Gaafal theea genvaar banda tun khohen vetho samon suhano;
Gaafal theea genvaar banda tun disin na samjhi jagat fasaano. Gaafal theea genvaar banda tun tun koorho jhootho Karin bahano; Gaafal theea genvaar banda tun jaanin keen asal aashiyaano. Hath aayal hin samen sandhog tun karad na jaane bani genvaar; Bina guru avtar gyaan je tuhanjo jag men jamman bekar. |

O' vulgar man, in ignorance you are sitting idle and wasting your pleasant time;
O' vulgar man, in ignorance you are neither seeing nor understanding the world drama. O' vulgar man, in ignorance you are making false pretexts; O' vulgar man, in ignorance why don't you (try to) know your real nest (abode)? O' vulgar man, you do not know how to make use of this opportunity? Avtar says, without receiving divine knowledge from the True Master, the very taking birth in this world by you is in vain. |
Meaning
This verse explains the importance of human birth, i.e. to know God. O' man, in ignorance you are sitting idle and wasting your important time. O' man, in ignorance you are neither seeing nor understanding the world drama. O' man, in ignorance you are making false excuses. O' man, in ignorance you are not able to see your real home. O' man, you do not know how to make use of this opportunity (of having being born as a human being)? Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says, without receiving divine knowledge from the True Master, your very birth as a human being is aimless.
