| One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: |
|
| ਰੇ ਨਰ ਗਰਭ ਕੁੰਡਲ ਜਬ ਆਛਤ ਉਰਧ ਧਿਆਨ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗਾ ॥ |
| rae nar garabh kunddal jab aashhath ouradhh dhhiaan liv laagaa || |
| O man, when you were coiled in the cradle of the womb, upside-down, you were absorbed in meditation. |
|
| ਮਿਰਤਕ ਪਿੰਡਿ ਪਦ ਮਦ ਨਾ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਏਕੁ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਸੁ ਨਾਗਾ ॥ |
| mirathak pindd padh madh naa ahinis eaek agiaan s naagaa || |
| You took no pride in your perishable body; night and day were all the same to you-you lived unknowing, in the silence of the void. |
|
| ਤੇ ਦਿਨ ਸੰਮਲੁ ਕਸਟ ਮਹਾ ਦੁਖ ਅਬ ਚਿਤੁ ਅਧਿਕ ਪਸਾਰਿਆ ॥ |
| thae dhin sanmal kasatt mehaa dhukh ab chith adhhik pasaariaa || |
| Remember the terrible pain and suffering of those days, now that you have spread out the net of your consciousness far and wide. |
|

| garabh shhodd mrith manddal aaeiaa tho narehar manahu bisaariaa ||1|| |
| Leaving the womb, you entered this mortal world; you have forgotten the Lord from your mind. ||1|| |
|
| ਫਿਰਿ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਹਿਗਾ ਮੂੜਿਆ ਤੂੰ ਕਵਨ ਕੁਮਤਿ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਲਾਗਾ ॥ |
| fir pashhuthaavehigaa moorriaa thoon kavan kumath bhram laagaa || |
| Later, you will regret and repent-you fool! Why are you engrossed in evil-mindedness and skepticism? |
|
| ਚੇਤਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਜਮ ਪੁਰਿ ਜਾਹਿਗਾ ਜਨੁ ਬਿਚਰੈ ਅਨਰਾਧਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ |
| chaeth raam naahee jam pur jaahigaa jan bicharai anaraadhhaa ||1|| rehaao || |
| Think of the Lord, or else you shall be led to the City of Death. Why are you wandering around, out of control? ||1||Pause|| |
|
| ਬਾਲ ਬਿਨੋਦ ਚਿੰਦ ਰਸ ਲਾਗਾ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਬਿਆਪੈ ॥ |
| baal binodh chindh ras laagaa khin khin mohi biaapai || |
| You play like a child, craving sweets; moment by moment, you become more entangled in emotional attachment. |
|
| ਰਸੁ ਮਿਸੁ ਮੇਧੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਬਿਖੁ ਚਾਖੀ ਤਉ ਪੰਚ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਸੰਤਾਪੈ ॥ |
| ras mis maedhh anmrith bikh chaakhee tho panch pragatt santhaapai || |
| Tasting good and bad, you eat nectar and then poison, and then the five passions appear and torture you. |
|
| ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਸੁਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਮਤਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਅਰਾਧਿਆ ॥ |
| jap thap sanjam shhodd sukirath math raam naam n araadhhiaa || |
| Abandoning meditation, penance and self-restraint, and the wisdom of good actions, you do not worship and adore the Lord's Name. |

| oushhaliaa kaam kaal math laagee tho aan sakath gal baandhhiaa ||2|| |
| You are overflowing with sexual desire, and your intellect is stained with darkness; you are held in the grip of Shakti's power. ||2|| |
|
| ਤਰੁਣ ਤੇਜੁ ਪਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਅ ਮੁਖੁ ਜੋਹਹਿ ਸਰੁ ਅਪਸਰੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਿਆ ॥ |
| tharun thaej par thria mukh johehi sar apasar n pashhaaniaa || |
| In the heat of youthful passion, you look with desire upon the faces of other men's wives; you do not distinguish between good and evil. |
|
| ਉਨਮਤ ਕਾਮਿ ਮਹਾ ਬਿਖੁ ਭੂਲੈ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਨਿਆ ॥ |
| ounamath kaam mehaa bikh bhoolai paap punn n pashhaaniaa || |
| Drunk with sexual desire and other great sins, you go astray, and do not distinguish between vice and virtue. |
|
| ਸੁਤ ਸੰਪਤਿ ਦੇਖਿ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਗਰਬਿਆ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤੇ ਖੋਇਆ ॥ |
| suth sanpath dhaekh eihu man garabiaa raam ridhai thae khoeiaa || |
| Gazing upon your children and your property, your mind is proud and arrogant; you cast out the Lord from your heart. |
|
| ਅਵਰ ਮਰਤ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਨੁ ਤੋਲੇ ਤਉ ਭਗ ਮੁਖਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਵਿਗੋਇਆ ॥੩॥ |
| avar marath maaeiaa man tholae tho bhag mukh janam vigoeiaa ||3|| |
| When others die, you measure your own wealth in your mind; you waste your life in the pleasures of the mouth and sexual organs. ||3|| |
|
| ਪੁੰਡਰ ਕੇਸ ਕੁਸਮ ਤੇ ਧਉਲੇ ਸਪਤ ਪਾਤਾਲ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ |
| punddar kaes kusam thae dhhoulae sapath paathaal kee baanee || |
| Your hair is whiter than the jasmine flower, and your voice has grown feeble, as if it comes from the seventh underworld. |
|
| ਲੋਚਨ ਸ੍ਰਮਹਿ ਬੁਧਿ ਬਲ ਨਾਠੀ ਤਾ ਕਾਮੁ ਪਵਸਿ ਮਾਧਾਣੀ ॥ |
| lochan sramehi budhh bal naathee thaa kaam pavas maadhhaanee || |
| Your eyes water, and your intellect and strength have left you; but still, your sexual desire churns and drives you on. |
|
| ਤਾ ਤੇ ਬਿਖੈ ਭਈ ਮਤਿ ਪਾਵਸਿ ਕਾਇਆ ਕਮਲੁ ਕੁਮਲਾਣਾ ॥ |
| thaa thae bikhai bhee math paavas kaaeiaa kamal kumalaanaa || |
| And so, your intellect has dried up through corruption, and the lotus flower of your body has wilted and withered. |
|
| ਅਵਗਤਿ ਬਾਣਿ ਛੋਡਿ ਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਮੰਡਲਿ ਤਉ ਪਾਛੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਣਾ ॥੪॥ |
| avagath baan shhodd mrith manddal tho paashhai pashhuthaanaa ||4|| |
| You have forsaken the Bani, the Word of the Immortal Lord, in this mortal world; in the end, you shall regret and repent. ||4|| |
|
| ਨਿਕੁਟੀ ਦੇਹ ਦੇਖਿ ਧੁਨਿ ਉਪਜੈ ਮਾਨ ਕਰਤ ਨਹੀ ਬੂਝੈ ॥ |
| nikuttee dhaeh dhaekh dhhun oupajai maan karath nehee boojhai || |
| Gazing upon the tiny bodies of your children, love has welled up within your heart; you are proud of them, but you do not understand. |
|
| ਲਾਲਚੁ ਕਰੈ ਜੀਵਨ ਪਦ ਕਾਰਨ ਲੋਚਨ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਸੂਝੈ ॥ |
| laalach karai jeevan padh kaaran lochan kashhoo n soojhai || |
| You long for the dignity of a long life, but your eyes can no longer see anything. |
|
| ਥਾਕਾ ਤੇਜੁ ਉਡਿਆ ਮਨੁ ਪੰਖੀ ਘਰਿ ਆਂਗਨਿ ਨ ਸੁਖਾਈ ॥ |
| thhaakaa thaej ouddiaa man pankhee ghar aaangan n sukhaaee || |
| Your light has gone out, and the bird of your mind has flown away; you are no longer welcome in your own home and courtyard. |
