Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
If you don't sing to the One now, my brother, then when will you?
When the end comes, you won't be able to sing.
Whatever you mean to do, now is the time to do it.
Otherwise you will be sorry afterwards, and you won't be carried across to the other shore.
Now is the time for what matters most; later may not come.
Ab na bhajas bhajas kab bhaa-ee: if you don't sing now, brother, when will you? Aavai ant: when the end comes, the chance is gone. Jo kichh karahi so-ee ab saar: whatever you will do, do it now. Fir pachhutaahu na paavhu paar: otherwise you will be sorry, and you won't cross over, like someone who waits too long and watches the last boat leave the shore. The urgency is the urgency of someone who cares: today is the day.
Is there something good you keep meaning to do “later”? What if you started a little of it today?
