song was written 600 yrs ago by Saint Kabir Das. He was a mystic poet and a musician and was one of the important saint of Hinduism and also considered a Sufi by Muslims. Thus such deep meaning.
MEANING:-
Don’t be deluded by Maaya, don’t take pride in the body
Its as fragile as clay, like a drop of dew
A blast of wind, just a little gust
And the body will turn to dust!
There was a stern king, famed among nations
Elephants swayed in his court, Like a drop of dew
The clay lamp was filled with oil,
From it this play unfurled
The light burns in the lamp, Like a drop of dew.
The clay lamp ran out of oil, the play scattered
The light went out in the lamp, like a drop of dew
Oh you dear one, precious and beloved, how will you feel when Death takes you away?
Death will take you away , like a drop of dew
Mother father - illusion. Family ties - illusion
Mourning, beating your chest - illusion,
like a drop of dew
Says Bhavani Nath -
My guru laid his hand on my head
Liberation is mine, Like a drop of dew
