jiw mahal mein siw pahunwan kahan karat unamad re
jiiv mahal meñ siv pahunvāñ kahāñ karat unamād re
pahuñchā devā karilai sevā rain chalī aavat re
jugn jugn karai patichhan sāhab kā dil laag re
sujhat naahi param-sukh-sāgar binā prem bairāg re
sarvan sur bujhī sāheb se pūran pargaT bhaag re
kahae 'kabīr' suno bhaag hamārā paayā athal sohāg re
Serve your God, who has come into this temple of life!
Do not act the part of a madman, for the night is thickening fast.
He has awaited me for countless ages, for love of me He has lost His heart:
Yet I did not know the bliss that was so near to me, for my love was not yet awake.
But now, my Lover has made known to me the meaning of the note that struck my ear:
Now, my good fortune is come.
Kabir says: Behold! How great is my good fortune! I have received the unending caress of my Beloved!
jiw mahal mein siw pahunwan kahan karat unamad re
pahuncha dewa karilai sewa rain chali aawat re
jugn jugn karai patichhan sahab ka dil lag re
sujhat nahi param-sukh-sagar bina prem bairag re
sarwan sur bujhi saheb se puran pargaT bhag re
kahae 'kabir' suno bhag hamara paya athal sohag re
Serve your God, who has come into this temple of life!
Do not act the part of a madman, for the night is thickening fast.
He has awaited me for countless ages, for love of me He has lost His heart:
Yet I did not know the bliss that was so near to me, for my love was not yet awake.
But now, my Lover has made known to me the meaning of the note that struck my ear:
Now, my good fortune is come.
Kabir says: Behold! How great is my good fortune! I have received the unending caress of my Beloved!
