First Mehl:

ਇਕ ਦਝਹਿ ਇਕ ਦਬੀਅਹਿ ਇਕਨਾ ਕੁਤੇ ਖਾਹਿ ॥

eik dajheh ik dabeeeh ikanaa kute khaeh |

Some are cremated, and some are buried; some are eaten by dogs.

ਇਕਿ ਪਾਣੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਉਸਟੀਅਹਿ ਇਕਿ ਭੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਹਸਣਿ ਪਾਹਿ ॥

eik paanee vich usatteeeh ik bhee fir hasan paeh |

Some are thrown into water, while others are thrown into wells.

ਨਾਨਕ ਏਵ ਨ ਜਾਪਈ ਕਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਸਮਾਹਿ ॥੨॥

naanak ev na jaapee kithai jaae samaeh |2|

O Nanak, it is not known, where they go and into what they merge. ||2||
