Full lyrics-
(HINDI)
मत कर माया को अहंकार, मत कर काया को अभिमान,
काया गार से काची – 2
ओ काया गार से काची , हो जैसे ओस रा मोती,
झोंका पवन का लग जाए, झपका पवन का लग जाए,
काया धूल हो जासी – 2

ऐसा सख्त एक महाराज, जिसका मुल्कों पे राज,
जिन घर झूलता हाथी – 2
ओ जिन घर झूलता हाथी, हो जैसे ओस रा मोती,
झोंका पवन का लग जाए, झपका पवन का लग जाए,
काया धूल हो जासी – 2

रे मत कर माया को अहंकार …

खूट्यो सिन्दड़ा रो तेल, बिखर गयो सब निज खेल,
बुझ गयी दिया की बाती – 2
ओ बुझ गयी दिया की बाती, हो जैसे ओस रा मोती,
झोंका पवन का …

झूठा माई थारो बाप, झूठो सकल सब परिवार,
झूठी कूटता छाती – 2
ओ झूठी कूटता छाती, हो जैसे ओस रा मोती,
झोंका पवन का …

बोल्या भवानी हो नाथ, गुरु ने जो सर पे धरया हाथ,
जिनसे मुक्ति हो जासी – 2
( मुक्ति सतत है, इसलिए इस पंक्ति में ‘ओस रा मोती’ नहीं गाएंगे )

मत कर माया को अहंकार, मत कर काया को अभिमान,
काया गार से काची – 2
ओ काया गार से काची , हो जैसे ओस रा मोती,
झोंका पवन का लग जाए, झपका पवन का लग जाए,
काया धूल हो जासी – 2

(ENGLISH)
Don’t be deluded by Maaya, don’t take pride in the body
Its as fragile as clay, like a drop of dew
A blast of wind, just a little gust
And the body will turn to dust!

There was a stern king, famed among nations
Elephants swayed in his court, Like a drop of dew

The clay lamp was filled with oil,
From it, this play unfurled
The light burns in the lamp, Like a drop of dew.

The clay lamp ran out of oil, the play scattered
The light went out in the lamp, like a drop of dew

Oh, you dear one, precious and beloved, how will you feel when Death takes you away?
Death will take you away, like a drop of dew

Mother father – an illusion. Family ties – illusion
Mourning, beating your chest – illusion,
like a drop of dew

Says Bhavani Nath –
My guru laid his hand on my head
Liberation is mine, Like a drop of dew
