sumiran kar le mere mana
sumiran kar le mere mana
teru biti umar hari naam bina re
sumiran kar le mere mana
up din bina dhenu khsir bina
dharati mih bina
jais taruvar fal bin hi na
jaise prani hari naam bina re
sumiran kar le mere mana
dih naina bina rain chandr bina
mandir dip bina
jaise pandit ved vihin
jaise prani hari naam bina re
sumiran kar le mere mana

Reflect, my heart, reflect and pray,
Reflect, my heart, before you fade away,
Your fleeting years, in shadows they did stray,
Without the Lord, without His holy ray.
Reflect, my heart, and seek the light, they say.

As days are void of sun's warm kiss,
As cows give naught, no milk of bliss,
As earth is dry, where rain we miss,
As trees bear fruit, yet nothing is,
So lives the soul, without God's sweet kiss.
Reflect, my heart, and seek the light, they say.

As eyes are blind, devoid of night,
As moonless dark denies the sight,
As temples lack the guiding light,
As scholars fail in truth and right,
So lives the soul, without God's true might.
Reflect, my heart, and seek the light, they say.
