| Kya Tan Manjhta re (Lyrical Meanings) |
क्या तन मंजता रे
एक दिन माटी में मिल जाना
Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why do you keep scrubbing your body, when it's going to return to dust someday?
---------------------------------------------------
पवन चले उड़ जाना रे पगले
समय चुक पछताना
Pawan chale ud jana re pagle
Samay chook pachhtana
Be aware that the wind shall blow you away someday, and don't repent later about your mistakes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
चल जाना मिल गड़ी बनायी
चड़ा कठ की डोल
चारो तारफ से आग लगाद
फूक दया जस होरी
Chaar janaa mil gadhi banai
Chadhaa kath ki doli
Chaaron taraf se aag laga di
Phoonk dayi re jaise hori
When it's time to cremate you, they will put your body on a palanquin of firewood, and burn you up as if its a bonfire (of Holi)
---------------------------------------------------------
क्या तन मंजता रे
एक दिन माटी में मिल जाना
Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why do you keep scrubbing your body, when it's going to return to dust someday?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
हद जले जैसे बन की लकड़ियां
केश जले जस घास
कंचन जैसी काया जल गायी
कोई ना आये पास
Haad jale raise ban ki lakadiya
Kes jale jaise ghaansa
Kanchan jaisee kaya jal gayi
Koi na aaye Paasa
Your bones will burn like twigs, and your hair like grass, your skin too will burn away, and no one will even come close to you
--------------------------------------------------------
क्या तन मंजता रे
एक दिन माटी में मिल जाना
Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why do you keep scrubbing your body, when it's going to return to dust someday?

तीन दिन तेरी त्रिया रोव
तेरह दिन तेरा भाई
जनम जन्म तेरी माता रोव
करके राख परयी
Teen dina teri tiriya roye
Tera dina tera bhai
Janam janam teri mata roye
Karke aas parayi
For a few days, your family will mourn you, but your mother will mourn you for a long time due to her attachment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
क्या तन मंजता रे

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana

माटी ओढ़ना माटी बिछोना
माटी का सिरहाना
कहे कबीरा सुनले रे बंदे
ये जग आना जाना
Maati odhna maati bichhona
Maati ka sirhana
Kahe Kabira sunle re bande
Ye jug aana jaana
The soil will eventually be your bed, your blanket, and your pillow. Says Kabir, listen, my friend, this world is only a place of transit.
