Awaken! awaken! The world is bound by the desire and subjugated by
[its own] actions. It does not realize the depleting life-span.
Awaken, awaken from that. Pain of birth, pain of old age, pain from
the wife happen again and again. In the last days [of life] great
sorrow befalls. Awaken, awaken from that. Passion and anger,
stinginess and delusion dwell in the body. They are robbers, who
steal the jewels of knowledge. Awaken, awaken from that. Wealth is
like a dream and the youth is like a flower[which withers away one
day]. They and also the life-span are transient like [flowing]
water. Awaken, awaken from that.

Awake! Awake!
People are bound by expectations, and are bound even more firmly by
their actions. They do not know that the period of their life is
diminishing.  Therefore Awake! Awake!
Birth, old age, and attachment to relatives are verily the cause of
pain, and the most painful is death. Therefore Awake! Awake!
The following thieves live in the body to rob us of the jewel of
knowledge: lust, anger, greed, and attachment. Therefore Awake! Awake!
Luxury is as unreal as a dream, and youth is as fragile as a flower. 
   ...
Therefore Awake! Awake!

jAgrata instead of jAgRihi could be treated as a
plural imperfect form, inviting all people to be awakened.
Variation : ##jAyA, mR^ityu, kAya, vyAdhi##

There are also couple of verses missing from above presentation.
The source of all these six verses and the composer
(Swami Raidas?) is not known.  The entire text, however, appears to be
a wake up call for the awareness of
a Sannyasin and its suitableness for a householder is doubtful.##
