जनम व्यर्थ है जात

लुलखरो रोजई गयो, लौलइज्जा गई जात।

गयो व्यर्थ सारो जनम, फिर भी नईं पछतात।।

कर कलेऊ डोलत रहे, इते उते बेकार।

करि बिआई इन्द्आये में, गोड़े दये पसार।

रोजई की एसई कथा, कछू न ऊँचों कीन।

दुर्लभ जो औसर मिलो, लियो काल ने छीन।।

~ सुकून

Translation:

Countless mornings and evenings are gone. With each passing day, the life itself has passed, I am not yet aware of the loss that has incurred and not repenting for it (still not ready to correct it's course).

Ate the food in the morning and roamed here and there aimlessly. Again ate in the dark (night) and then slept spreading the feet.

This is the story of each day, nothing higher did I do. This rare opportunity (of human birth) which I got is snatched away by the time (inevitable death)
