ਪਉੜੀ ॥

paurree |

Pauree:

ਮੋਹੁ ਕੂੜੁ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਹੈ ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਮੁਗਧੁ ਰਤਾ ॥

mohu koorr kuttanb hai manamukh mugadh rataa |

The foolish, self-willed manmukh is engrossed in false attachment to family.

ਹਉਮੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਕਰਿ ਮੁਏ ਕਿਛੁ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਲਿਤਾ ॥

haumai meraa kar mue kichh saath na litaa |

Practicing egotism and self-conceit, he dies and departs, taking nothing along with him.

ਸਿਰ ਉਪਰਿ ਜਮਕਾਲੁ ਨ ਸੁਝਈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿਤਾ ॥

sir upar jamakaal na sujhee doojai bharamitaa |

He does not understand that the Messenger of Death is hovering over his head; he is deluded by duality.

ਫਿਰਿ ਵੇਲਾ ਹਥਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਜਮਕਾਲਿ ਵਸਿ ਕਿਤਾ ॥

fir velaa hath na aavee jamakaal vas kitaa |

This opportunity will not come into his hands again; the Messenger of Death will seize him.

ਜੇਹਾ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਪਾਇਓਨੁ ਸੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਿਤਾ ॥੫॥

jehaa dhur likh paaeon se karam kamitaa |5|

He acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. ||5||
