ਹਰਖ ਸੋਗ ਬੈਰਾਗ ਅਨੰਦੀ ਖੇਲੁ ਰੀ ਦਿਖਾਇਓ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

harakh sog bairaag anandee khel ree dikhaaeo |1| rahaau |

Pleasure and pain, detachment and ecstasy - the Lord has revealed His Play. ||1||Pause||

ਖਿਨਹੂੰ ਭੈ ਨਿਰਭੈ ਖਿਨਹੂੰ ਖਿਨਹੂੰ ਉਠਿ ਧਾਇਓ ॥

khinahoon bhai nirabhai khinahoon khinahoon utth dhaaeo |

One moment, the mortal is in fear, and the next moment he is fearless; in a moment, he gets up and departs.

One moment, he enjoys pleasures, and the next moment, he leaves and goes away. ||1||

khinahoon jog taap bahu poojaa khinahoon bharamaaeo |

One moment, he practices Yoga and intense meditation, and all sorts of worship; the next moment, he wanders in doubt.
