluded by Maaya, don't take pride in the body 
Its as fragile as clay, like a drop of dew
A blast of wind, just a little gust
And the body will turn to dust!

There was a stern king, famed among nations
Elephants swayed in his court, Like a drop of dew

The clay lamp was filled with oil, 
From it this play unfurled
The light burns in the lamp, Like a drop of dew. 

The clay lamp ran out of oil, the play scattered
The light went out in the lamp, like a drop of dew

Oh you dear one, precious and beloved, how will you feel when Death takes you away?
Death will take you away , like a drop of dew

Mother father - illusion. Family ties - illusion
Mourning, beating your chest - illusion, 
like a drop of dew

Says Bhavani Nath - 
My guru laid his hand on my head
Liberation is mine, Like a drop of dew

Beautiful!
Thanks to Neeraj Arya's Kabir Cafe for making a melodious gem of a song with this deep lyrics.
I could hardly understand the lyrics of the song when I first heard it, but somehow the heart craved for multiple listens. And the more I heard it, the more I started to uncover the depth of the lyrics. I wanted to understand each and every word of the song, and that brought me here.
Big thanks to the blogger of this blog, for such a beautiful translation.
Now I consider myself a fortunate one to have come across this amazing creation in my life.
