this still seems so [un?]real —
dimaagh:agar kalyaan na hota to subah na hotee ...
shükr karo tüm üss ka, saahab,
üss kee dayn thi sab saughaatayñ
itna rona kyooñ hae aakhir
pahlay bhee to khaaee haeñ maatayñ
dil:
din kay khaaboñ ko rad karnay
aaee haeñ yeh bojhal raatayñ
mar jaaooñ to phir mümkin haé
yaad na aaeñ üss kee baatayñ
dimaagh:
sach poochho to üss naadaañ nay
tüm hee say to seekheeñ ghaatayñ
On a related note, this is a terrific Kabir composition by Kumarji. You can feel yourself soar.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know nagari, here are the English lyrics:
ReplyDeleteUd jayega hans akela
jag darshan ka mela
jaise paat gire taruvar ke
milna bahut duhela
na jaanu kidhar girega
lagya pavan ka rela
jab hove umar poori
jab chhutega hukam hujuri
yama ke doot bade majboot
yama se pada jhamela
daas Kabir har ke gun gaave
va har ko paran paave
guru ki karni guru jaayega
chele ki karni chela
