hau muttharree dhandhai dhaavaneea pir chhoddiarree vidhanakaare |

I too have been defrauded, chasing after worldly entanglements; my Husband Lord has forsaken me - I practice the evil deeds of a wife without a spouse.

ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਕੰਤੁ ਮਹੇਲੀਆ ਰੂੜੈ ਹੇਤਿ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥
ghar ghar kant maheleea roorrai het piaare |

In each and every home, are the brides of the Husband Lord; they gaze upon their Handsome Lord with love and affection.

Come and meet with me, O brides of the Lord; let's meditate in remembrance on the Creator Lord.

The One who creates and dissolves the world - that Lord and Master alone knows His creative power.

sacharraa door na bhaaleeai ghatt ghatt sabad pachhaanovaa |

Do not search for the True Lord far away; recognize the Word of the Shabad in each and every heart.

sach sabad pachhaanahu door na jaanahu jin eeh rachanaa raachee |

Recognize the Shabad, and do not think that the Lord is far away; He created this creation.

ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ਤਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਪਿੜ ਕਾਚੀ ॥
naam dhiaae taa sukh paae bin naavai pirr kaachee |

Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one obtains peace; without the Naam, he plays a losing game.

ਜਿਨਿ ਥਾਪੀ ਬਿਧਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ਕਿਆ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਵਖਾਣੋ ॥
jin thaapee bidh jaanai soee kiaa ko kahai vakhaano |

The One who established the Universe, He alone knows the Way; what can anyone say?

jin jag thaap vataaeaa jaaluo so saahib paravaano |1|

The One who established the world cast the net of Maya over it; accept Him as your Lord and Master. ||1||

O Baba, he has come, and now he must get up and depart; this world is only a way-station.

Upon each and every head, the True Lord writes their destiny of pain and pleasure, according to their past actions.

ਦੁਖੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਦੀਆ ਜੇਹਾ ਕੀਆ ਸੋ ਨਿਬਹੈ ਜੀਅ ਨਾਲੇ ॥
dukh sukh deea jehaa keea so nibahai jeea naale |

He bestows pain and pleasure, according to the deeds done; the record of these deeds stays with the soul.

ਜੇਹੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਰਾਏ ਕਰਤਾ ਦੂਜੀ ਕਾਰ ਨ ਭਾਲੇ ॥
jehe karam karaae karataa doojee kaar na bhaale |

He does those deeds which the Creator Lord causes him to do; he attempts no other actions.

ਆਪਿ ਨਿਰਾਲਮੁ ਧੰਧੈ ਬਾਧੀ ਕਰਿ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਛਡਾਵਣਹਾਰੋ ॥
aap niraalam dhandhai baadhee kar hukam chhaddaavanahaaro |

The Lord Himself is detached, while the world is entangled in conflict; by His Command, He emancipates it.

ਅਜੁ ਕਲਿ ਕਰਦਿਆ ਕਾਲੁ ਬਿਆਪੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਵਿਕਾਰੋ ॥੨॥
aj kal karadiaa kaal biaapai doojai bhaae vikaaro |2|

He may put this off today, but tomorrow he is seized by death; in love with duality, he practices corruption. ||2||

The chain is put around his neck, and the Messenger of Death standing over his head strikes him; he cannot see the door of his home.

ਇਬ ਕੇ ਰਾਹੇ ਜੰਮਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਪਛੁਤਾਣੇ ਸਿਰਿ ਭਾਰੋ ॥
eib ke raahe jaman naahee pachhutaane sir bhaaro |

The seeds planted on this path do not sprout; bearing the weight of his sins upon his head, he regrets and repents.

Without the True Lord, no one is his friend; reflect upon this as true. ||3||

O Baba, they alone are known to truly weep and wail, who meet together and weep, chanting the Praises of the Lord.

ਰੋਵੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੁਠੜੀ ਧੰਧੜਾ ਰੋਵਣਹਾਰੇਵਾ ॥
rovai maaeaa muttharree dhandharraa rovanahaarevaa |

Defrauded by Maya and worldly affairs, the weepers weep.

ਧੰਧਾ ਰੋਵੈ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਧੋਵੈ ਸੁਪਨੰਤਰੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੋ ॥
dhandhaa rovai mail na dhovai supanantar sansaaro |

They weep for the sake of worldly affairs, and they do not wash off their own filth; the world is merely a dream.

ਜਿਉ ਬਾਜੀਗਰੁ ਭਰਮੈ ਭੂਲੈ ਝੂਠਿ ਮੁਠੀ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੋ ॥
jiau baajeegar bharamai bhoolai jhootth mutthee ahankaaro |

Like the juggler, deceiving by his tricks, one is deluded by egotism, falsehood and illusion.

ਆਪੇ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਪਾਵਣਹਾਰਾ ਆਪੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਏ ॥
aape maarag paavanahaaraa aape karam kamaae |

The Lord Himself reveals the Path; He Himself is the Doer of deeds.

O Baba, whoever has come, will rise up and leave; this world is merely a false show.

sachaa ghar sacharrai seveeai sach kharaa sachiaarovaa |

One's true home is obtained by serving the True Lord; real Truth is obtained by being truthful.

ਕੂੜਿ ਲਬਿ ਜਾਂ ਥਾਇ ਨ ਪਾਸੀ ਅਗੈ ਲਹੈ ਨ ਠਾਓ ॥
koorr lab jaan thaae na paasee agai lahai na tthaao |

By falsehood and greed, no place of rest is found, and no place in the world hereafter is obtained.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਆਉ ਨ ਬੈਸਹੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਜਿਉ ਸੁੰਞੈ ਘਰਿ ਕਾਓ ॥
antar aau na baisahu kaheeai jiau sunyai ghar kaao |

No one invites him to come in and sit down. He is like a crow in a deserted home.

ਜੰਮਣੁ ਮਰਣੁ ਵਡਾ ਵੇਛੋੜਾ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਜਗੁ ਸਬਾਏ ॥
jaman maran vaddaa vechhorraa binasai jag sabaae |

Trapped by birth and death, he is separated from the Lord for such a long time; the whole world is wasting away.
