Pauree:

ਖਾਨ ਮਲੂਕ ਕਹਾਇਦੇ ਕੋ ਰਹਣੁ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥

khaan malook kahaaeide ko rehan na paaee |

They call themselves emperors and rulers, but none of them will be allowed to stay.

ਗੜੑ ਮੰਦਰ ਗਚ ਗੀਰੀਆ ਕਿਛੁ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥

garra mandar gach geereea kichh saath na jaaee |

Their sturdy forts and mansions - none of them will go along with them.

ਸੋਇਨ ਸਾਖਤਿ ਪਉਣ ਵੇਗ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ॥

soein saakhat paun veg dhrig dhrig chaturaaee |

Their gold and horses, fast as the wind, are cursed, and cursed are their clever tricks.

ਛਤੀਹ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਪਰਕਾਰ ਕਰਹਿ ਬਹੁ ਮੈਲੁ ਵਧਾਈ ॥

chhateeh amrit parakaar kareh bahu mail vadhaaee |

Eating the thirty-six delicacies, they become bloated with pollution.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋ ਦੇਵੈ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੑੀ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ॥੨੩॥

naanak jo devai tiseh na jaananaee manamukh dukh paaee |23|

O Nanak, the self-willed manmukh does not know the One who gives, and so he suffers in pain. ||23||
