II. 126. jag piyari, ab kan sowai
jag piyari, ab kan sowai,
raiin gayee din kaahe ko khove
jin jaagaa tin maanik paayaa,
tain bouree sab soy ganvaayaa
piye tere chatur too murakh naaree,
kabahun n piy kee sej sanvaaree
tain bouree bouraapan keenhee,
bhar-joban piy apan n cheenhee
jaag dekh piy sej n tere,
taahin chhaandi uthi gaye savere
kahye Kabir soyee dhun jaagye,
shabd-baan ur-antar laagye
O friend, awake, and sleep no more!
The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also?
Others, who have wakened, have received jewels;
O foolish woman! you have lost all whilst you slept.
Your lover is wise, and you are foolish, O woman!
You never prepared the bed of your husband:
O mad one! you passed your time in silly play.
Your youth was passed in vain, for you did not know your Lord;
Wake, wake! See! your bed is empty: He left you in the night.
Kabir says: "Only she wakes, whose heart is pierced with the arrow of His music"
