Hey, tell me, why ever are we born here?
If you’re still selfish, you won’t believe anything I say!

How about a hint, so I can float my boat in the stream?
Basically, naturally, we are born simply to be people!

Come on! Is that really all there is to it?
If one fully lives up to the name, it’s abundantly fruitful!

What sort of born is called “inhuman”?
The birth that wastes the life one’s been given!

How is one born so that this life isn’t wasted?
Do not in any way transgress the duty of being human.

How is one born to the fullest standard of humanity?
Firmly commit to the duty of Dhamma people!
