ਕਬੀਰ ਆਖੀ ਕੇਰੇ ਮਾਟੁਕੇ ਪਲੁ ਪਲੁ ਗਈ ਬਿਹਾਇ ॥

kabeer aakhee kere maattuke pal pal gee bihaae |

Kabeer, in the blink of an eye, moment by moment, life is passing by.

ਮਨੁ ਜੰਜਾਲੁ ਨ ਛੋਡਈ ਜਮ ਦੀਆ ਦਮਾਮਾ ਆਇ ॥੨੨੭॥

man janjaal na chhoddee jam deea damaamaa aae |227|

The mortal does not give up his worldly entanglements; the Messenger of Death walks in and beats the drum. ||227||
