Sorat'h, First Mehl, Chau-Tukas:

ਮਾਇ ਬਾਪ ਕੋ ਬੇਟਾ ਨੀਕਾ ਸਸੁਰੈ ਚਤੁਰੁ ਜਵਾਈ ॥

Maae Baap Ko Baettaa Neekaa Sasurai Chathur Javaaee ||

The son is dear to his mother and father; he is the wise son-in-law to his father-in-law.

Baal Kanniaa Ka Baap Piaaraa Bhaaee Ka Ath Bhaaee ||

The father is dear to his son and daughter, and the brother is very dear to his brother.

Naam Dhaan Eisanaan N Manamukh Thith Than Dhhoorr Dhhumaaee ||1||

The self-willed manmukh does not remember the Name of the Lord, does not give in charity, and does not cleanse his consciousness; his body rolls in the dust. ||1||

Man Maaniaa Naam Sakhaaee ||

The mind is comforted by the Comforter of the Naam.

The mind is impressed with the false love of the world; he quarrels with the Lord's humble servant.

ਮਾਇਆ ਮਗਨੁ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਮਗੁ ਜੋਹੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਲੇਵੈ ਮਰੈ ਬਿਖੁ ਖਾਈ ॥

Maaeiaa Magan Ahinis Mag Johai Naam N Laevai Marai Bikh Khaaee ||

Infatuated with Maya, night and day, he sees only the worldly path; he does not chant the Naam, and drinking poison, he dies.

Gandhhan Vain Rathaa Hithakaaree Sabadhai Surath N Aaee ||

He is imbued and infatuated with vicious talk; the Word of the Shabad does not come into his consciousness.

Rang N Raathaa Ras Nehee Baedhhiaa Manamukh Path Gavaaee ||2||

He is not imbued with the Lord's Love, and he is not impressed by the taste of the Name; the self-willed manmukh loses his honor. ||2||

ਸਾਧ ਸਭਾ ਮਹਿ ਸਹਜੁ ਨ ਚਾਖਿਆ ਜਿਹਬਾ ਰਸੁ ਨਹੀ ਰਾਈ ॥

Saadhh Sabhaa Mehi Sehaj N Chaakhiaa Jihabaa Ras Nehee Raaee ||

He does not enjoy celestial peace in the Company of the Holy, and there is not even a bit of sweetness on his tongue.

ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਅਪੁਨਾ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਦਰ ਕੀ ਖਬਰਿ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥

Man Than Dhhan Apunaa Kar Jaaniaa Dhar Kee Khabar N Paaee ||

He calls his mind, body and wealth his own; he has no knowledge of the Court of the Lord.

ਅਖੀ ਮੀਟਿ ਚਲਿਆ ਅੰਧਿਆਰਾ ਘਰੁ ਦਰੁ ਦਿਸੈ ਨ ਭਾਈ ॥

Akhee Meett Chaliaa Andhhiaaraa Ghar Dhar Dhisai N Bhaaee ||

Closing his eyes, he walks in darkness; he cannot see the home of his own being, O Siblings of Destiny.

Tied up at Death's door, he finds no place of rest; he receives the rewards of his own actions. ||3||

ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਅਖੀ ਵੇਖਾ ਕਹਣਾ ਕਥਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥

Nadhar Karae Thaa Akhee Vaekhaa Kehanaa Kathhan N Jaaee ||

When the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, then I see Him with my own eyes; He is indescribable, and cannot be described.

Kannee Sun Sun Sabadh Salaahee Anmrith Ridhai Vasaaee ||

With my ears, I continually listen to the Word of the Shabad, and I praise Him; His Ambrosial Name abides within my heart.
