ਕਬੀਰ ਮਾਨਸ ਜਨਮੁ ਦੁਲੰਭੁ ਹੈ ਹੋਇ ਨ ਬਾਰੈ ਬਾਰ ॥

kabeer maanas janam dulanbh hai hoe na baarai baar |

Kabeer, it is so difficult to obtain this human body; it does not just come over and over again.

ਜਿਉ ਬਨ ਫਲ ਪਾਕੇ ਭੁਇ ਗਿਰਹਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਲਾਗਹਿ ਡਾਰ ॥੩੦॥

jiau ban fal paake bhue gireh bahur na laageh ddaar |30|

It is like the ripe fruit on the tree; when it falls to the ground, it cannot be re-attached to the branch. ||30||
