Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As long as breath after breath moves within you, hurry, and take shelter with the One.
Nanak prays: be kind, be kind to me, so that I may wash the feet of the holy.
While you have breath, turn to the One now.
Jab lag saas: as long as there is breath. Saran pareejai: take shelter with the One. The push is gentle: now is the time.
Think of a sunny afternoon. You do not save the playing for tomorrow. You go out while the light is here.
Then comes the prayer: kirpaa kirpaa kar Dhaarahu, please shower kindness. Mai saaDhoo charan pakheejai: so that I may wash the feet of the holy, and humbly serve good people. It is a prayer to spend the breath we have on what matters.
What good thing would you most like to spend your days on?
