Saving this to my [[Shabad bookmarks]] because it contained another example of the concept of [[This human life is a precious opportunity not to be wasted]].
> ਹਰਿ ਭਜਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਜੀਤ ॥
> Vibrating, meditating on the Lord, he is victorious in this **precious human life,**
> ਕੋਟਿ ਪਤਿਤ ਹੋਹਿ ਪੁਨੀਤ ॥
> And millions of sinners are sanctified.
> ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਕੀਤ ॥੨॥੧॥੧੦॥੧੯॥
> Slave Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Him. ||2||1||10||19||

Nat Partaal, Fifth Mehl:
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਕੋਊ ਹੈ ਮੇਰੋ ਸਾਜਨੁ ਮੀਤੁ ॥
Is there any friend or companion of mine,
ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੁਨਾਵੈ ਨੀਤ ॥
Who will constantly share the Lord's Name with me?
ਬਿਨਸੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਬਿਪਰੀਤਿ ॥
Will he rid me of my pains and evil tendencies?
ਸਭੁ ਅਰਪਉ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਚੀਤੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
I would surrender my mind, body, consciousness and everything. ||1||Pause||
ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਆਪਨ ਕੀਤ ॥
How rare is that one whom the Lord makes His own,
ਸੰਗਿ ਚਰਨਕਮਲ ਮਨੁ ਸੀਤ ॥
And whose mind is sewn into the Lord's Lotus Feet.
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਦੀਤ ॥੧॥
Granting His Grace, the Lord blesses him with His Praise. ||1||
ਹਰਿ ਭਜਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਜੀਤ ॥
Vibrating, meditating on the Lord, he is victorious in this **precious human life,**
ਕੋਟਿ ਪਤਿਤ ਹੋਹਿ ਪੁਨੀਤ ॥
And millions of sinners are sanctified.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਕੀਤ ॥੨॥੧॥੧੦॥੧੯॥
Slave Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Him. ||2||1||10||19||
