Raam is in every Swan soul - Sakal hans me ram viraje - Lyrics, Music, Translation




Refrain:
Sakal hans me ram viraje
Arre, Ram bina koi dham nahin
Sab bharmand mein jyot ka vasa
(Har ghat me hai, jyot ka vasa) 
Ram ko sumiro duja nahin

Verses:
Teen gun par tej hamara
Panch tatva par jyot jale 
Jin ka ujala, chaudah lok me
Surat dor akaash chadhe

Nabhi kamal se parakh lena
Hriday kamal beech phire mani
Anhad baja, baje sheher mein
Bhramand par awaaz hui

Heera jo moti laal jawaharat
Prem padarath parkho yahin
Saancha moti sumar lena, 
Ram dhani se mhari dor lagi

Guru jan hoye to heri lo ghat mein
Bahar sheher mein bhatko mati 
Guru pratap Nanak sah ke varne,
Bhitar bole koi dujo nahin

Translation (by Linda Hess)

In every swan, resplendent Ram
resides. There's no abode
without Ram. Everywhere in the universe
lives the light. Remember Ram,
there's no other.

Radiance in the three qualities,
brilliance in the five elements.
One whose light shines
through fourteen worlds
climbs to the sky by the string
of awareness.

In the navel lotus, feel the presence,
in the heart lotus a jewel turns,
in the city an untouched instrument plays,
the sound resounds through the universe.

Diamonds, rubies, pearls,
a pile of jewels: discover here
the wealth of love.
Discerning the pure gem - a string
connects me to my master Ram

If you seek the guru, search in your body,
don't wander aimlessly in the city,
Nanak speaks of the guru's power:

it speaks within, there's no other.

  1. The swan here is about the breath.........not a literal swan. Hans is another word for your breath. Ram is in every breath....Sakal hans mein Ram viraje !!

    1. Nabhi Kamal is the location of the Manipoorka Chakra. Once the Nabhi kamal is awakened it leads to the discovery of gems in the heart - in this case is the Anahata chakra -> which triggers the Cosmic sound within and in the vast universe. Anahat baja is the cosmic sound of Om which manifests within once the Anahata chakra is activated
