Basant, Fifth Mehl:

The mortal wanders in reincarnation through countless lifetimes.

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

Without devotional worship, he is cut apart into pieces.

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

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

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

Contentment does not come by any endeavors.

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

The mortal does not hesitate to commit sins.

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

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

The world is drowning in attachment and greed.

Sexual desire and anger hold the mind in its power.

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

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

The world is bound by pleasure and pain.

The mortal makes no arrangements to save himself.

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

He has no beloved friends or companions.

He himself eats what he himself plants.
