Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Be happy, dear one — while your youth is fresh and full of life.
But the days are few. You have grown weary. Now the body has grown old.
Not a warning — a reminder: the window of each season is limited. Use it fully.
The rahao is addressed with tenderness (piyaaree) — beloved. The instruction is: enjoy your youth while it's here. This is not hedonism — it is the spiritual instruction to be fully present in each season of life.
"Grown weary" — the physical wearing-down is honest, not dramatized. The body has a season; that season passes. The question is whether you were actually inside it while it was happening.
Are you living in the season you're actually in — or partly in the past, partly in the future? What would it feel like to be fully here?
