Man kee aankhė khol

Man kee aankhė khol, baabaa

Duniya kya hai ek tamaasha
Chaar dinȯ kee jhoothi aasha
Pal mė tolaa pal mė maasha
Gyaan taraazu leke haath mė
tol sake to tol

Matlab kee sab duniyadaari
matlab kee sab hai sansaari
Jag mė teraa vo hitkaaree
Tan man kaa sab zor lagaakar
naam hari kaa bol

Open the eyes of your mind, O man, open the eyes of your mind.

What is the world but a show and a drama a false hope for but a few days? Take the world in the scale of knowledge, and weigh it if you can you will see that the world is not of much substance when it comes to living the life of the spirit.

The whole world is filled with people who seek their own ends. There is only one thing that will help you selflessly and that is the name of the Lord. You should, therefore, repeat this name with all your body and soul

Dhoop Chhaon (1935); Kundan Lal Saigal
