ਸਲੋਕ

Salok.
Shalok:
Kabīrā marṯā marṯā jag mu▫ā mar bẖė na jānai ko▫e.
Kabeer, the world is dying - dying to death, but no one knows how to truly die.
Aisī marnī jo marai bahur na marnā ho▫e. ||1||
Whoever dies, let him die such a death, that he does not have to die again. ||1||
Mėhlā 3.
Third Mehl:
Ki▫ā jāṇā kiv marhage kaisā marṇā ho▫e.
What do I know? How will I die? What sort of death will it be?
Je kar sāhib manhu na vīsrai ṯā sahilā marṇā ho▫e.
If I do not forget the Lord Master from my mind, then my death will be easy.
Marṇai ṯe jagaṯ darai jīvi▫ā loṛai sabẖ ko▫e.
The world is terrified of death; everyone longs to live.
Gur parsādī jīvaṯ marai hukmai būjẖai so▫e.
By Guru's Grace, one who dies while yet alive, understands the Lord's Will.
Nānak aisī marnī jo marai ṯā saḏ jīvaṇ ho▫e. ||2||
O Nanak, one who dies such a death, lives forever. ||2||

NOTE- I personally take this to mean that ''I want to die such a death just the once, whereby I can be merged with supreme consciousness of Akaal purakh.- I don't want to keep being reborn ...die....reborn..die...etc..(the 84 lak joon cycle). This is ref to Kabirji's salok.

OR- You can also say that the dying again and again is telling you about dying daily in the shabad by doing naam simran.

When we completely kill our thoughts in the meditative state and become nirgun/merged and immersed in shabad- then this itself is dying from the maya world around us !

''Jivat marai'' (ref-Guru Amardasji)- to be dead whilst alive as in jivan mukht, whereby One is alive in body in sense of breath and pran, but in mind is dead from the world.

Gurbani speaks to us ALL at different stages with the different messages.

ps. The version you mention by Joginder Singh (riar) is one of my favourites. :biggrin2:
