jaag piyārī ab kā sovai
rain ga.ī din kaahe ko khovai
jin jaagā tin mānik paayā
taiñ baurī sab soai gañvāyā
piya tere chatur tū mūrakh naarī
kabhuñ na piyā kī sej sañvārī
taiñ baurī baurāpan kinhī
bhar-joban piya apan na chīnhī
jaag dekh piya sej na tere
tohi chhāñḌ u.Thi ga.e sabere
kahaiñ 'kabīr' soī dhun jāgai
shabd-bān ur antar lāgai
O friend, awake, and sleep no more! The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also?
Others, who have wakened, have received jewels;
O foolish woman! You have lost all whilst you slept.
Your lover is wise, and you are foolish, O woman!
You never prepared the bed of your husband:
O mad one! You passed your time in silly play.
Your youth was passed in vain, for you did not know your Lord;
Wake, wake! See! Your bed is empty: He left you in the night.
‘Kabir’ says: Only she wakes, whose heart is pierced with the arrow of His music.
jag piyari ab ka sowai
rain gai din kahe ko khowai
jin jaga tin manik paya
tain bauri sab soai ganwaya
piya tere chatur tu murakh nari
kabhun na piya ki sej sanwari
tain bauri baurapan kinhi
bhar-joban piya apan na chinhi
jag dekh piya sej na tere
tohi chhanD uThi gae sabere
kahain 'kabir' soi dhun jagai
shabd-ban ur antar lagai
