Ek Din Praani Eso Aavshe

Transcribed & translated by: Shree Pragjibhai Ladva

Ek Din Praani Eso Aavshe, Eh Soi Maaraa Rudiyaamaa Saale Re,
Mitrore Madyaa Re Bahu Prakaarnaa, Jamse Jor Re Na Chaale Ho Ji...
Unchi Medi Re Santo Ujdi Eh Maahe Sod Taanine Suto Re,
Kaadhore Kaadhore Ene Sau Kiye Jaane Janamyo Ja Noto Ho Ji...
Sor Re Varasni Kaai Soondari Eh Ubhi Tagmag Juvey Re,
Aare Praanimaa Havey Kaai Nathi Ubhi Dhruskene Roove Ho Ji...
Kenaa Chhorune Kenaa Vaachhru Kenaa Maa Ne Baap Re,
Anntkaade Jaavu Jeevne Eklu Saathe Punya Ne Paapji...
Vedhne Veentiyone Kaai Vaankdaa Eh Pero Tamey Vidhvidhnaa Vaaghaa Re,
Sagoore Madyu Re Taaru Saamtu Sarve Lootvaane Laagyaa Ho Ji...
Sagaa Sagaare Tamey Shu Karo Eh Sagaa Vadaavine Vadshe Re,
Saachaa Re Sagaare Vannaa Laakdaa Bheraa Aavine Barshe Ho Ji...
Nahi Re Traapo Nahi Kaai Toombadaa Nahi Kaai Ugarvaano Aaro Re,
Bhootnaath Charne Akho Bhane Prabhu Maney Paar Re Utaaro Hari...

Everyone Is In A Hurry To Take Him Away For Cremation As If He Was Never Born
A Young 16 Year Old Beautiful Girl Is Standing, Sorrowfully Staring At It
Realising That There Is No Life In The Body, She Is Shedding Tears And Crying Hysterically
Children, Friends, Relatives, Mother And Father, None Will Come With You
When The Time To Leave This World Comes, Fruits Of Good And Bad Deeds Accompany
You May Be Wearing Various Types Of Jewellery And Expensive Clothes
Many Relatives Have Gathered And Are Trying To Take Away Whatever They Can
You Are Attached To Relatives But They Will Take You For Cremation And Return Home
Your Real Relatives Are Pieces Of Wood From The Forest, They Will Burn With You
There Is No Raft Or Tumbadaa (round Hollow Fruit Used For Making Sitar) To Cross The Ocean
Akhaa Bhagat Bows At The Feet Of Bhootnaath (shankar) And Prays To Take Him Across
