For but four days thy wealth is thy companion: it lasts so short a spell, why care for it?

For but four days thy wealth is thy companion: it lasts so short a spell, why care for it?
Keep in thy heart the one Lord's name: O Dharni, if you would cross the ocean of the world.
Learn thy true duty, know the truth: renounce not faith: this world is not thy home.
Hold fast to the Saint's feet, and relieve the pains of others: life is of little worth and death is sure.
