Khaakh Mein Khapi Jaanaa Bande Pavanse Udi Jaanaa

Transcribed & translated by: Shree Pragjibhai Ladva

Khaakh Mein Khapi Jaanaa Bande Pavanse Udi Jaanaa,
Mat Karone Abhimaan Ek Din Maatise Mil Jaanaa...
Maati Chun Chun Mahel Banaayaa, Murakh Kahe Ghar Meraa,
Naa Ghar Teraa Naa Ghar Meraa, Chidiyaa Ren Baseraa...
Jaadaa Pero Tamey Jeenaa Pero, Pero Mal Mal Saachaa,
Rupiyaani Gaj Gaj Atlas Pero, Toye Maran Keri Aashaa...
Sonaa Pero Tamey Rupaa Pero, Pero Heerlaa Saachaa,
Vaare Vaare Motidaa Pero, Toye Maran Keri Aashaa...
Maataa Taari Janam Rove, Beni Rove Baar Maasaa,
Gharni Striyaa Ter Din Rove, Karshe Par Gher Aashaa...
Ek Din Jeevo Tamey Doh Din Jeevo, Jeevo Varas Pachaasaa,
Kahat Kabiraa Suno Mere Saadhu, Toye Maran Keri Aashaa...


One Day Your Body Will Burn And The Ashes Will Blow Away With The Wind
Do Not Be Arrogant, One Day Your Body Will Mix With The Dust
The Body Is Made Of Different Materials, A Senseless Person Claims It Is His
It Is Neither Yours Nor Mine, Just Like A Birds Nest To Live For A Short Time
You Cover Your Body With Thin Or Thick Clothes Or With Expensive Material
Even If You Cover Your Body With The Most Expensive Silk, Still Death Will Come One Day
Wear Golden Or Silver Jewellery, Wear Real Diamonds
Decorate Your Hair With Beads, Still Death Will Come One Day
Your Mother Will Cry The Whole Life, Your Sister Will Cry For A Year
Your Wife May Go Elsewhere After Mourning For A Short Time (13 Days)
Whether You Live One Day, Two Days Or You Live Fifty Years
Kabir Saheb Says, Eventually Death Will Come One Day
