ਚੇਤਿ ਅਚੇਤ ਮੂੜ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਬਾਜੇ ਅਨਹਦ ਬਾਜਾ ॥
chayt achayt moorh man mayray baajay anhad baajaa.
Remember Him, O my thoughtless and foolish mind, and the unstruck melody of the sound current will resonate and resound.
ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਸੰਸਾ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਚੂਕੋ ਧ੍ਰੂ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦ ਨਿਵਾਜਾ ॥੨॥੫॥
kahi kabeer sansaa bharam chooko Dharoo par-hilaad nivaajaa. ||2||5||
Says Kabir, my skepticism and doubt have been dispelled; the Lord has exalted me, as He did Dhroo and Prahlaad. ||2||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So remember, O forgetful heart of mine — and a music you did not know was there begins to sound, a song with no instrument, playing deep inside.
Kabir says: my doubts have quietly cleared. The One that has always lifted up those who trust it has lifted me too.
Turn inward and you will hear a music that was always playing.
chayt achayt moorh man — "O thoughtless mind," a gentle word to your own forgetful heart. anhad baajaa — the anhad (unstruck) inner melody. sansaa bharam chooko — doubt dispelled. Dhroo prahlaad nivaajaa — Dhruv and Prahlaad, Puranic child-devotees exalted by grace, the humble lifted up.
