Pauree:

ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਕਾਰ ਕਰਮਿ ਕਮਾਈਐ ॥

poore gur kee kaar karam kamaaeeai |

By the karma of good actions, some come to serve the Perfect Guru.

ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥

guramatee aap gavaae naam dhiaaeeai |

Through the Guru's Teachings, some eliminate selfishness and conceit, and meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

ਦੂਜੀ ਕਾਰੈ ਲਗਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਈਐ ॥

doojee kaarai lag janam gavaaeeai |

Undertaking any other task, they waste their lives in vain.

ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸਭ ਵਿਸੁ ਪੈਝੈ ਖਾਈਐ ॥

vin naavai sabh vis paijhai khaaeeai |

Without the Name, all that they wear and eat is poison.

ਸਚਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਾਲਾਹਿ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਈਐ ॥

sachaa sabad saalaeh sach samaaeeai |

Praising the True Word of the Shabad, they merge with the True Lord.

ਵਿਣੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵੇ ਨਾਹੀ ਸੁਖਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਈਐ ॥

vin satigur seve naahee sukh nivaas fir fir aaeeai |

Without serving the True Guru, they do not obtain the home of peace; they are consigned to reincarnation, over and over again.

ਦੁਨੀਆ ਖੋਟੀ ਰਾਸਿ ਕੂੜੁ ਕਮਾਈਐ ॥

duneea khottee raas koorr kamaaeeai |

Investing counterfeit capital, they earn only falsehood in the world.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੁ ਖਰਾ ਸਾਲਾਹਿ ਪਤਿ ਸਿਉ ਜਾਈਐ ॥੧੪॥

naanak sach kharaa saalaeh pat siau jaaeeai |14|

O Nanak, singing the Praises of the Pure, True Lord, they depart with honor. ||14||
