37Basant, Fifth Mehla:

38The mortal wanders in reincarnation through countless lifetimes.

39Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, he falls into hell.

40Without devotional worship, he is cut apart into pieces.

41Without understanding, he is punished by the Messenger of Death. ||1||

42Meditate and vibrate forever on the Lord of the Universe, O my friend.

43Love forever the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||Pause||

44Contentment does not come by any endeavors.

45All the show of Maya is just a cloud of smoke.

46The mortal does not hesitate to commit sins.

47Intoxicated with poison, he comes and goes in reincarnation. ||2||

48Acting in egotism and self-conceit, his corruption only increases.

49The world is drowning in attachment and greed.

50Sexual desire and anger hold the mind in its power.

51Even in his dreams, he does not chant the Lord's Name. ||3||

52Sometimes he is a king, and sometimes he is a beggar.

53The world is bound by pleasure and pain.

54The mortal makes no arrangements to save himself.

55The bondage of sin continues to hold him. ||4||

56He has no beloved friends or companions.

57He himself eats what he himself plants.
