Chetan Chetjo Aavyo Taaro

Transcribed & translated by: Shree Pragjibhai Ladva

Chetan Chetjo Aavyo Taaro, Manushya Janam Avtaar Re,
Samran Kari Le, Jeevdaa Sabhaagiyaa, Prabhu Bhajine Utar Paar...
Hari Naamnaa Tamey Haataj Maandone, Vanju Karone Vepaari Re,
Vitthal Naamni Tamey Vastu Vahorone, Tolaa Raakhone Tankshaar Chetan...
Dhirajni Tamey Dhaal Ja Baandhone, Satni Baandhone Talvaar Re,
Raamnaamnaa Tamey Bakhtar Perone, Maaylaa Kaarigaane Maar Chetan...
Kaayaa Kaagaj Keri Naavdi Emaa, Anhad Bhariyel Bhaar Re,
Kaayaa Bedi Jyaare Boodvaane, Laage Sant Utaare Bhavpaar Chetan...
Gaadi Takyaa Taare Gaal Masuriyaane, Ghere Sakadvanti Naar Re,
Hari Truitthaanu Fad Ej Jaanje, Jamvaane Aapi Jaaji Jaar Chetan...
Dhan Dolat Taare Maal Khajaanaane, Haathi Ghodaano Nahi Paar,
Ahiyaanu Dhan Taaru Ahiyaaj Reshe, Saathe Nahi Aave Talbhaar Chetan...
Devaay Toh Tamey Anndaan Dejo Re, Bharyaa Hoy Garath Bhandaar,
Bhutnaath Charne Bhane Akhaiyo, Sant Vachan Chhadidaar Chetan...


O Soul, Be Careful You Have Attained The Body Of A Human Being
O Lucky Person, Remember His Name And Cross The Ocean Of Life By Chanting
Open The Shop Of Harinaam And Trade In His Name Only
Collect The Various Names Of Vitthal (god) And Keep Unlimited Stock Like Money In A Mint
Have A Shield Of Patience And Keep The Sword Of Truth
Wear The Armour Of Ramnaam And Kill Your Inner Poisonous Self
The Body Is Like A Boat Of Paper And It Is Filled With Immense Load (of Sin)
When Your Body Begins To Drown, Saints Save You And Help You To Cross The Ocean Of Life
You Have Bed, Pillows, Small Cheek Cushions And A Beautiful, Intelligent, Charming Wife At Home
You Should Understand That Due To Blessings Of Hari You Have Got Plenty Of Grains To Eat
You Have Money, Plenty Of Wealth And Numerous Elephants And Horses
Your Wealth Will Remain Here, Even A Small Fraction Will Not Accompany You
If Possible, Give Free Food To The Hungry, When Your Stores Are Filled With Useful Material Wealth
Akhaa Bhagat Bows At The Feet Of Bhutnaath (lord Shiv), The Words Of Saints Are Always Pure
