'Jaag Re Banjaara' sings Arun Goyal

जाग रे बंजारा रे!
किन की जोवे बाट रे
बाड़ी का भंवरा रे

Wake up wanderer
Who are you waiting for?
Why do you sleep so deep?
O bee of this garden!

A wake up call from Kabir, this song of simple metaphors and direct address, reminds us of our bee-like existence - always wandering, always searching. It shakes us out of our many unconscious slumbers, and demands that we take the uphill journey towards wisdom with total awareness.
