bālam aavo hamāre geh re
tum bin dukhiyā deh re
sab koī kahae tumhārī naarī mokoñ lāgat laaj re
dil se nahīñ dil lagāyā tab lag kaisā saneh re
ann na bhāvai niiñd na aavai grih-ban dharai na dhiir re
kāmin ko hai bālam pyārā jayo pyāse ko niir re
hai koī aisā par-upgārī piv soñ kahae sunāy re
ab to behāl 'kabīr' bhayo hai bin dekhe jiv jaai re
My body and my mind are grieved for the want of Thee;
O my Beloved! come to my house.
When people say I am Thy bride, I am ashamed; for I have not touched Thy heart with my heart.
Then what is this love of mine? I have no taste for food, I have no sleep; my heart is ever restless within doors and without.
As water is to the thirsty, so is the lover to the bride. Who is there that will carry my news to my Beloved?
Kabir is restless: he is dying for sight of Him.
baalam aawo hamare geh re
tum bin dukhiya deh re
sab koi kahae tumhaari nari mokon lagat laj re
dil se nahin dil lagaya tab lag kaisa saneh re
ann na bhawai nind na aawai grih-ban dharai na dhir re
kaamin ko hai baalam pyara jayo pyase ko nir re
hai koi aisa par-upgari piw son kahae sunay re
ab to behaal 'kabir' bhayo hai bin dekhe jiw jai re
