ਐਸੇ ਕਾਹੇ ਭੂਲਿ ਪਰੇ ॥

aise kaahe bhool pare |

Why do you wander in delusion like this?

ਕਰਹਿ ਕਰਾਵਹਿ ਮੂਕਰਿ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਪੇਖਤ ਸੁਨਤ ਸਦਾ ਸੰਗਿ ਹਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

kareh karaaveh mookar paaveh pekhat sunat sadaa sang hare |1| rahaau |

You act, and incite others to act, and then deny it. The Lord is always with you; He sees and hears everything. ||1||Pause||

kaach bihaajhan kanchan chhaaddan bairee sang het saajan tiaag khare |

The mortal has fallen into the deep, dark pit, and is entangled in the darkness of doubt, and the bondage of emotional attachment.
