Soom Nahi Tu(n) Jaag Savera - Taufiq Karmali

Don’t sleep! Wake up before dawn! You do not have time to sleep!
The moment of reckoning fast approaches, do your meditation and focus on the Guru.. ..1

You will not be born again, you will not return here again,
Concentrate on His name, repeat Ali! Ali!
Say His name Ali! Ali! O forgetful one, bring your attention to the Guru’s feet
Submit yourself at His feet, o forgetful one! Pass away the night with your Lord.. ..refrain

In your mother’s womb you made a promise, how can your consciousness forget it?
The things for which you worry so much, none of them will come with you,
Submit yourself and adore the Satgur, He will protect and save you in an instant! ..2

Arjun and Bhima were great warriors, but their days too came to an end,
Those whose breath made the winds blow, whose food was cooked by the sun,
Even the incredible king Ravana did not escape the call of death.. ..3

Those who did not repeat my Shah’s name, what did their bravery accomplish?
Dasa Gopala was immensely fortunate, for he knew how to control his consciousness.. ..4

God’s nine avatars destroyed the nine demons, now it is your turn demon Kalinga,
The great Pir Hasan Kabirdin reveals, it is time for the Shah to mount (His horse, bringing in the day-of-judgment).. ..5

Soom nahi tu(n) jaag savera, Foorsat naahi tu(n) soñedhi
Antkaal sama chal vaise, Kar le tu(n) goonj gur sandhive

Bod tusa nahi aavña, fer tusa nahi aavña, Tu(n) Aly Aly naam dhyaave re
Aly Aly naam dhyaave tu(n) gaafal, Gur charañe tu(n) chint laave re
Gur charañe tu(n) chint laave gaafala, Vendhi sha rayañ viyaañi re.. ..1

Eji Maata girbha-thaane tu(n) vachanaj diya, Se kyu(n) man visaare re
Jis kaarañ tu(n) ati dukh bhogave, Se nahi sang toomaare re
Bhaj pado Satgur ke sharañe, Jo chhan maa(n)he paar utaareve.. ..Bod tusa nahi..2

Eji Arjan Bhim mahaabal jodha, Sobhi pooriyu bhogidhaave
Pavan jinudhe chalatr boohave, Sooraj tape rasoi ve
Raavan jesa chakravati raaja, kaal na chhodya sohi re.. ..Bod tusa nahi..3

Eji Jine mere Shahji-dha naam na japya, So kiya soora sadhaaidhaave
Daas Gopaal tini vada bhaag, Je man-nu(n) vash karidhaave.. ..Bod tusa nahi..4

Eji Nave avtaare Shah nav daañav chhediya, Dashme(n) kaalinga teri vaari re
Ginan mahaaras Pir gofte Hasanshah, Aj kal Shahdhi asvaari re.. ..Bod tusa nahi..5
