Kabir Cafe – Mat Kar Maya Ko Ahankar Lyrics In English (Translation)

Mat Kar Maya Ko Ahankaar, Mat Kar Kaya Ko Abhimaan
Kaya Gaar Se Kachi
Mat Kar Maya Ko Ahankaar, Mat Kar Kaya Ko Abhimaan
Kaya Gaar Se Kachi

Do not have pride in material wealth, do not have arrogance in the body.
The body is fragile, like clay.
Do not have pride in material wealth, do not have arrogance in the body.
The body is fragile, like clay.

O Kaya Gaar Se Kachi, Re Jaise Os Ra Moti
Jhonka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye, Jhanka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye
Kaya Dhool Ho Ja Si Kaya Teri Dhool Ho Ja Si

O body, so fragile, like a pearl in the wind.
If a gust of wind touches it, it will turn to dust.
Your body too will turn to dust, just like this.

Aisa Sakht Tha Maharaj, Jiska Mulkon Pe Raaj
Jin Ghar Jhoolta Hathi Jin Ghar Jhoolta Hathi
Aisa Sakht Tha Maharaj, Jiska Mulkon Pe Raaj
Jin Ghar Jhoolta Hathi, Jin Ghar Jhoolta Hathi

There was once a mighty king who ruled over many lands,
In whose palace a swinging elephant was seen.
There was once a mighty king who ruled over many lands,
In whose palace a swinging elephant was seen.

O Jin Ghar Jhoolta Hathi, Re Un Ghar Diya Na Baati
Jhonka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye, Jhanka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye
Kaya Dhool Ho Ja Si Kaya Teri Dhool Ho Ja Si

O those whose house had the swinging elephant,
Their lamps were extinguished and their light faded.
If a gust of wind touches, it turns to dust,
Your body too will turn to dust, just like this.

Khut Gaya Sindda Ro Tel, Bikhar Gayo Sab Nij Khel
Bujh Gayi Diya Kee Bati
O Bujh Gayi Diya Ki Bati, Re Jaise Os Ra Moti
Jhonka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye, Jhanka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye
Kaya Dhool Ho Ja Si Kaya Teri Dhool Ho Ja Si

The life oil has drained, everything has fallen apart.
The light of the lamp has gone out.
The light of the lamp is extinguished,
Just like a pearl in the wind.
If a gust of wind touches it, it will turn to dust,
Your body too will turn to dust, just like this.

Jhootha Mai Tharo Baap, Jhootha Sakal Parivaar
Jhoothi Kootta Chhati Jhoothi Kootta Chhati
O Jhoothi Kootta Chhati, Re Jaise Os Ra Moti

My father is a liar, my whole family is a lie,
False pride, false chest of lies.
Oh false chest of lies,
Like a pearl in the wind.

Bholya Bhawani Ho Nath, Guru Ji Ne Jo Sar Pe Dharaya Hath
Jin Se Mukti Ho Ja Si Jinse Mukti Ho Ja Si..
Bholya Bhawani Ho Nath, Guru Ji Ne Jo Sar Pe Dharaya Hath
Jin Se Mukti Ho Ja Si Jinse Mukti Ho Ja Si
Jin Se Mukti Ho Ja Si Jinse Mukti Ho Ja Si

Blessed is Bhawani, O Lord, who placed his hand upon the head of the Guru,
From whom liberation is achieved, from whom liberation is achieved.
Blessed is Bhawani, O Lord, who placed his hand upon the head of the Guru,
From whom liberation is achieved, from whom liberation is achieved,
From whom liberation is achieved, from whom liberation is achieved.

Jin Se Mukti Ho Ja Si Re Jaise Os Ra Moti
Jhonka, Jhonka, Jhonka

From whom liberation is achieved, like a pearl in the wind.
A gust, a gust, a gust.

Mat Kar Maya Ko Ahankaar, Mat Kar Kaya Ko Abhimaan
Kaya Gaar Se Kachi
Mat Kar Maya Ko Ahankaar, Mat Kar Kaya Ko Abhimaan
Kaya Gaar Se Kachi

Do not have pride in material wealth, do not have arrogance in the body.
The body is fragile, like clay.
Do not have pride in material wealth, do not have arrogance in the body.
The body is fragile, like clay.

O Kaya Gaar Se Kachi, Re Jaise Os Ra Moti
Jhonka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye, Jhanka Pawan Ka Lag Jaye
Kaya Dhool Ho Ja Si Kaya Teri Dhool Ho Ja Si

O body, so fragile, like a pearl in the wind.
If a gust of wind touches it, it will turn to dust.
Your body too will turn to dust, just like this.
