जाग पियारी, अब का सोवै, रैन गई दिन काहे को खोवै। जिन जागा तिन माणिक पाया, तैं बौरी सब सोय गँवाया। पिय तेरे चतुर तू मूरख नारी, कबहुँ न पिय की सेज सँवारी। तैं बौरी बौरापन कीन्ही, भरजोबन पिय अपनो न चीन्हा। जाग देख पिय सेज न तेरे, तोहि छाड़ि उठ गये सबेरे। कहै कबीर सोई जन जागे, शब्द बाण उर अंतर लागे।।

O friend, awake, and sleep no more! The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also? Others, who have wakened, have received jewels; O foolish woman! you have lost all whilst you slept. Your lover is wise, and you are foolish, O woman! You never prepared the bed of your husband: O mad one! you passed your time in silly play. Your youth was passed in vain, for you did not know your Lord; Wake, wake! See! your bed is empty: He left you in the night. Kabir says: “Only she wakes, whose heart is pierced with the arrow of His music.”
