Kabir Das’ philosophy & ideology was ahead of its time & remains valid for life as it is today. Swanand Kirkire in fact refers to Kabir as the rockstar of Indian music and has always wanted to do a song that would talk about these age-old gems in a contemporary manner.
This song is Kabir in philosophy but has a very modern edge. It talks about how the human soul is plagued with evils like greed, fear, resentment and jealousy. But when these feelings get the better of you, one should just give the Almighty a missed call and the connection would be instant! This haunting melody is Swanand’s homage to Kabir.

Lyrics:
Sab par teri saahebi, tujh par sahib nay
Nirakaar nirgun tuhi, aur sakal bharmay
Hoye amaar kankher koloshi
Gayche jole te bhashi
Hoye amaar kankher koloshi
Gayche jole te bhashi
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giyaa
Hey panch tatva ka bana pinjra, pinjre mein maina
Panch lootere ghaat lagaye ghabraye maina
Hey panch tatva ka bana pinjra, pinjre mein maina
Panch lootere ghaat lagaye ghabraye maina
Baja le anhad shunnya ke sannate mein
Dhadkan ki tirtaal
Simarle sahebji ka nam ke duniya
Maya ka janjal
Sahib mera ek rakhwala re
Sahib mera deen dayala re
Sahib mere tan pe dushala re
Sahib mere tan main ujala re
Panch tatva ka bana pinjra, pinjre mein maina
Panch lootere ghaat lagaye ghabraye maina
Baja le anhad shunnya ke sannate mein
Dhadkan ki tirtaal
Simarle sahebji ka nam ke duniya
Maya ka janjal
Sahib mera ek rakhwala re
Sahib mera deen dayala re
Sahib mere tan pe dushala re
Sahib mere tan main ujala re
Sahib tere ghat bheetar hi dhooni ramaye baitha sadhu
Sahib tera antarman na roop rang nirguniya saadhu
O majhi re, oh majhi
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya
Sahib tere ghat bheetar hi dhooni ramaye baitha sadhu
Sahib tera antarman na roop rang nirguniya saadhu
Sahib nahi taat maat na bandhu sakha sakhi saiyaan saadhu
Sahib nahin jaat paat na dharm kaaj kirtaniya saadhu
Sahib mera nirmal jal jaisa
Sahib mera behti pawan jaisa
Sahib mera neel gagan jaisa
Sahib mera bhola man jaisa
Uss pe kyun jhooth fareb ka
Maas chadhaye rang rang ki khal
Aur phir moh maya ke mele mein jaa naacha vikat kankal
Sahib mera ek rakhwala re
Sahib mera deen dayala re
Sahib mere tan pe dushala re
Sahib mere tan main ujala re
Sahib koi sur na taal bas naad naad anhadiya saadhu
Sahib toh hai prem ka tika byopari kanpatiya saadhu
O majhi re, oh majhi re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya re
Majhi re tor noukar dhewla giya
Sahib koi sur na taal bas naad naad anhadiya saadhu
Sahib toh hai prem patti ka vyopari kanpatiya saadhu
Sahib meri meera sur kabeera aur bullehshah saadhu
Sahib toh hai paigambar nanak Buddha aur isa saadhu
Sahib mera gunje azzano mein
Shabad tan khul jaye taano main
Saheb mera shoon sifar jaisa
Sahib mera jaisa main waisa
Maina tu pankh pasar ke udd ja duniya bhawsagar ke par
Yahan pe bhoot prem ki nagri hai mere saheb ki sarkar
Sahib mera ek rakhwala re
Sahib mera deen dayala re
Sahib mere tan pe dushala re
Sahib mere tan main ujala re
Panch tatva ka bana pinjra, pinjre mein maina
Panch lootere ghaat lagaye ghabraye maina
Baja le anhad shunnya ke sannate mein
Dhadkan ki tirtaal
Simarle sahebji ka nam ke duniya

Sahib mere tan main ujala re
Sahib mera ek rakhwala re
Sahib mera deen dayala re
Sahib mere tan pe dushala re
Sahib mere tan main ujala re
Sab par teri saahebi, tujh par sahib nay
Nirakaar nirgun tuhi, aur sakal bharmay
