(Jo) what (toon) you (jaanah-i) consider your (apney) own (kaajai = task) use forever, (so) that will (na) not (chaalai) go with you (tasooa) a bit, on death.

You (aaia) were born (naag) naked and (sidhaasi) shall go naked. If you indulge in vices, you will be (grasuaa) grabbed by (kaal = death) the messengers of death and make you (pheyr-i = in circles, phirio = go around) keep going in cycles of births and deaths. 1.

The transitory pleasures of the world-play are like (leela = play) the phenomenon of the (kasumbh) safflower – which has an attractive bright color but fades fast – (peykh-i peykh-i) seeing them you remain (raach-i maach-i) engrossed in them and are (hasua = laughing) happy (lau) with (tinhoon) them only.

Remember, your (ddor = string – of breaths) life span is (chheejat = getting frayed/weakened) getting shortened every (dinas-u) day (ar-u) and (raini) night, but you have (na) not (keeno) done (kachhooa) anything (ko) for (jeea) the soul – which has to account for deeds. 2.

(Karat karat = doing) carrying on (iv) like this (hi) only, one (birdhaano) gets old, (ukte) the thinking faculties are (haario) lost and (tan-u) the body (kheenasua) weakened.

But the way the (mohini) attractive/lures of (un-i = that) world-play (mohio) enticed (baala) in youth, (ruch) that tendency is (naahi) not (ghattai) reduced/weaken (chasua) a bit. 3.

(Sant-i) the guru (dikhaaio) showed the (maarag-u) path (ko) to (prabh) the Almighty, and (drirri) imparted firm commitment to praise/emulate (jasua) virtues of (har) the Almighty (bhagat-i) with dedication, says fifth Nanak. 4. 6. 127.
