pehilai peharai rain kai vanajaariaa mithraa hukam paeiaa garabhaas ||
In the first watch of the night O my merchant friend you were cast into the womb, by the Lord's Command.

ouradhh thap anthar karae vanajaariaa mithraa khasam saethee aradhaas ||
Upside-down, within the womb, you performed penance, O my merchant friend, and you prayed to your Lord and Master.

khasam saethee aradhaas vakhaanai ouradhh dhhiaan liv laagaa ||
You uttered prayers to your Lord and Master, while upside-down, and you meditated on Him with deep love and affection.

naa marajaadh aaeiaa kal bheethar baahurr jaasee naagaa ||
You came into this Dark Age of Kali Yuga naked, and you shall depart again naked.
ਜੈਸੀ ਕਲਮ ਵੁੜੀ ਹੈ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਤੈਸੀ ਜੀਅੜੇ ਪਾਸਿ ॥
jaisee kalam vurree hai masathak thaisee jeearrae paas ||
As God's Pen has written on your forehead, so it shall be with your soul.

dhoojai peharai rain kai vanajaariaa mithraa visar gaeiaa dhhiaan ||
In the second watch of the night, O my merchant friend, you have forgotten to meditate.

hathho hathh nachaaeeai vanajaariaa mithraa jio jasudhaa ghar kaan ||
From hand to hand, you are passed around, O my merchant friend, like Krishna in the house of Yashoda.
ਹਥੋ ਹਥਿ ਨਚਾਈਐ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਮਾਤ ਕਹੈ ਸੁਤੁ ਮੇਰਾ ॥
hathho hathh nachaaeeai praanee maath kehai suth maeraa ||
From hand to hand, you are passed around, and your mother says, ""This is my son.""
ਚੇਤਿ ਅਚੇਤ ਮੂੜ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਅੰਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਕਛੁ ਤੇਰਾ ॥
chaeth achaeth moorr man maerae anth nehee kashh thaeraa ||
O, my thoughtless and foolish mind, think: In the end, nothing shall be yours.
ਜਿਨਿ ਰਚਿ ਰਚਿਆ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਧਰਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ॥
jin rach rachiaa thisehi n jaanai man bheethar dhhar giaan ||
You do not know the One who created the creation. Gather spiritual wisdom within your mind.

You have not remembered the Name of the Lord, O my merchant friend, although it would release you from bondage.

You do not remember the Name of the Lord, and you become confused by Maya.
ਧਨ ਸਿਉ ਰਤਾ ਜੋਬਨਿ ਮਤਾ ਅਹਿਲਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥

Revelling in your riches and intoxicated with youth, you waste your life uselessly.
ਧਰਮ ਸੇਤੀ ਵਾਪਾਰੁ ਨ ਕੀਤੋ ਕਰਮੁ ਨ ਕੀਤੋ ਮਿਤੁ ॥
dhharam saethee vaapaar n keetho karam n keetho mith ||
You have not traded in righteousness and Dharma; you have not made good deeds your friends.

My understanding from panna # 33: The major problem is ego, as long as there is ego, you are not a gurmukh- so nothing works including hanging upside down.
My understanding from panna # 74: Even after hanging upside down for 10 months in the womb and doing prayers and meditations: What was the result: human is still eaten up by worldly moh maya right after taking birth(forgets all the tapp and meditation, no effect remains as mind was never disciplined to be under Waheguru's Hukam- Mind had no faith in Waheguru).
