tune raat ganwaai soy ke divas ganwaaya khay ke
hira janam amol tha koli badali jaay
tune raat ganwaai soy ke

sumiran lagan lagay ke mukh se kachhu na bol re
baahar ke pat band kar le andar ke pat khol re
man pherat ? gaya na man ka pher re
gaya na man ka pher re
hath kaman ka jod de hath kaman ka jod de
manka manka pher
tune raat ganwaai soy ke divas ganwaaya khay ke
hira janam amol tha koli badali jaay
tune raat ganwaai soy ke

dukh mein sumiran kab kare sukh mein kare na koy
jo dukh mein sumiran kare to dukh kaahe ko hoy
sukh mein sumiran na kiya dukh mein karta yaad re
dukh mein karta yaad re
kahe kabir ravidas ki kahe kabir ravidas ki
kaun sune fariyad
tune raat ganwaai soy ke divas ganwaaya khay ke
hira janam amol tha koli badali jaay
tune raat ganwaai soy ke

You let the night slip by in slumber, the day in feasts,
A diamond birth, priceless, lost to fleeting beasts.
You let the night slip by.

Fix your gaze on remembrance, let your lips be still,
Close the outer doors, and the inner doors fulfill.
The mind wanders, yet the mind's turning remains,
The mind's turning remains.
Fold your hands in prayer, fold your hands in prayer,
Turn the beads of the soul's refrain.
You let the night slip by in slumber, the day in feasts,
A diamond birth, priceless, lost to fleeting beasts.
You let the night slip by.

In sorrow, remembrance is sought, in joy, none is found,
If remembrance arose in sorrow, sorrow would not abound.
In joy, remembrance was forsaken, in sorrow, a plea rings,
In sorrow, a plea rings.
Says Kabir, says Ravi Das,
Who hears the cries that spring?
You let the night slip by in slumber, the day in feasts,
A diamond birth, priceless, lost to fleeting beasts.
You let the night slip by.
