jaise paat gire tarvar ke
jaise paat gire tarvar ke
milna bahut hi duila
na jane kidhar girega
lagya hai pawan raila

jab howe umar puri jab howe umar puri
jab chhute hukum huzuri jam ke dut bade majbut
jam se pada jhmela

daas kabir har ke gun gaawe
bahar tota paran pawe
guru ki karni guru jayega
o guru ki karni guru jayega
chele ki karni chela

ud jayega, ud jayega, ud jayega hans akela
hans akela akela hans akela
ud jayega, ud jayega, ud jayega hans akela
hans akela, hans akela, hans akela, hans akela

na mohe paki jaki jo na dijo dafnaye
maan us de maati do mutthi jal maati ho jaye
jal maati ho jaye jal maati ho jaye

Like leaves that fall from the bough,
To meet again, a fleeting vow.
No knowing where the wind will blow,
As gusts of life relentlessly flow.

When life's measure is complete,
When earthly bonds begin to retreat,
Death's emissaries, strong and bold,
A confrontation, a story told.

Kabir, the servant, sings God's praise,
Like a parrot, repeating in a daze.
The Guru's deeds, to the Guru return,
The disciple's deeds, the disciple's earn.

The lone swan will take flight,
The lone swan will take flight.
The lone swan, alone, takes flight.
The lone swan, alone, takes flight.

Don't bury me, nor let me decay,
Let my mortal form turn to clay.
Offer my being to the earth,
Water to earth, rebirth.
Water to earth, rebirth.
Water to earth, rebirth.
