RAM NAAM KAA YEH MELA (NURI)

Ram Naam Kaa, Yeh Mela Mela
Jag Saaraa Saaraa, Khin-a Kaa Khelaa
Ud Jaa Ai Pankhee Hans Akelaa
Mat Jaao Nuri Pyaasee Pyaasee

Dhaam-a Alakh-a Jee Aaheen Dhaaraa
Hitrey Vayhee Kareen Visaaraa
Uth Jaag Morey Pyaaraaa Pyaaraa
Mat Jaao Nuri Pyaasee Pyaasee

Keen-a Rakheen Kaa Toon Intzaaree
Keen-a Kareen Kaa Aa Toon Tiyaaree
Kithay Tuhinjee Baaree Baaree
Mat Jaao Nuri Pyaasee Pyaasee

Vanyee Kamaa-ay Fakeeraa Sang
Uthaarey Andar-a Mein Ukeeraa Umang
Rooh-a Tey Chaarh Vanyee Ko Rang
Mat Jaao Nuri Pyaasee Pyaasee

Kyun Baney Toon Jag Kaa Chelaa
Dekh Samooraa Yeh Dhoolee Kaa Dhelaa
Maanikh Janam Kar Suhelaa
Mat Jaao Nuri Pyaasee Pyaasee



GO NOT THIRSTY!

The entire world is a carnival, in the Lord's name:
The entire creation,
Is just a moment's transitory game:
And the swan bird flies away alone,
From the body's frame:
"And", says Nuri "go not hence, thirsty and unfulfilled"

A shining ray are you,
From your heavenly abode:
But here, in forgetfulness, you have fallen:
Awaken my beloved,
Open thine eyes, and awaken
"And," says Nuri "go not hence, thirsty and unfulfilled"

Neither have you shown any care,
Nor have you done any introspection:
No preparation, have you made:
You know not,
Even your destination:
"And," says Nuri, "go not hence, thirsty and unfulfilled"

If your goal be true learning,
Go seek the company of the sages:
Raise within thee, the rapture of yearning:
And steep thy soul,
In a hue holy and exalting
"And," says Nuri, "go not hence, thirsty and unfulfilled"

Of this world, a bondsman,
You have become, of no worth:
Everything here, is nothing but a heap of earth
So, fail not,
Make the most of this human birth:
"And," says Nuri, "go not hence, thirsty and unfulfilled"
