ઘસડાઈ વિકારે જગમાં ફર્યો ખૂબ તું,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
ભરાઈ ક્રોધે, મેળવ્યા તો તે ઝઘડા,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
ડૂબી કામમાં, ખોઈ તે તો જિંદગી,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
લપટાઈ લોભે, ભૂલ્યો તું માણસાઇ,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
લલચાઈ મોહમાં, ભૂલ્યો તું તો સચ્ચાઈ,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
છકીને મદમાં, રહ્યો સદા તું બ્હેકી,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
જલીને ઇર્ષ્યામાં, હોળી હૈયે તો સળગી,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
સુકાઈ હૈયે જ્યાં તો દયા, ક્ષમા ભાગી ત્યાંથી,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
ડૂબીને ક્રૂરતામાં, માનવતાને તેં તો રહેંસી,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
જગમાં ફરી ફરી, ખોઈ જિંદગી, ના મેળવ્યું કંઈ,
આખર તો તેં મેળવ્યું શું, ખોયું શું
સદ્દગુરુ દેવેન્દ્ર ઘીયા (કાકા)
Lyrics in English
ghasadai vikare jag maa pharyo khub tum,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
bharai krodhe, melavya to te jaghada,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
dubi kamamam, khoi te to jindagi,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
lapatai lobhe, bhulyo tu manasai,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
lalachai mohamam, bhulyo tu to sachchai,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
chhakine madamam, rahyo saad tu bheki,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
jaline irshyamam, holi haiye to salagi,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
sukaai haiye jya to daya, kshama bhagi tyanthi,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
dubine kruratamam, manavatane te to rahensi,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
jag maa phari phari, khoi jindagi, na melavyum kami,
akhara to te melavyum shum, khoyum shu
Explanation in English
In this Gujarati bhajan, Shri Devendra Ghia, fondly called Kaka, directs one to introspect about their inherent values and qualities and implications of it.
He is saying...
Dragging your life with your shortcomings, you wander a lot,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Filled with anger, you got involved in many fights,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Drowning in desires, you actually lost your life,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Wrapped in greed, you forgot humanity,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Swept in temptation, you forgot the truth,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Filled with ego, you got mislead,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Burning in jealousy, you created fire in your heart,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Since, kindness dried in your heart, forgiveness disappeared from there,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Buried in cruelty, you killed humanity in you,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Wandering in this world, you lost your life,
In the end what did you achieve and what did you lose.
Kaka is directing to think about all the and many disorders like greed, jealousy, desires, anger... in us and where it is leading us. We are no where in the vicinity of Godliness. Unless we make sincere efforts to change ourselves first, we are surely not reaching anywhere near spiritual path., forget the growth.
