# 26 He Ri Sakhi Batlaye mujhe

हे री सखी बतलाय मुझे 
ताल- ग़ज़ल कवाली 

हे री सखी बतलाय मुझे 
पिया के मन-भावन की बतियाँ ।। टेक।।  

गुणहीन मलिन शरीर मेरा, कुछ हार सिंगार 
किया भी नहीं । नहि जानू मैं प्रेम की बात कोई   
मेरी कांपत है डर से छतियाँ ।।१।।

पिया अंदर महल विराज रहे,  घर काजन मे अटकाय  
रही । नहिं एक घड़ी पल संग किया 
विरथा सब बीत गयी रतियाँ ।।२।। 

पिया सोवत ऊंची अटारिन में, जहाँ जीव  
परिंद को गंम नहीं । किस मारग होय के जाय  
मिलूं किस भाँत बनाय लिखूँ पतियाँ ।।३।। 

निज स्वारथ का संसार सभी, किससे अब   
प्रीत करूँ मन में । ब्रह्मानंद पिया हितकार मेरा  
जग भीतर और नहीं गतियाँ ।।४।।

He ri sakhi batlay mujhe
Beat: Gazal kavali

He ri sakhi batlaay mujhe 
Piya k man bhawan ki batiya ||repeat||

Gunheen maleen sharir mera 
Kuch haar singar kiya bhi nahi  
Nahi janu main prem ki baat koi  
Meri kanpat hai dar se chhatiyan ||1|| 

Piya andar mahal viraj rahe 
Ghar kajan me atkaay rahi  
Nahi ek ghadi pal sang kiya  
Virtha sab beet gayi ratiyan. ||2|| 

Piya sovat  oonchi  atarin me. 
Jaha jeev parind ko gamm nahi  
Kis marag hoy k jaay miloon 
Kis bhaant banay likhun patiyan ||3|| 

Nij swarath ka sansar sabhi. 
Kis se ab preet karu mann me  
Bramhanand piya hitkaar mera. 
Jag bheetar aur nahi gatiyan  ||4|| 

Word Meaning

Sakhi = friend (of female) ;  batlaay = tell ; piya = beloved  
Man bhawan = pleasing/ favorite ; batiyaan= Talks  
Gunheen = meritless ; malin = dirty ;.
Haar-singar = ornamentation - make up; 
kanpat= palpitate ; chhatiyan = bossoms / heart

Virtha = in vain ;  Atari = tower building ; marag = path

Semantics:

Oh, my friend, please tell me, what are my beloved’s favorite words?

My body is unclean, devoid of grace; I wear no ornament, nor makeup on my face.

I do not know the language of love, my heart trembles with fear.

Alas! I was absorbed in household chores, while my sweetheart waited within the palace.

Not a moment did I spend with my beloved, and the nights slipped away in vain.

My dear one sleeps in a lofty tower, where no creature or bird can reach.

How can I ever meet him? How can I send him a message?

Swami Brahmanand says, "This world is filled with selfishness; whom should I love but the Divine?"

My beloved is my only refuge; there is no other way but to worship God.

Connotation: 
   
               Swamiji wishes for someone to show him how to allure his beloved, the Divine, who is God. He reflects on his sins, realizing that he never remembered God, wasting his time in bliss and luxury.

He acknowledges that God is far beyond this world, unreachable by those who feel separate from Him.

Ultimately, Swamiji concludes that the world is full of selfishness, and the most beneficial path is to love and worship God. Brahmaanand ji says there is no other way but this.

झूठ सब जगत पसारा

राग: मारवाड़ी

झूठ सब जगत पसारा सोच समझ नर देख बिचारा

बड़े बड़े राजा अरु रानी देश ख़ज़ाने हुकुम दिवानी
भूमि में मिल गया रह्या नही एक इशारा रे ।।१।।

अपनी गाय बजाय गए जग में दिन चारा रे ।।३।।
धन जोवन गुण थिर नहि कोई ब्रह्मानंद नाश सब
होई परमेश्वर का नाम सुमर सबसे हो न्यारा रे ।।४।।

Jhuth sab jagat pasara
Raag: Marwari
Jhuth sab jagat pasara soch samajh nar dekh bichara
Moorakh garv kare man me harinam nisaar re || repeat||

Semantics:
      Swami Brahmanandji's bhajan echoes: "O human! Lies are scattered everywhere in this world. O human! Ponder, perceive, and ponder again.

If, by forsaking the Holy name of God, pride swells within you, it is but folly.

Grand kingdoms, riches, and rulers all merged into the earth when death arrives, leaving no trace behind.

Mightier warriors than Arjuna, Bheem, and Karna once walked this earth, their battle cries echoing, yet they succumbed to the relentless grasp of Time, meeting their end.

Scholars and sages graced this world, alongside the talented and beautiful, each striving to shape their own destinies, yet their days are fleeting.

Brahmaanand Ji declares: Money, youth, and talent are fleeting in this world, all subject to ruin. Only the Divine and the Holy name of God reign supreme, eternal and immortal. Thus, let every soul chant the Lord's Holy name."

Connotation.
    Swami Brahmanand ji elucidates the transient nature of the world in this hymn, asserting its inherent falsehood due to its destructible nature.

Human attributes such as beauty, talent, wealth, health, strength, intelligence, bravery, and glory all fade away with the passing of human life. Therefore, anything impermanent cannot be deemed as truth.

Only the name of God endures as true. Swami Brahmanand ji urges us to seek refuge in God.
