***
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)
