Bhaven rab ey data jehrha sabhnan de naal rahenda ey; Pura satgur mil jaye jekar tan eh parda lehnda ey. Pal pal yaad karo is rab noon maan da bhanda choor karo; Simar simar ke ese rab noon chinta man di door karo. Sadh charan te rakh ke sir noon door dilon hankar karo; Lai avtar guru pag dhoorhi ag da sagar paar karo. |

O’man, the time once lost cannot be regained and you shall repent at last; You will bewail and cry when the Lord of Death shall dispatch his angels. None of your kith and kin will be of any awail; None of your close relatives will come to your rescue. The True Master alone will stand by you at the appointed day, and not your beautiful body; Avtar says, the Lord of Death cannot ask an account of deeds from a devotee of the True Master. |
Meaning
Time lost does not return, and there is no use regretting at the last moment, if you do not value the importance of time, before it is too late. When death stands at your doorstep, pleading or regretting will not help. All those whom you consider your colleagues and supporters will not be able to help you. Your friends and family will not be able to save you. Finally, only the True Master can rescue you and not these black or white people whom you know. Avtar says that Dharamraye, the so called deity of death, can’t question the devotee of the True Lord Master.
