This poem is a musing by #Kabir on the transient nature of our physical body. He reflects on how we are but a brief wrinkle in time, but how in so many ways we are knotted up in life!

Lyrics and Meaning:

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...

Pawan chale ud jana re pagle
Samay chook pachhtana
The winds are enough to blow you away, o fool!
If you waste this time, you will regret it...

Chaar janaa mil gadhi banai
Chadhaa kath ki doli
People will just make a palanquin...
And put your body on a pyre

Chaaron taraf se aag laga di
Phoonk diye re jaise holi
They will set fire to you from four directions
Just like a Bonfire...

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...

Haad jalen jaise ban ki lakadiyan
Kes jale jaise ghaansa
Your bones will burn as easily as twigs...
And your hair as easily as hay

Kanchan jaise kaya jal gayi
Koi na aaye Paasa
This body that you value as precious gold, will simply burn away…
And no one will even come close to you

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...

Teen dina teri tiriya roye
Tera dina tera bhai
Your wife may mourn for three days
Maybe your brothers will mourn for thirteen...

Janam janam teri mata roye
Koi na aaye Paasa
Your mother might mourn for lifetimes...
But none will come near you

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...
