Aakhar vele jad eh banda is duniyan noon chhorhega; Jad duniyan de rishte naate yam da raja torhega. Dhan joban te husan jawani naal kise vi jana nahin; Naam di daulat bajhon tere kamm kise vi aana nahin. Kam nahin aauni akal syaanap na chalna chaturayiyan ne; Ret de utte mahal bana ke jhoothiyan aasan laayiyan ne. Raasaan jis nun samjhi baithain raasaan sabh parayiyan ne; Aakhar vele kamm nahin aauna karam dharam changiyaayiyan ne. Jo vi dubba naam sarovar oh banda tar javega; Kahe avtar suno re santon muh ujla kar javega. |

When man shall depart from this world at last; When The king of Death shall snap all his relations with the world; At that appointed time, O' man, the riches, youth and beauty shall not go with you; Except the treasure of Divine Name nothing, else shall be of any avail to you. Neither your intelligence nor wisdom shall be of any avail; You are simply building castles on sand and pinning false hopes. The assets which you are depending upon are actually not your own; Rites, rituals, and (so called) noble acts shall not be of any use at last. Whosoever dives deep into the reservoir of Divine Name shall attain salvation; Avtar says, listen O' saints, such a person shall depart from the world without a blot on his face. |
