In plain words
This world is a show to look at, and nobody gets to stay. Walk straight, keep straight on the path, or you will be given a rough shove. *(refrain)* Children, old men, young men, brother: Death will carry off every one of them. The poor man has been made a mouse, and death the cat will eat him. Rich man or poor man, he pays neither of them any regard. King and subject he strikes down alike: so great a thing is Kāl. The servants of Hari, the ones Hari is pleased with: their story is another story. They do not come and do not go and never die, for Pārbrahm keeps them company. Sons, wife, Lakṣmī, māyā: know it in your soul and let them go. Says Kabīr, listen, saints: Sāriṅgpānī will be met.
