Your breath comes to its end, O my merchant friend, and your shoulders are weighed down by the tyrant of old age. Not one iota of virtue came into you, O my merchant friend; bound and gagged by evil, you are driven along.

After seeking and searching for such a long time, O Nanak, I have seen that the world is just a mansion of smoke.
