vaddaha(n)s mahalaa teejaa ||

Wadahans, Third Mehla:

ਇਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਜਜਰੀ ਹੈ ਇਸ ਨੋ ਜਰੁ ਪਹੁਚੈ ਆਏ ॥

eih sareer jajaree hai is no jar pahuchai aae ||

This body is frail; old age is overtaking it.

ਗੁਰਿ ਰਾਖੇ ਸੇ ਉਬਰੇ ਹੋਰੁ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਏ ॥

gur raakhe se ubare hor mar ja(n)mai aavai jaae ||

Those who are protected by the Guru are saved, while others die, to be reincarnated; they continue coming and going.

ਹੋਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਜਾਵਹਿ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਏ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਹਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥

hor mar ja(n)meh aaveh jaaveh a(n)t ge pachhutaaveh bin naavai sukh na hoiee ||

Others die, to be reincarnated; they continue coming and going, and in the end, they depart regretfully. Without the Name, there is no peace.

ਐਥੈ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਹੈ ਪਤਿ ਖੋਈ ॥

aaithai kamaavai so fal paavai manmukh hai pat khoiee ||

As one acts here, so does he obtain his rewards; the self-willed manmukh loses his honor.

ਜਮ ਪੁਰਿ ਘੋਰ ਅੰਧਾਰੁ ਮਹਾ ਗੁਬਾਰੁ ਨਾ ਤਿਥੈ ਭੈਣ ਨ ਭਾਈ ॥

jam pur ghor a(n)dhaar mahaa gubaar naa tithai bhain na bhaiee ||

In the City of Death, there is pitch darkness, and huge clouds of dust; neither sister nor brother is there.

kiaa dhen muh jaae avagun pachhutaae dhukho dhukh kamaae ||

What face will they show, when they go there? They will regret and repent for their sins; their actions will bring them only pain and suffering.
