In fear of losing, don’t lose life itself

Kuch gavane ke darrse, zindagi ko hi na gavana

Ke kitne dine jiyenge, aur kaise jiyenge

Yeh na dekthe-sochthe zindagi gavana

Ke log kya keh rahe hai, log kya kar rahe hai

Suno us parmatma/Guru ki vaani ko,

Jo tumhare antar atma se nikle

Chakho aur nihaaro keval us satya ko

Jo tumhare dhyan aur sajagta mein ubhare

Nirbhay ho ke jiyo zindagi ko

Char din ki zindagi, bindaas jiyo

Aur jo bhi is zindagi mein kar sako

Voh sirf apne liye nahi, sabke liye karo

Tabhi zindagi khoobsurat lagne lagegi

Tabhi zindagi mein sukoon aane lagegi

Tabhi zindagi mauj honi lagegi

Tabhi zindagi ka maksad pura hone lagega

English translation:

In fear of losing something, don’t lose life itself,

Worrying how long will I live, and how will I live

Don’t lose days of life watching and worrying,

What people are saying, what people are doing

Listen to God’s/Guru’s voice,

That emanates from your inner self

Taste and behold only that wisdom,

That emerges from your meditation and awareness

Live your life being fearless

It’s four days of life, live carefree

And whatever you’re able to do in life

Do it not be just for yourself, but for others too

Then life will begin feeling beautiful

Then life will begin bringing peace

Then will life begin to be fun-filled

Then the purpose of life will begin getting fulfilled
