You fool, why are you not meditating on the Lord now?

ਨਰਕ ਘੋਰ ਮਹਿ ਉਰਧ ਤਪੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਨਿਮਖ ਨਿਮਖ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਂਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Narak Ghor Mehi Ouradhh Thap Karatha Nimakh Nimakh Gun Ganhee ||1|| Rehao ||

In the awful hell of the fire of the womb, you did penance, upside-down; each and every instant, you sang His Glorious Praises. ||1||Pause||

ਅਨਿਕ ਜਨਮ ਭ੍ਰਮਤੌ ਹੀ ਆਇਓ ਮਾਨਸ ਜਨਮੁ ਦੁਲਭਾਹੀ ॥

Anik Janam Bhramatha Hee Aeiou Manas Janam Dhulabhahee ||

You wandered through countless incarnations, until finally you attained this priceless human birth.

ਗਰਭ ਜੋਨਿ ਛੋਡਿ ਜਉ ਨਿਕਸਿਓ ਤਉ ਲਾਗੋ ਅਨ ਠਾਂਹੀ ॥੧॥

Garabh Jon Shhodd Jo Nikasiou Tho Lago An Thanhee ||1||

Leaving the womb, you were born, and when you came out, you became attached to other places. ||1||

You thrash the straw, but it has no wheat; running around and hurrying, you obtain only pain. ||2||

ਧਰਮ ਰਾਇ ਜਬ ਪਕਰਸਿ ਬਵਰੇ ਤਉ ਕਾਲ ਮੁਖਾ ਉਠਿ ਜਾਹੀ ॥੩॥

Dhharam Rae Jab Pakaras Bavarae Tho Kal Mukha Outh Jahee ||3||

And when the Righteous Judge of Dharma seizes you, O madman, you shall arise and depart with your face blackened. ||3||

ਸੋ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਲਿਖਾਂਹੀ ॥

He alone meets with God, whom God Himself meets, by such pre-ordained destiny written on his forehead.

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਨ੍‍ ਜਨ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਜੋ ਅਲਿਪ ਰਹੇ ਮਨ ਮਾਂਹੀ ॥੪॥੨॥੧੬॥
