Ud Jayega Hans Akela

Ud Jayega hans akela
Jag darshan ka mela...

(What is this world if not a play of illusions,
the swan (individual soul) will fly away alone from this play)

Jaise paat gire taruvar ke
Milna bahut duhela
Naa jaanu kidhar girega
Lageya pawan ka rela

Ud Jayega hans akela
Jag darshan ka mela...

(Just like it is difficult to trace a leaf that falls away from the tree,
Who knows where we go when the winds of death scatter us)

Jab howe umar puri
Jab chutega hukum huzuri
Jam ke doot bade mazboot
Jam se pada jhamela

Ud Jayega hans akela
Jag darshan ka mela...

(When our allotted time on earth is up, when we cease to act in this drama,
Then the messengers of Death (Jam/ Yama) will arrive to carry us away, forcefully if needed)

Das kabir har ke gun gaawe
Wah har ko paran pawe
Guru ki karni guru jayega
Chele ki karni chela

Ud Jayega hans akela
Jag darshan ka mela...

(Kabir is immersed in the praise of the one Lord and requests an early audience with the Lord,
Each one, guru and disciple alike will reap he fruits of their respective actions)

Ud Jayega hans akela
Jag darshan ka mela
