ਮੁੰਡ ਰੁ ਤਨ ਥਰ ਥਰ ਕਾਂਪੇ, ਅੰਤਹੁ ਬਿਰਿਯਾਂ ਪਹੁੰਤੌ ਆਈ ॥੧॥
ਕੇਸੌ ਸੇਤਹ ਪਿਕੁ ਭਏ ਸਭੁ, ਤਨ ਮਨੁ ਬਲ ਬਿਲਮਾਇਆ॥
ਮਧਿਆਂਨ ਗਯੋ ਤੁਰਾ ਚਲਿ ਆਈ,
ਅਜਹੁੰ ਜਗ ਰਹਿਓ ਭਰਮਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

Samuj Pekh Mann Maanhi
Prat Palu Meech Grasai Dehi
Fun Ravidass Chetehu Naahi ॥4॥
O mind, be alert, the day of death has arrived but you are still engaged in worldly affairs.
Your ears do not listen, your eyes do not see and your tongue is unable to speak. Your head and body began to shiver. It seems that your last time has arrived.
Your hair have turned white. Due to weakness your body has become pale. The power of your mind and body has gone.
Your middle age has gone only then the old age has come. Even then you are being lured by the worldly charms.
The water in your body has decreased. The old age has arrived. Your body has decayed. The five organs of your body have tired.
Even then you have not tried to know the secret of God.
O brother! The swan of soul of your body is a very playful bird. You try to think about it and to understand it.
O man! The noose of death is overpowering your body slowly.
Ravidass warns the man to be cautious and recite the name of God.
