Ajamil, the fallen sinner lived with a prostitute.

ਗੁਰੁ ਤੇ ਬੇਮੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ ਪਾਪ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਦਹਿਆ ।

gur te bemukh hoe kai paap kamaavai duramat dahiaa |

He became an apostate. He was entangled in the cobweb of evil deeds.

ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ਭਵਜਲ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਫਿਰਦਾ ਵਹਿਆ ।

birathaa janam gavaaeaa bhavajal andar firadaa vahiaa |

His life was wasted in futile deeds and was tossed and thrown within the terrifying worldly ocean.

ਛਿਅ ਪੁਤ ਜਾਏ ਵੇਸੁਆ ਪਾਪਾ ਦੇ ਫਲ ਇਛੇ ਲਹਿਆ ।

chhia put jaae vesuaa paapaa de fal ichhe lahiaa |

While with the prostitute, he became the father of six sons. As a result of her bad deeds they all became dangerous robbers.

ਪੁਤੁ ਉਪੰਨਾਂ ਸਤਵਾਂ ਨਾਉ ਧਰਣ ਨੋ ਚਿਤਿ ਉਮਹਿਆ ।

A seventh son was born and he began to consider a name for the child.

He visited the Guru who named his son Narayan (a name for God).

ਅੰਤਕਾਲ ਜਮਦੂਤ ਵੇਖਿ ਪੁਤ ਨਰਾਇਣੁ ਬੋਲੈ ਛਹਿਆ ।

antakaal jamadoot vekh put naraaein bolai chhahiaa |

At the end of his life, seeing the messengers of death Ajamil cried for Narayan.

ਜਮ ਗਣ ਮਾਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਜਨਾਂ ਗਇਆ ਸੁਰਗ ਜਮੁ ਡੰਡੁ ਨ ਸਹਿਆ ।

jam gan maare har janaan geaa surag jam ddandd na sahiaa |

The name of God made the death messengers take to their heels. Ajamil went to heaven and did not suffer the beatings from the club of the messengers of death.

ਨਾਇ ਲਏ ਦੁਖੁ ਡੇਰਾ ਢਹਿਆ ।੨੦।

Utterance of Name of the Lord dispels all sorrow.
