Salok:

ਅਤਿ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕੁਲੀਨ ਚਤੁਰ ਮੁਖਿ ਙਿਆਨੀ ਧਨਵੰਤ ॥

at sundar kuleen chatur mukh ngiaanee dhanavant |

He may be very handsome, born into a highly respected family, very wise, a famous spiritual teacher, prosperous and wealthy;

ਮਿਰਤਕ ਕਹੀਅਹਿ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜਿਹ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਭਗਵੰਤ ॥੧॥

miratak kaheeeh naanakaa jih preet nahee bhagavant |1|

but even so, he is looked upon as a corpse, O Nanak, if he does not love the Lord God. ||1||
