Pauree:

ਵਿਣੁ ਕਰਮਾ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਨੂਆ ਨ ਲਗੈ ॥

vin karamaa har jeeo na paaeeai bin satigur manooaa na lagai |

Without good karma, the Dear Lord is not found; without the True Guru, the mind is not joined to Him.

ਧਰਮੁ ਧੀਰਾ ਕਲਿ ਅੰਦਰੇ ਇਹੁ ਪਾਪੀ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਤਗੈ ॥

dharam dheeraa kal andare ihu paapee mool na tagai |

Only the Dharma remains stable in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga; these sinners will not last at all.

ਅਹਿ ਕਰੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਅਹਿ ਕਰੁ ਪਾਏ ਇਕ ਘੜੀ ਮੁਹਤੁ ਨ ਲਗੈ ॥

eh kar kare su eh kar paae ik gharree muhat na lagai |

Whatever one does with this hand, he obtains with the other hand, without a moment's delay.

ਚਾਰੇ ਜੁਗ ਮੈ ਸੋਧਿਆ ਵਿਣੁ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਨ ਭਗੈ ॥

chaare jug mai sodhiaa vin sangat ahankaar na bhagai |

I have examined the four ages, and without the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, egotism does not depart.

ਹਉਮੈ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਛੁਟਈ ਵਿਣੁ ਸਾਧੂ ਸਤਸੰਗੈ ॥

haumai mool na chhuttee vin saadhoo satasangai |

Egotism is never eradicated without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

ਤਿਚਰੁ ਥਾਹ ਨ ਪਾਵਈ ਜਿਚਰੁ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਿਉ ਮਨ ਭੰਗੈ ॥

tichar thaah na paavee jichar saahib siau man bhangai |

As long as one's mind is torn away from his Lord and Master, he finds no place of rest.

ਜਿਨਿ ਜਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਘਰਿ ਦੀਬਾਣੁ ਅਭਗੈ ॥

jin jan guramukh seviaa tis ghar deebaan abhagai |

That humble being, who, as Gurmukh, serves the Lord, has the Support of the Imperishable Lord in the home of his heart.

ਹਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਚਰਣੀ ਲਗੈ ॥੧੧॥

har kirapaa te sukh paaeaa gur satigur charanee lagai |11|

By the Lord's Grace, peace is obtained, and one is attached to the feet of the Guru, the True Guru. ||11||
