What you came in this world for?

Another one of my Master's Guru's poems extracts in a mixture of North Indian languages (primarily Punjabi and Urdu)... be warned this one is very blunt and may not be understood by everybody... if you are just starting to read this blog, it may not be advisable to read this post first...

Bande! Ohh din yaad nahin
Jad maat gharab which aayan see
Bakara jeeven halal karake
Phuthan kar latkayan see

Bhatti de which bhande vangu
Agni jal pakaya see
Khada peeta sar sar jhanda
Tenu Rab bhachaya see

Bhul gayeen yaad Pritam wali
Boondoon guraj banayaan see
Had cham de putaley noon
Par khoob too chamkaya see

Naam daan ka vaada karkey
Ta too aithey aayaan see
Bhool gaya is duniya mein tu
Ki karney noon aayan see

O human!
You have forgotten the day
When you came into your mother's womb
You were hung upside down
The same way as a lamb is
Hung after being butchered at
A butcher's place

You had to face the oven like heat
Inside your mother's womb
You were exposed to all the
Feces and heat inside there
The Lord saved you there

(Now that you are outside)
You have forgotten to
Remember the Lord
Your body was made from a
Drop (of semen)
This statue of bones and flesh
Was made beautiful and attractive
By the Lord

You came out
By giving promises
That You will meditate on His name
And will give to the saints and the needy
(Now that you are out)
You have forgotten what you
Came in this world for
