Chapters:
00:00:29 As springtime surrenders to summer and fall
00:00:40 And sunsets are swallowed by night's murky sprawl,
00:00:51 Birth, death and old age - these none can forestall.
00:01:27 Our gains lead to losses, each loss to some gain.
00:01:38 Successes and failures are certain as rain
00:01:51 Such karma we're born with, no scope to complain.
00:02:25 While treading the true path of dharma we stray
00:02:37 Immersed in deep quagmires of discord we play
00:02:49 Then weary and soiled, regaining our way
00:03:25 One hungry for triumph who suffers defeat
00:03:36 Renounces the world with despondent deceit
00:03:48 But cravings return and again he competes
00:04:23 All born with ignorance can feel desire's roar
00:04:35 Such desire breeds action and results to store
00:04:46 Which leads to rebirth with ignorance once more
00:05:22 Reborn as a beggar, a king, or a toad
00:05:33 We strive for contentment and shoulder our load
00:05:44 'Til merging with brahman, the highest abode.
