ਫਿਰਤ ਫਿਰਤ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਜੁਗ ਹਾਰਿਓ ਮਾਨਸ ਦੇਹ ਲਹੀ ॥
firat firat bahutay jug haari-o maanas dayh lahee.
Wandering, wandering around for so many ages, he has grown weary, and finally, he obtained this human body.
ਨਾਨਕ ਕਹਤ ਮਿਲਨ ਕੀ ਬਰੀਆ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਕਹਾ ਨਹੀ ॥੨॥੨॥
naanak kahat milan kee baree-aa simrat kahaa nahee. ||2||2||
Says Nanak, this is the opportunity to meet the Lord; why don't you remember Him in meditation? ||2||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
After a long, long journey, here you are, alive as a human being — what a rare gift that is.
This is your chance to meet the One, so why wait? Keep it in mind starting now.
Being alive right now is a rare and precious chance.
firat firat bahutay jug haario — wandering through many ages, grown weary; maanas dayh lahee — obtained the human body; milan kee baree-aa — the chance to meet. The preciousness of a human life as an opportunity.
