Pauree:

ਬਜਰ ਕਪਾਟ ਕਾਇਆ ਗੜੑ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਕੂੜੁ ਕੁਸਤੁ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੀ ॥

bajar kapaatt kaaeaa garra bheetar koorr kusat abhimaanee |

Within the fortress of body, are the hard and rigid doors of falsehood, deception and pride.

ਭਰਮਿ ਭੂਲੇ ਨਦਰਿ ਨ ਆਵਨੀ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅੰਧ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ॥

bharam bhoole nadar na aavanee manamukh andh agiaanee |

Deluded by doubt, the blind and ignorant self-willed manmukhs cannot see them.

ਉਪਾਇ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਲਭਨੀ ਕਰਿ ਭੇਖ ਥਕੇ ਭੇਖਵਾਨੀ ॥

aupaae kitai na labhanee kar bhekh thake bhekhavaanee |

They cannot be found by any efforts; wearing their religious robes, the wearers have grown weary of trying.

ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਖੋਲਾਈਅਨੑਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਾਨੀ ॥

gurasabadee kholaaeeana har naam japaanee |

The doors are opened only by the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and then, one chants the Name of the Lord.

ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਬਿਰਖੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਨ ਪੀਆ ਤੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਨੀ ॥੧੪॥

har jeeo amrit birakh hai jin peea te tripataanee |14|

The Dear Lord is the Tree of Ambrosial Nectar; those who drink in this Nectar are satisfied. ||14||
