Din te pahar pahar te ghareeaã aav ghatai tan chheejai ॥ Kaal aheeree firai badhik jio kahahu kavan bidh keejai ॥1॥ So din aavan laagaa ॥ Maat pitaa bhaaee sut banitaa kahahu kooo hai kaa kaa ॥1॥ Rahaao ॥ Jab lag jot kaiaa meh baratai aapaa pasoo na boojhai ॥ Laalach karai jeevan pad kaaran lochan kachhoo na soojhai ॥2॥ Kahat Kabeer sunahu re praanee chhodahu man ke bharmaa ॥ Keval Naam japahu re praanee parahu ek kee sarnaã ॥3॥2॥
meaning: Day by day, hour by hour, life runs its course, and the body withers away. Death, like a hunter, a butcher, is on the prowl; tell me, what can we do? || 1 || That day is rapidly approaching. Mother, father, siblings, children and spouse — tell me, who belongs to whom? || 1 || Pause || As long as the light remains in the body, the beast does not understand himself. He acts in greed to maintain his life and status, and sees nothing with his eyes. || 2 || Says Kabeer, listen, O mortal: Renounce the doubts of your mind. Chant only the One Naam, the Name of the Lord, O mortal, and seek the Sanctuary of the One Lord. || 3 || 2 ||
