Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You never joined the Sangat; you got tangled up in false, busy work.
Like a dog, a pig or a crow you wander about, and soon you must get up and go.
A life can slip by in two ways.
Saadhsangat kabhoo nahee keenee — you never joined the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Rachi-o dhandhai jhooth — you got tangled in false, busy work.
Su-aan sookar baa-is jivai — like a dog, a pig, or a crow, you wander around. These animals roam, always sniffing for the next scrap. It is a picture of restlessness. Think of opening the fridge again and again, looking for something, not even hungry.
Bhatkat chaali-o ooth — wandering, you soon have to get up and go. The visit here is shorter than we think.
What are you always hungry for the next of?
