Listening to Kumarji's nirguni bhajan's after understanding its meaning is real pleasure. Today I'll share with you the one that I was listening for many years and liked it from my heart. But when I understood its meaning today, I liked it even more and really got amazed. Kumarji singing Kabir's verse is heavenly experience.
उड जायेगा हंस अकेला
जग दर्शन का मेला ।।धृ.।।
The swan will fly away all alone
Spectacle of the world will be a mere fair
जैसे पात गिरे तरुवर के
मिलना बहुत दुहेला
As the leaf falls from the tree
Is difficult to find
न जानु किधर गिरेगा
लगया पवन का रेला।।
Who knows where it will fall
Once it is struck with a gust of wind
जब होवे उमर पूरी
जब छुटेगा हुकम हुजूरी
When life span is complete
Then listening to orders, following others, will be over
यम के दूत बडे मजबूत
यम से पडा झमेला ।।
The messengers of yama are very strong
It's an entanglement with the yama
दास कबीर हर के गुण गावे
वा हर को परन पावे
Servant kabir then praises lord and finds him soon.
गुरु की करनी गुरु जायेगा
चेले की करनी चेला ।।
(Now in the end he also warns Guru will go according to his doings
and the disciple according to his)
