Uth Jaag Musafir Bhor Bhaee
Ab raen kahan jo sowat hai
Awake, oh traveller, for morning has come,
 the night is no more that you sleep
Jo sowat hai vo khowat hai
the one who sleeps loses all
Jo Jagat hai so pavat hai
the one awake gets all


Lardakpan khel mein khoya, jawani neend bhar soya
my childhood I lost in play, youth in sleep

Budhapa daikh ke roya
in old age I saw all and cried

Jo sowat hai vo khowat hai
for the one who sleeps looses all
Jo Jagat hai so pavat hai
the one awake gains all

~ Kabir Das

Includes a girah to a couple of wonderful Farsi verses:


Subhay dam chun rukh namoodi, shud namaz e man qazaa
Thy face Thou showed in the morning, and my prayer was lost

Sajda kayy bashad rawa, chun aaftab ayad broo

how can a sajda be acceptable, once the sun shows its face
