The Songs of Kabir · 1 passage

II. 126. jâg piyârî, ab kân sowai O FRIEND, awake, and sleep no more! The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also? Others, who have wakened, have received jewels; p. 84 O foolish woman! you have lost all whilst you slept. Your lover is wise, and you are foolish, O woman! You never prepared the bed of your husband: O mad one! you passed your time in silly play. Your youth was passed in vain, for you did not know your Lord; Wake, wake! See! your bed is empty: He left you in the night. Kabîr says: "Only she wakes, whose heart is pierced with the arrow of His music."
