Pichali raat na jaagyo

Pichal raat na jaagyo
Jiyondrro moyon
Je tain rabb visarya
Tain rab na vissaryo

English Translation

Fareed, if you do not awaken in the early hours before dawn, you are dead while yet alive. Although you have forgotten God, God has not forgotten you.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
