re nar garabh ku(n)ddal jab aachhat uradh dhiaan liv laagaa ||
O man, when you were coiled in the cradle of the womb, upside-down, you were absorbed in meditation.
ਮਿਰਤਕ ਪਿੰਡਿ ਪਦ ਮਦ ਨਾ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਏਕੁ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਸੁ ਨਾਗਾ ॥
mritak pi(n)dd padh madh naa ahinis ek agiaan su naagaa ||
You took no pride in your perishable body; night and day were all the same to you-you lived unknowing, in the silence of the void.

chet raam naahee jam pur jaahigaa jan bicharai anaraadhaa ||1|| rahaau ||
Think of the Lord, or else you shall be led to the City of Death. Why are you wandering around, out of control? ||1||Pause||

baal binodh chi(n)dh ras laagaa khin khin moh biaapai ||
You play like a child, craving sweets; moment by moment, you become more entangled in emotional attachment.
ਰਸੁ ਮਿਸੁ ਮੇਧੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਬਿਖੁ ਚਾਖੀ ਤਉ ਪੰਚ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਸੰਤਾਪੈ ॥
ras mis medh a(n)mrit bikh chaakhee tau pa(n)ch pragaT sa(n)taapai ||
Tasting good and bad, you eat nectar and then poison, and then the five passions appear and torture you.

aunamat kaam mahaa bikh bhoolai paap pu(n)n na pachhaaniaa ||
Drunk with sexual desire and other great sins, you go astray, and do not distinguish between vice and virtue.
ਸੁਤ ਸੰਪਤਿ ਦੇਖਿ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਗਰਬਿਆ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤੇ ਖੋਇਆ ॥
sut sa(n)pat dhekh ih man garabiaa raam ridhai te khoiaa ||
Gazing upon your children and your property, your mind is proud and arrogant; you cast out the Lord from your heart.
ਅਵਰ ਮਰਤ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਨੁ ਤੋਲੇ ਤਉ ਭਗ ਮੁਖਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਵਿਗੋਇਆ ॥੩॥
avar marat maiaa man tole tau bhag mukh janam vigoiaa ||3||
When others die, you measure your own wealth in your mind; you waste your life in the pleasures of the mouth and sexual organs. ||3||
ਪੁੰਡਰ ਕੇਸ ਕੁਸਮ ਤੇ ਧਉਲੇ ਸਪਤ ਪਾਤਾਲ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ॥
pu(n)ddar kes kusam te dhaule sapat paataal kee baanee ||
Your hair is whiter than the jasmine flower, and your voice has grown feeble, as if it comes from the seventh underworld.
ਲੋਚਨ ਸ੍ਰਮਹਿ ਬੁਧਿ ਬਲ ਨਾਠੀ ਤਾ ਕਾਮੁ ਪਵਸਿ ਮਾਧਾਣੀ ॥
lochan srameh budh bal naaThee taa kaam pavas maadhaanee ||
Your eyes water, and your intellect and strength have left you; but still, your sexual desire churns and drives you on.
ਤਾ ਤੇ ਬਿਖੈ ਭਈ ਮਤਿ ਪਾਵਸਿ ਕਾਇਆ ਕਮਲੁ ਕੁਮਲਾਣਾ ॥
taa te bikhai bhiee mat paavas kaiaa kamal kumalaanaa ||
And so, your intellect has dried up through corruption, and the lotus flower of your body has wilted and withered.
ਅਵਗਤਿ ਬਾਣਿ ਛੋਡਿ ਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਮੰਡਲਿ ਤਉ ਪਾਛੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਣਾ ॥੪॥

nikuTee dheh dhekh dhun upajai maan karat nahee boojhai ||
Gazing upon the tiny bodies of your children, love has welled up within your heart; you are proud of them, but you do not understand.

laalach karai jeevan padh kaaran lochan kachhoo na soojhai ||
You long for the dignity of a long life, but your eyes can no longer see anything.

thaakaa tej uddiaa man pa(n)khee ghar aa(n)gan na sukhaiee ||
Your light has gone out, and the bird of your mind has flown away; you are no longer welcome in your own home and courtyard.
