Don't be so proud of your possessions. Don't be so arrogant about your body. This body is like dust, like a dewdrop, blown away by the wind one day. A Bhakti folk song from Malwa, Madhya Pradesh.
Recording thanks to Vinod Eshwar and Santhos Nataraja in Bangalore.

मत कर माया को अहंकार, मत कर काया को अभिमान
काया गार से काची, जैसे ओस रा मोती
झोंका पवन का लग जाये, झपका पवन का लग जाये
काया धूल हो जासी

ऐसा सख्त था महाराज, जिनका मुल्कों में राज,
जिन घर झूलता हाथी, जैसे ओस रा मोती

भरया सिंधड़ा में तेल, जहां से रचयो है सब खेल,
जल रही दिया की बाती, जैसे ओस रा मोती 

खूट गया सिंधड़ा रो तेल, बिखर गया सब निज खेल,
बुझ गयी दिया की बाती, जैसे ओस रा मोती

झूठा मांई थारा बाप, झूंठा सकल परिवार,
झूठी कूंटता छाती, जैसे ओस रा मोती

आं-हां लाल में का लाल, तेरा कौन क्या हवाल,
जिन को जम ले जासी, जैसे ओस रा मोती

बोल्या भवानी नाथ, गुरुजी ने सर पे धरया हाथ
जिनसे मुक्ति हो जासी, जैसे ओस रा मोती

Mat Kar Maya Ko Ahankaar

आनन्द मंगल गावो मोरी सजनी,
भयो परभात सखी बीत गई रजनी।
उधरा निरन्तर फूली फुलवारी,
तहा मोरी मंसा करे रखवारी।।
वर्षी नाम अमी फल लागे,
पीवेंगे कोई संता स्वभागे।।
कहत कबीर गूँज की सैना,
सत्तगुरू शबद परख कर नैना।।

ānañd mañgal gāvo morī sajanī
bhayo parbhāt sakhī bīt gayī rajanī
udharā nirañtar phūli phulvārī
tahā morī nañsā karé rakhwārī
varśi nām amī phal lāgé
pīvéñgé koī sañtā swabhāgé
kahat Kabīr gūñj kī sèna
sattgurū shabad parakh kar nènā

Sing my friend, sing the bliss, sing in joy
The day has broken, the night departs.

In timeless breeze the garden blooms
A nurturing heart, desire grooms.

Nectar ripens in Name's shower
Those destined drink from the bower

Says Kabir the echo abounds
Beholding His Word the eye drowns

(Tr. Madan Gopal Singh)
