This human life is rare and precious — make it bear fruit.
Then you will not be lost when you go before the One.
Here and beyond, you will receive honor and glory.
At the very last moment, the One will save you.
This life is rare and precious — make it bear fruit.
Dulabh dayh savaar — the hard-to-obtain human body, so make it fruitful. Ant kee baylaa la-ay chhadaa-ee: at the final moment, the One frees you.
