Chaar ganwaiyan handh ke

Chaar gawaiyan handh ke chaar ganwaiyan sam
Lekha rabb mangesiya tu aayon kerrhe kam?

Reference: Kalam Baba Farid, Dr Nazir Ahmad; Packages Limited; Page 31
English Translation

Fareed, the hours of the day are lost wandering around, and the hours of the night are lost in sleep. God will call for your account, and ask why you came into this world.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
