ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਣੀਅਨਿ ਸਾਧ ਅਸਾਧ ਜਗਤ ਵਰਤਾਰਾ ।

guramukh manamukh jaaneean saadh asaadh jagat varataaraa |

From their conduct in the world, the Guru-oriented, gurmukhs and mind oriented manmukhs are known sadhus and wicked ones respectively.

ਦੁਹ ਵਿਚਿ ਦੁਖੀ ਦੁਬਾਜਰੇ ਖਰਬੜ ਹੋਏ ਖੁਦੀ ਖੁਆਰਾ ।

duh vich dukhee dubaajare kharabarr hoe khudee khuaaraa |

Out of these two, the mongrels-apparently sadhus but internally thieves--are always in wavering state and, suffering for their ego, go astray.

ਦੁਹੀਂ ਸਰਾਈਂ ਜਰਦ ਰੂ ਦਗੇ ਦੁਰਾਹੇ ਚੋਰ ਚੁਗਾਰਾ ।

duheen saraaeen jarad roo dage duraahe chor chugaaraa |

Such double-faced thieves, backbiters and cheats remain pale-faced due to their bewilderment in both the worlds.

ਨਾ ਉਰਵਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਗੋਤੇ ਖਾਨਿ ਭਰਮੁ ਸਿਰਿ ਭਾਰਾ ।

naa uravaar na paar hai gote khaan bharam sir bhaaraa |

They are neither here nor there and, burdened with the load of delusions go on drowing in between and getting suffocated.

hindoo musalamaan vich guramukh manamukh vich gubaaraa |

Whether Muslim or the Hindu, the manmukh among the gurmukhs is the utter darkness.
