Mat bhool are insaan
Teree nekee-baṛee
nahee usse chhupee
Sab dekh rahaa bhagavaan
Mat bhool are …
Hai jisne banaayaa miṭaae vahee
Phool-kaaṭȯ ko sang-sang khilaae vahee
Khel jeevan-maran kaa rachaae vahee
Ḍaale maaṭee ke putale mė jaan
Mat bhool are …
Jo vidhaataa ne likhee use maan le
Praaṇ deve vahee aur vahee praaṇ le
Tere bas me hai kyaa ye zaraa jaan le
Too hai nirbal to vo hai balvaan
Mat bhool are …
Do not forget O man, your emotions are not hidden from him, god sees everything,
The creator is the cause of everything, he causes the flowers and thistles to bloom together, he gets the game of life and death going, and he breathes life into an idol of dust!
Let us accept what God has ordained. He gives life and takes it away. What is under our own control? We are in his control, he is the Omnipotent One.
Mastana (1954); Mohammed Rafi
