O the sublime man of faith, utter thou the Lord's Name. Why art thou keeping mum?
With thy eyes thou hast seen the treacherous dealings of the world.
Nothing shall go with thee, except the Name of the World-Lord.
The Land, raiment, gold and silver, vain are all these affairs.
Sons, wife, worldly honours, elephants, horses and other pernicious paraphernalia go not with thee.
Supplicates Nanak, without the society of saints the entire world is false.
O king, why art thou fast asleep? why does thou not wake up to reality.
To wail for worldly valuables is useless but many mortals hanker after wealth.
Wailed have many for this great bewitcher, but there is no peace without the Lord's Name.
Thousands of clevernesses and efforts avail not. Withersoever the Lord wills, thither the mortal goes.
In the beginning, end and the middle the Lord is fully pervading, and contained is He in the hearts of all beings.
Pray Nanak, they, who meet the saints society, go to Lord's mansion with honour.
O king, the Master of men, know that the palaces and the wise servants shall serve thee no purpose.
Separate thou must from them their love shall make thee feel sorry.
Beholding the phantom city thou art gone astray. How can thou attain stability therein?
By being absorbed in things other than the Lord's Name, the human life if lost in vain.
By indulging in excessive ego thy thirst is not quenched nor is thy desire fulfilled, nor attainest thou the Divine Knowledge.
Supplicates Nanak, without the Name of God many have departed regretfully.
Showering His benediction, the Lord has made me His own.
Catching me by the arm, God has pulled me out of the mire and blessed me with the saints society.
Meditating on God in the saints society, all my sins and suffering are burnt off.
God's meditation is the highest religion and a good act of charity. That alone shall go with thee.
My tongue utters the Name of the One Lord and my soul and body are drenched with God's Name.
Nanak, whomsoever the Lord unites with Himself, he becomes full of all the virtues.
