- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Friend, wake up! Why do you go on sleeping? The night is over -- do you want to lose the day the same way? Other women who managed to get up early have already found an elephant or a jewel.... So much was lost already while you slept... And that was so unnecessary!
- The one who loves you understood but you did not. You forgot to make a place in your bed next to you. Instead you spent your life playing. In your twenties you did not grow because you did not know who your lord was. Wake up! Wake up! There's no one in your bed -- he left you during the long night.
- Kabir says: The only woman awake is the woman who has heard the flute!
- I played for ten years with the girls my own age but now I am suddenly in fear. I am on the way up some stairs -- they are high. Yet I have to give up my fears if I want to take part in this love.
- I have to let go the protective clothes and meet him with the whole length of my body. My eyes will have to be the love-candles this time.
- Kabir says: Men and women in love will understand this poem. If what you feel for the holy one is not desire then what's the use of dressing with such care and spending so much time making your eyelids dark?
- Friend wake up! Wake up!
