(Raag Aasaavari)
Hari Ke Naam Kon Aalas Kat Karat Hai Re Kaal Phirat Sar Saandhe. [1]

Heera Bahut Javaahar Sanche Kaha Bhayau Hasti Dar Baandhe. [3]

Ekau Na Chalat Jab Aavat Ant Ki Aandhen. [5]

It knows neither auspicious nor inauspicious times, it sits on your shoulder, always waiting to take you away. [2]
A jeweler may collect diamonds throughout his life, but what benefit is there in that? Will those diamonds and pearls be of any use after death? If elephants and horses are tied outside your door, will they save you from death? [3]
What is the point if your beautifully adorned wife waits for you in the palace with an aarti plate? [4]
When the final storm of death arrives, nothing will come to your aid, and no one will remain with you. [5]
