Hukamnama by Bhagat Ravidas ji

The days that are passing are being used up everyday  – instead of gaining new days, we are losing these days from our total lifespan. Everybody has to die one day, nobody will stay forever. Everybody around us has or will die, and we will too – the Jaws of Death are hovering over us, we don’t know when we will be taken.

Hey fool: come back to your senses, why are you asleep (oblivious from truth)? You believe this life will be forever. You are always worried about making a living for Food/shelter etc, but the reality is the One who gave you this life will also provide for you, you should not be worried.

We always think in terms of “I am such great person”, “I possess this much of land or building or money or objects” – instead we should so Naam-Simran and worry about connecting with God. Life is coming to its end and you haven’t set up your path (to God, post-life). Hey Fool: You don’t think of God, these people who you have attached yourself to will disappear in the end.

Conclusion: We are not going to live forever. Don’t get attached to anything or anyone and get detached from Naam-Simran that connects us to God.
