This translation is not quite correct

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਮਉਤੈ ਦਾ ਬੰਨਾ ਏਵੈ ਦਿਸੈ ਜਿਉ ਦਰੀਆਵੈ ਢਾਹਾ ॥ फरीदा मउतै दा बंना एवै दिसै जिउ दरीआवै ढाहा ॥

Fareed, the shore of death looks like the river-bank. (Life is the river, bank is death where you get off the boat )

ਅਗੈ ਦੋਜਕੁ ਤਪਿਆ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਹੂਲ ਪਵੈ ਕਾਹਾਹਾ ॥ अगै दोजकु तपिआ सुणीऐ हूल पवै काहाहा ॥

Upon landing there is burning hell, from which cries and shrieks are heard.

ਇਕਨਾ ਨੋ ਸਭ ਸੋਝੀ ਆਈ ਇਕਿ ਫਿਰਦੇ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹਾ ॥ इकना नो सभ सोझी आई इकि फिरदे वेपरवाहा ॥

Some understood this completely (and remembered God in life), while others wandered around carelessly (wasted their precious life).

ਅਮਲ ਜਿ ਕੀਤਿਆ ਦੁਨੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਸੇ ਦਰਗਹ ਓਗਾਹਾ ॥੯੮॥ अमल जि कीतिआ दुनी विचि से दरगह ओगाहा ॥९८॥

Those who followed my advice when they were alive, skip over the hell and directly go to God's court. ||98|| Ang 1383
