Pauree:

ਕੰਟਕੁ ਕਾਲੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਹੋਰੁ ਕੰਟਕੁ ਨ ਸੂਝੈ ॥

kanttak kaal ek hai hor kanttak na soojhai |

Only death is painful; I cannot conceive of anything else as painful.

ਅਫਰਿਓ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਪਾਪੀ ਸਿਉ ਲੂਝੈ ॥

afario jag meh varatadaa paapee siau loojhai |

It is unstoppable; it stalks and pervades the world, and fights with the sinners.

ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਹਰਿ ਭੇਦੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਬੂਝੈ ॥

gurasabadee har bhedeeai har jap har boojhai |

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one is immersed in the Lord. Meditating on the Lord, one comes to realize the Lord.

ਸੋ ਹਰਿ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਛੁਟੀਐ ਜੋ ਮਨ ਸਿਉ ਜੂਝੈ ॥

so har saranaaee chhutteeai jo man siau joojhai |

He alone is emancipated in the Sanctuary of the Lord, who struggles with his own mind.

ਮਨਿ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪੁ ਕਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਗਹ ਸੀਝੈ ॥੧੧॥

man veechaar har jap kare har daragah seejhai |11|

One who contemplates and meditates on the Lord in his mind, succeeds in the Court of the Lord. ||11||
