MANN RE: KABIR BHAJANS

1. Dhoon sunke dhoon sunke Manuwa Magana huaa Laag Samadhi raho guru charanan, Ander ka dukh door huaa Saar Saabd ki dori laagi, Ta chad hamsa paar huaa Sunna shikher par Jhaler jhalke, Jharata amiras prem chua Kahata Kabir suno bhai sadho, chaakh chaakh alamasta huaa Hearing the divine music, the mind becomes intoxicated. Through the benediction of the Gurus feet ones troubles flee and through His words the soul is set free. The nectar of love forever flows from the mountains. Listen my brethren, says Kabir; the taste of the nectar has made me intoxicated. 2. Pani mein meen pyasi Mohe sun sun aaye hasi Aatam gyan bina nara bhatke, koi Mathura koi kashi Jaise mriga naabhi kasturi, ban ban phirata udasi Jal bich kawal kawal bich kaliya, taa par bhawar niwasi So mann bas trailok bhayo hai, Yati sati sanyasi Jaako dhyaan dhare vidhi harihar, munijan sahas athasi So tere ghat mahi viraje, Param purusha avinashi Hai hazir tohe door batawe, door ki baat raasi Kahai Kabir suno bhai sadho, Guru bina bharam na jaasi The Fish are thirsty in the water; this is what makes me laugh. Without self realization man wanders from Mathura to Kashi like the Kasturi deer who does not realize the intoxicating scent is in its own self and wanders the forest in search of it. The One resides in your own self, the one to whom all the saints and seers pray to. Realization is

in the moment and not far away. Kabir says, O brethren, without the Guru Mans delusion is not removed.

3. Chalna hai door Musafir Kahe sowe re Chet achet nar sooch bawere, bahut neend mat sowe re Kaam krodh mad lobh mein phas gaye, Umariya kahe khowe re Sir par maya moha ki gathari, Sang doot tere howe re So gathari teri beech mein chin gaye, Mund pakari kahe roywe re Geheri nadiya naw purani, kehi vidhi paar tu howe re Kahai Kabir suno bhai sadho, Byaj dhoke mool mat khowei re O Wayfarer you have to go far. One does not have time for slumber. With the vices of lust, pride, anger and greed you are throwing away your precious life. You have burdened yourself with the baggage of delusion, once taken away from you why do you weep. The river is deep and your boat is old, How will you cross it? Kabir says, O brethren, do not waste your life seeking an illusion.

4. Moko Kahan dhoonde re bande Mein to tere paas mein Na teerath mein, naa moorat mein, Na ekaant niwas mein Na mandir mein na masjid mein, Na Kashi Kailash mein Na mein jap mein na mein tap mein, na mein vrat upavas mein Na mein kriya karam mein reheat, nahi yog sanyas mein Nahi praan mein nahi pind mein, na brahmanda aakash mein Na mein bhrikuti Bhawar gufa mein, sab swasan ke swaas mein Khojo howe turat mil jaun, ek pal ki talaash mein Kahai Kabir suno bhai sadho, mein to hu vishwas mein

Where are you searching for me, my friend; I am beside you. You will not find me in pilgrimage, statue, temple, mosque, Kashi or Kailash. Nor will you find me in meditation,

chanting, Fasting, rituals, yoga or Ascetism. Nor will you find me in life, food, the world, the sky, or in the third eye, but I am in the breath of all Living. If your search is right youll find me immediately; in a moments search. Kabir says, listen O brethren; I reside in Trust. 5. Bhajan bina baware tune hira janama gamayo Na sangati ssdhunke kina na guru dware aayo Wahi wahi mare bail ki nayee jo neerey wo khayo Yeh sansar phool sewar ka laali deekh lubhayo Mare chooch ruwa jab niksyo, sir dhuni pach tayo Tu bande maya ke lobhi, Mamta mahal banayo Kahahi Kabir ek ram bhaje binu, anta samay dukh paayo

Without singing bhajan O man, you have wasted your life which is as precious as diamond. You did not keep the company of the righteous nor did you visit the door of your Guru, You have drunk the waters from all vile sources. This life is like a flower, it entices you with its red colour. But when a beak strikes it wilts with its head held low. You are deluded by Maya and have made a palace of attachments. Kabir says, O brethren, without singing the Lords name youll be sorry when your end nears.

6. Mann Re tu dhiraj kyon na dharey Shubh aur ashubh, Karma purwa likhe, Rai ghatey na Badey Honahar howe so howe, chinta kahe karey Pashu pakshi aur kit patanga, sabki khabar karey Garbhawas mein raksha kinhi so kaisey bisrey Mata Pita sut sampat dwara moha ki jaar jadey Samajh dekh mann koi na apna, dhoka mein kaahey padey

O my Mind why are you so restless! All that has to happen, good or bad has already been written. Whatever has to happen will happen so why are you worried? The Lord takes notice of the animals, birds, and even the pebbles and twigs. Who was there to

protect you when you were inside your mothers womb, how do you forget this? All earthly relationships strengthen attachment, try to understand that nobody is your own and free yourself of this illusion. 7. Soham Hamsa sakala samana, Kaya ke guna anahi ana Mati ek sakala samsara, ani ani vasan gharey kumhara Sarita sindhu koop talai, ekahi neer sakala rahu chai Paach varan ke duhiye gaai, Shweta doodh dekhe mann patiyayi Kahai kabir sanshai kar door, Sab ghat Brahmha rahe bharpoor The Atma is universal and one in everything. The entire world is earth, only different vessels made out of clay by the potter. Whether it is the sea, the river, lake or a well the water is always the same. If you milk five cows of different colours you will be surprised that the milk you get is always white in colour. Kabir says, O brethren, remove you doubt that The Lord is Present everywhere in abundance.
