Kya hua je janam liya par, kadar janam da paya na
Satguru ki bhagti vala is par rang chadaya na (2x)

What is the use of taking birth if you have not appreciated it, and if you have not dyed it in the color of Satguru's devotion?

Dar dar bande phire bhatakda, khoj andar da laya na
Satguru tere kol si vasda, najar teri par aaya na

You are wandering and traveling to every place, but you don't discover what is within you...
Satguru is dwelling near you, but He didn't come in your sight.

Bina dag tenu chola si milya, dago dag karaya i
Kabhi Nam da sabun leke, ik bhi dag mitaya na

You received this garment (body) with no stains, but you have made it full of stains;
After taking the soap of Naam, you haven't removed even one stain!

Kam, krodh, moh, lobh lutere, ee bhi tere piche hai
Luteya khub khabar na kiti, bhed ino ka laya na

Lust, anger, greed, attachment — these thieves are behind you.
They stole from you very much, but you never knew their secret.

Kabhi na aaya sadh sangat me, kabhi bhi har gun gaya na
Desh tere ki aprampar maya, bhed tu uska paya na.

You never came in the company of a Saint, and you never sang in praise of God;
Your country’s glory is endless, but you’ve never understood that!

Sangat sings the chorus only in this bhajan, the tune is the same as Satguru Ke Guna Ga Le Bande.
Lead repeats underlined words in each verse.
