ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਸਾਧ ਮਗ ਸੁਨਿ ਕਰਿ ਨਿਮਖ ਨ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਗਾਵੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Baedh Puran Sadhh Mag Sun Kar Nimakh N Har Gun Gavai ||1|| Rehao ||

This mind listens to the Vedas, the Puraanas, and the ways of the Holy Saints, but it does not sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, for even an instant. ||1||Pause||

ਦੁਰਲਭ ਦੇਹ ਪਾਇ ਮਾਨਸ ਕੀ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਸਿਰਾਵੈ ॥

Dhuralabh Dhaeh Pae Manas Kee Birathha Janam Siravai ||

Having obtained this human body, so very difficult to obtain, it is now being uselessly wasted.

ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਮਹਾ ਸੰਕਟ ਬਨ ਤਾ ਸਿਉ ਰੁਚ ਉਪਜਾਵੈ ॥੧॥

Maeia Moh Meha Sankatt Ban Tha Sio Ruch Oupajavai ||1||

Emotional attachment to Maya is such a treacherous wilderness, and yet, people are in love with it. ||1||

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੰਗਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਤਾ ਸਿਉ ਨੇਹੁ ਨ ਲਾਵੈ ॥

Anthar Bahar Sadha Sang Prabh Tha Sio Naehu N Lavai ||

Inwardly and outwardly, God is always with them, and yet, they do not enshrine Love for Him.

Naanak Mukath Thahi Thum Manahu Jih Ghatt Ram Samavai ||2||6||

O Nanak, know that those whose hearts are filled with the Lord are liberated. ||2||6||
