Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: keep calling "Kayso, Kayso" — the name of the Lord with beautiful hair — and do not sleep unaware.
Calling out night and day, one day the Lord will hear your call.
Keep calling to the One, night and day.
Keep calling to the One without dozing off, and one day your call will be heard.
Kayso is a name for the Lord, "the One with beautiful hair." Na so-ee-ai asaar: do not sleep carelessly. Raat divas kay kooknay: calling out night and day. Kabhoo kay sunai pukaar: someday the call is heard.
