Sahib Hai Rungrez - Kabir


(Credit: YouTube user SaqibTahir)

***

Sahib Hai Rungrej , Chunri Mori Rung Daari
The Master is the King of Colours, He has colored my veil  

Syaahi Rang Churaye ke re , Diyo Majitha Rung
Removing the dark stains, he gave that color of love

Dhoye Se Chhute Nahin Re , Din Din Hote Surung 
By washing which fades not but becomes brighter by the day 

Bhav Ke Kundi Neh Ke Jal Mein , Prem Rung Dayee Bore
Using water of affection in the tub of feelings, He poured the color of love 

Dukh Deh Mael Lutaye De Re , Khoob Rungi JhakJhore
Rinsing away the bodily sorrows and dirt, the Expert dyed it deftly 
 
Sahib Ne Chunri Rungi Re , Peetam Chatur Sujaan
The Master who dyed the veil is expert, beloved and great 
 
Sab Kutch Un Par Vaar Dun Re , Tan Man Dhan Aur Pran
I surrender everything to Him – Body, Mind, Wealth and Life
 
Kahain Kabir Rungrej Piyare , Mujh Par Huye Dayal
Says Kabir, The Beloved Dyer is benevolent on me
 
Seetal Chunri Orhike Re , Bhayee Haun Magan Nihaal  
Covered with this cool veil, My being is blissfully fulfilled. 

(Translation: Songs of Kabir)
