Few are thy days; thou art wearied and the vesture of thy body hath grown old.

My merry friends have gone to sleep in the grave.

I too shall depart in sorrow, and weep with a feeble voice.

O fair one,[4] why not attentively listen to this message?

Thou must go to thy father-in-law's; thou mayest not dwell for ever in thy father's house.

Nanak, know that she who sleepeth[5] in her father's house, is robbed at an untimely season.

She hath lost her bundle of merits and departed with a load of demerits.[6]
