ਪੀਰ ਪੈਕੰਬਰ ਔਲੀਏ ਗੌਸ ਕੁਤਬ ਉਲਮਾਉ ਘਨੇਰੇ ।

peer paikanbar aaualee gauas kutab ulamaau ghanere |

Many are the pirs, prophets, auliyas, gauris, qutubs and ulemas (all spiritual designations among Muslims).

ਸੇਖ ਮਸਾਇਕ ਸਾਦਕਾ ਸੁਹਦੇ ਔਰ ਸਹੀਦ ਬਹੁਤੇਰੇ ।

sekh masaaeik saadakaa suhade aauar saheed bahutere |

Many shaikhs, sadiks(contented ones), and martyrs are there. Many are Qazis mullahs, maulavis (all Muslim religious and judicial designations).

ਕਾਜੀ ਮੁਲਾਂ ਮਉਲਵੀ ਮੁਫਤੀ ਦਾਨਸਵੰਦ ਬੰਦੇਰੇ ।

kaajee mulaan maulavee mufatee daanasavand bandere |

(Similarly among the Hindus) Rsis, munis, Jain Digambars (Jain naked ascetics) and many miracle-makers knowing black magic are also known in this world.

ਰਿਖੀ ਮੁਨੀ ਦਿਗੰਬਰਾਂ ਕਾਲਖ ਕਰਾਮਾਤ ਅਗਲੇਰੇ ।

rikhee munee diganbaraan kaalakh karaamaat agalere |

Innumerable are the practising, siddhs (yogis) who publicise themselves as great persons.

ਸਾਧਿਕ ਸਿਧਿ ਅਗਣਤ ਹੈਨਿ ਆਪ ਜਣਾਇਨਿ ਵਡੇ ਵਡੇਰੇ ।

saadhik sidh aganat hain aap janaaein vadde vaddere |

None gets liberated without the true Guru without whom their ego goes on increasing further,

ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਸਿਝਈ ਹਉਮੈਂ ਵਧਦੀ ਜਾਇ ਵਧੇਰੇ ।

bin gur koe na sijhee haumain vadhadee jaae vadhere |

Without holy congregation, the sense of ego stares at the jtv menacingly,

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਹੇਰੇ ।੮।

saadhasangat bin haumai here |8|

I am sacrifice unto this trancendental Brahm in the form of true Guru.
