Pauree:

ਚਾਕਰੁ ਲਗੈ ਚਾਕਰੀ ਜੇ ਚਲੈ ਖਸਮੈ ਭਾਇ ॥

Chakar Lagai Chakaree Jae Chalai Khasamai Bhae ||

If a servant, performing service, obeys the Will of his Master,

ਹੁਰਮਤਿ ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਅਗਲੀ ਓਹੁ ਵਜਹੁ ਭਿ ਦੂਣਾ ਖਾਇ ॥

Huramath This No Agalee Ouhu Vajahu Bh Dhoona Khae ||

His honor increases, and he receives double his wages.

ਖਸਮੈ ਕਰੇ ਬਰਾਬਰੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਗੈਰਤਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਇ ॥

Khasamai Karae Barabaree Fir Gairath Andhar Pae ||

But if he claims to be equal to his Master, he earns his Master's displeasure.

ਵਜਹੁ ਗਵਾਏ ਅਗਲਾ ਮੁਹੇ ਮੁਹਿ ਪਾਣਾ ਖਾਇ ॥

Vajahu Gavaeae Agala Muhae Muhi Pana Khae ||

He loses his entire salary, and is also beaten on his face with shoes.

ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਦਿਤਾ ਖਾਵਣਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਸਾਬਾਸਿ ॥

Jis Dha Dhitha Khavana This Keheeai Sabas ||

Let us all celebrate Him, from whom we receive our nourishment.

ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਚਲਈ ਨਾਲਿ ਖਸਮ ਚਲੈ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥੨੨॥

Naanak Hukam N Chalee Nal Khasam Chalai Aradhas ||22||

O Nanak, no one can issue commands to the Lord Master; let us offer prayers instead. ||22||
