Pauree:

ਢਢਾ ਢੂਢਤ ਕਹ ਫਿਰਹੁ ਢੂਢਨੁ ਇਆ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥

dtadtaa dtoodtat keh firahu dtoodtan eaa man maeh |

DHADHA: Where are you going, wandering and searching? Search instead within your own mind.

ਸੰਗਿ ਤੁਹਾਰੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਬਸੈ ਬਨੁ ਬਨੁ ਕਹਾ ਫਿਰਾਹਿ ॥

sang tuhaarai prabh basai ban ban kahaa firaeh |

God is with you, so why do you wander around from forest to forest?

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, tear down the mound of your frightful, egotistical pride.

ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹੁ ਸਹਜੇ ਬਸਹੁ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖਿ ਨਿਹਾਲ ॥

sukh paavahu sahaje basahu darasan dekh nihaal |

You shall find peace, and abide in intuitive bliss; gazing upon the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan, you shall be delighted.

ਢੇਰੀ ਜਾਮੈ ਜਮਿ ਮਰੈ ਗਰਭ ਜੋਨਿ ਦੁਖ ਪਾਇ ॥

dteree jaamai jam marai garabh jon dukh paae |

One who has such a mound as this, dies and suffers the pain of reincarnation through the womb.

ਮੋਹ ਮਗਨ ਲਪਟਤ ਰਹੈ ਹਉ ਹਉ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

moh magan lapattat rahai hau hau aavai jaae |

One who is intoxicated by emotional attachment, entangled in egotism, selfishness and conceit, shall continue coming and going in reincarnation.

ਢਹਤ ਢਹਤ ਅਬ ਢਹਿ ਪਰੇ ਸਾਧ ਜਨਾ ਸਰਨਾਇ ॥

dtehat dtehat ab dteh pare saadh janaa saranaae |

Slowly and steadily, I have now surrendered to the Holy Saints; I have come to their Sanctuary.

ਦੁਖ ਕੇ ਫਾਹੇ ਕਾਟਿਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਲੀਏ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੩੦॥

dukh ke faahe kaattiaa naanak lee samaae |30|

God has cut away the noose of my pain; O Nanak, He has merged me into Himself. ||30||
