જો પ્રભુ ભવજલ તરનકું, દીયે મનુષ્ય તન નાવ;

jō prabhu bhavajala taranakuṁ, dīyē manuṣya tana nāva;

Literally: Since God gave the human body as a boat to cross the ocean of worldly existence;
What it means: One must seize the opportunity of human life to worship God and achieve liberation before it is too late.
