Translation

(1) Je koī ḍachkā divas rāt khāto nar hoy kharā re

Sadguru Nishkulanand Swami

Je koī ḍachkā divas rāt, khāto nar hoy kharā re;

 Tene jīvvāṇī jūṭhī vāt, pāmpaḷā melo parā re... 1

(1) Ones who is on their death bed gasps desperately for each and every final breath. But his efforts are worthless. Don’t try to save him. Let him go.

Jenī nāḍī chhānḍī gaī ghar, jihvā to tūkī paḍī re;

 Drag doy daī gayā dar, shvas āvyo sudho chaḍī re... 2

(2) His pulse has ceased. He has lost his sense of taste and sight, and has begun to breathe heavily.

Teh samāmāhī sagpaṇ, kare koī kanyātaṇu re;

 Tene rokḍu chhe ranḍāpaṇ, evātaṇ udhāre ghaṇu re... 3

(3) At that time, if one arranges for a woman to marry the dying man, she has widowhood ready in waiting. For her, having good fortune is on a credit.

Tem satsangmā koī jan, gaḍbaḍ goṭā vāḷe re;

 Kahe Nishkuḷānand koī dan, rakhe te jīvit bāḷe re... 4

(4) Nishkulanand Swami says, “Similarly, if one who is lost in Satsang, one day he will have to be forewarned, he will ruin his life.”
