Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It’s a quiet sadness to move through a whole life and never turn toward the One who was always near.
Even when gentle reminders called out, a heart can get so pulled toward passing things that it misses the treasure right in front of it.
ayt janam har na chayti-o — a life spent not remembering. The line kiaa muhu daysee jaa-ay (“how will she show her face when she departs”) carries shame-and-departure imagery; per the wellbeing rules it is rendered as simple loss — missing what mattered — not shame at death. kirhee pavandee muhaa-i-on — the inner “warning calls” that nudge us; bikhi-aa no lobhaa-ay — pulled toward what fades. Framed as gentle regret, not condemnation.
What is something valuable that’s easy to overlook because it’s always there?
