One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

ਬਿਕਾਰ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਾਦਿ ਸੋਇਓ ਸੂਝ ਬੂਝ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥

bikaar maaeaa maad soeo soojh boojh na aavai |

He sleeps, intoxicated by corruption and Maya; he does not come to realize or understand.

ਪਕਰਿ ਕੇਸ ਜਮਿ ਉਠਾਰਿਓ ਤਦ ਹੀ ਘਰਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥੧॥

Seizing him by the hair, the Messenger of Death pulls him up; then, he comes to his senses. ||1||

ਲੋਭ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਬਿਖੈ ਲਾਗੇ ਹਿਰਿ ਵਿਤ ਚਿਤ ਦੁਖਾਹੀ ॥

lobh bikhiaa bikhai laage hir vit chit dukhaahee |

Those who are attached to the poison of greed and sin grab at the wealth of others; they only bring pain on themselves.

khin bhangunaa kai maan maate asur jaaneh naahee |1| rahaau |

They are intoxicated by their pride in those things which shall be destroyed in an instant; those demons do not understand. ||1||Pause||

The Vedas, the Shaastras and the holy men proclaim it, but the deaf do not hear it.

ਨਿਪਟਿ ਬਾਜੀ ਹਾਰਿ ਮੂਕਾ ਪਛੁਤਾਇਓ ਮਨਿ ਭੋਰਾ ॥੨॥

nipatt baajee haar mookaa pachhutaaeo man bhoraa |2|

When the game of life is over, and he has lost, and he breathes his last, then the fool regrets and repents in his mind. ||2||

ਡਾਨੁ ਸਗਲ ਗੈਰ ਵਜਹਿ ਭਰਿਆ ਦੀਵਾਨ ਲੇਖੈ ਨ ਪਰਿਆ ॥

He paid the fine, but it is in vain - in the Court of the Lord, his account is not credited.

ਜੇਂਹ ਕਾਰਜਿ ਰਹੈ ਓਲੑਾ ਸੋਇ ਕਾਮੁ ਨ ਕਰਿਆ ॥੩॥

jenh kaaraj rahai olaa soe kaam na kariaa |3|

Those deeds which would have covered him - those deeds, he has not done. ||3||

ਐਸੋ ਜਗੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਗੁਰਿ ਦਿਖਾਇਓ ਤਉ ਏਕ ਕੀਰਤਿ ਗਾਇਆ ॥

aiso jag mohi gur dikhaaeo tau ek keerat gaaeaa |

The Guru has shown me the world to be thus; I sing the Kirtan of the Praises of the One Lord.
