[Intro - Harmonium and Tanpura]
[ Verse 1 ]
छुपाना भी नहीं आता, जताना भी नहीं आता।
chhupana bhi nahin aata, jatana bhi nahin aata.
I don't know how to hide it, nor do I know how to express it.
मैं पुरुष हूँ शुद्ध-चेतन, बताना भी नहीं आता॥
main purush hoon shuddh-chetan, batana bhi nahin aata.
I am Purusha, pure consciousness, but I don't even know how to explain it.
प्रकृति के बंधनों में, ये चित्त ऐसा उलझा है।
prakriti ke bandhanon mein, ye chitt aisa uljha hai.
In the bonds of Prakriti, this mind is so entangled,
कि खुद का ही सहज स्वरूप, पाना भी नहीं आता॥
ki khud ka hi sahaj swaroop, pana bhi nahin aata.
That I don't even know how to attain my own natural state.
[ Verse 2 ]
बुद्धि के इस पटल पर मैं, अहंकार लिखता मिटाता हूँ।
buddhi ke is patal par main, ahankaar likhta mitata hoon.
On this screen of intellect, I write and erase ego.
तत्वों के इस ताने-बाने में, मैं खुद को भूल जाता हूँ॥
tattvon ke is taane-baane mein, main khud ko bhool jata hoon.
In this weave of elements, I forget myself.
भीतर विवेक की ज्योति है, पर अज्ञान की चादर है।
bhitar vivek ki jyoti hai, par agyaan ki chadar hai.
Inside, there is the light of discernment, but there is a veil of ignorance.
द्रष्टा हूँ मैं इस सृष्टि का, दिखाना ही नहीं आता॥
drashta hoon main is srishti ka, dikhana hi nahin aata.
I am the seer of this creation, but I don't know how to show it.
[ Chorus ]
मैं पुरुष हूँ शुद्ध-चेतन, बताना भी नहीं आता॥
main purush hoon shuddh-chetan, batana bhi nahin aata.
I am Purusha, pure consciousness, but I don't even know how to explain it.
[ Verse 3 ]
ये मन की जो लहरें हैं, इन्हें कैसे रोकूँ मैं?
ye man ki jo lahren hain, inhen kaise rokun main?
These waves of the mind, how do I stop them?
राग-द्वेष के इस भँवर में, कहीं खुद को खो न दूँ मैं॥
raag-dwesh ke is bhanvar mein, kahin khud ko kho na doon main.
In this whirlpool of attachment and aversion, lest I lose myself.
यम-नियम की डगर कठिन है, चलना भी नहीं आता।
yam-niyam ki dagar kathin hai, chalna bhi nahin aata.
The path of Yama-Niyama is difficult, I don't even know how to walk it.
साँसों की इस डोर से मन को, बाँधना भी नहीं आता॥
saanson ki is dor se man ko, baandhna bhi nahin aata.
I don't even know how to bind the mind with this thread of breaths.
[ Verse 4 - Final ]
चोरी-चोरी अंतर्मन में, उस ईश्वर को निहारा करूँ।
chori-chori antarmann mein, us ishwar ko nihara karoon.
Secretly, in my inner self, I gaze upon that God.
प्रत्याहार और धारणा से, ध्येय का ध्यान लगाया करूँ॥
pratyahaar aur dharana se, dhyey ka dhyaan lagaya karoon.
Through Pratyahara and Dharana, I try to focus on the goal.
कितना चंचल है यह मन मेरा, समाधि में टिकना नहीं आता।
kitna chanchal hai yah man mera, samadhi mein tikna nahin aata.
How restless is this mind of mine, it doesn't know how to stay in Samadhi.
प्रकृति से अलग होकर मुझे, कैवल्य पाना भी नहीं आता॥
prakriti se alag hokar mujhe, kaivalya pana bhi nahin aata.
Separated from Prakriti, I don't even know how to attain Kaivalya.
[ Outro ]
छुपाना भी नहीं आता, जताना भी नहीं आता।
chhupana bhi nahin aata, jatana bhi nahin aata.
I don't know how to hide it, nor do I know how to express it.
मैं पुरुष हूँ शुद्ध-चेतन, बताना भी नहीं आता॥
main purush hoon shuddh-chetan, batana bhi nahin aata.
I am Purusha, pure consciousness, but I don't even know how to explain it.
