भजन: सजन तेरी उमरन बीत रही
राग पहाड़ी ताल केरवा
सजन तेरी उमरन बीत रही
कैसे धरे मन धीर ।।टेक।।
दिन-दिन, घड़ी-घड़ी, पल-पल जावे
जिमि अंजलि का नीर।।१।।
गया बगत फिर हाथ न आवे
लाख करो तदबीर।।२।।
मोक्ष दुवार मिली यह काया
करले जतन नरवीर।।३।।
ब्रह्मानंद सुमिर जगदीश्वर
मिटे सकल भव पीर।।४।।
Bhajan lyrics by Swami Brmhanandji maharaj
Title: Sajan teri umarn beet rahi
Raag Pahadi taal Kervah
Sajan teri umaran beet rahi
Kaise dhare man dheer ||Re||
Din-Din, Ghadi-Ghadi, Pal-Pal jave
Jimi anjuri ka neer||1||
Gaya bagat fir hath n aave
Lakh karo tadbeer ||2||
Mokhsa duvar mili ye kaya
Karle jatan narveer ||3||
Bramhanand sumir jagdishwar
Mite sakal bhav peer||4||
Semantics:
Oh, dear soul! Your age is fleeting,
Yet, how do you maintain such patience within?
Day by day, hour by hour, second by second, life ebbs away,
As water slips through your fingers.
No matter how many efforts you undertake,
Lost time cannot be regained.
The body is the gateway to liberation,
Oh, courageous one! Strive earnestly for salvation.
Oh, Brahmanand! Contemplate the Lord,
To transcend worldly sufferings.
Connotations:
Swamiji's verse carries a profound message, emphasizing the rarity and significance of human existence. He underscores that only humans possess the wisdom to discern between right and wrong. This life, as a human, is pivotal, presenting a precious opportunity for all of us. Therefore, we must earnestly strive for salvation. Unlike other beings, only humans can attain this spiritual liberation. Understanding the preciousness of time and life, we must refrain from squandering it. Instead, we should dedicate ourselves to serving the divine and chanting the holy names of the Lord, for it is only through the grace of the divine that we can transcend the sufferings of the material world.
