This world was created

But it shall not last forever

People fall in love for Maya and vice

But forget the true meaning of this life

Held in the grip of death

Wearing away night and day

Deluded by doubt

Wasting this precious life

Forgetting the Lord,

We are reborn into the womb over and over

We walk constantly

With the noose of death hanging over us

By praising ourselves

The ego grows and empowers us

We do not find God within ourselves

Instead compromise ourselves with Maya

We wander in desire and anger

And attached to possessiveness

We have forgotten the way

We try to act the part

And cover our flaws

But it does no good

Without understanding

We are drowning in death

You fool

Being engrossed in worldly affairs

We will never be able to cross the terrifying world ocean

Once we become known to the Guru

We are crossed over in a heartbeat

Our turn has come

But we have forgotten the Light

Restrain the wandering mind, you fool

And all the sins will be forgiven

Waheguru, Your limits are unknown

Those who love the Lord

Only they understand the Lord
