Hum pardesi panchhi baba - Pt. Kumar Gandharva

A rarely heard nirguni bhajan of Kabir - by Kumarji
हम परदेसी पंछी बाबा, अणी देसरा नाही
अणी देस रा लोग अचेता पल पल पार पछ्ताई भाई संतो
मुख बिन गाना, पग बिन चलना, बिन पंख उड जाई हो
बिना मोह की सुरत हमारी, अनहद मे रम जाई हो
छाया बैठू अगनी व्यापे धूप अधिक सितलाई हो
छाया धूप से सतगुरु न्यारा, मै सतगुरु के भाई
आठो पहर अडक रहे आसन, कदे न उतरे शाही
मन पवन दोनो नही पहुंचे, उन्ही देस के माही
निरगुण रूप है मेरे दाता, सरगुण नाम धराई
कहे कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, साहब है घट माही

HUM PARDESI PANCHHI BABA, ANNI DESRAA NAAHI......KABIR..
This is a very insightful and philosophical Bhajan of Kabir..I will try to put here what I understand by these lines. These verses are better understood in the light of Yoga Sutras. Here Kabir is also refering to the characteristics of a real Yogi. This nirguna song has been beautifully sung by Kumar Gandharva. Kumar Gandharva does not belong to any Gharana or school . He sings pure Shastriya Sangeet in his own and unique style.
" Hum Pardesi Panchhi Baba
Anni desaraa naahi.
Anni desaraa log acheta
pal pal par pachhtaai...
Chhaya baithoon agani vyape,
dhoop adhik sitlaai ho..
Mukh bin gaana, pag bin chalana,
binaa pankh udd jaai ho..
Nirgun roop hain meray daata,
sargun naam dharaai ho..
Man pavan dono nahi pahunche
unhi des ke maahi ho..
Aathau pahar adak rahe aasan
kadhe na utare shahi ho..
Kahe Kabir suno bhai sadho,
sahib hain ghat maahi ho..
(Dear , I am a bird from a different land
And in this land ,I am an alien.
And in this alien land ,
Where I am at the moment ,
the people repent every moment,
Not so in the land to which I belong.
In the land to which I belong,
One can sing without mouth,
walk without feet,
and fly without wings.
In the land to which I belong,
if you sit in the shade,
You can feel heat of the fire ,
And in the sun,
you experience coolness.
My lord is formless,
Don't be misled, even for a moment
by his many names
to assumevthat he has any form or shape
I belong to a land to which
even the waves of the mind can not reach ,
In that land the power of the winds is of no use.
In my land,all the time ,
I remain seated and Immoveable in bliss.
Who can unseat me from that princely seat ?
And says Kabir, listen O' learned men ,
the supreme Lord resides in your heart, alone .
Look for his abode within...
