ਪਉੜੀ ੫ ॥

paurree 5 |

Pauree, Fifth Mehl:

ਲੈ ਫਾਹੇ ਰਾਤੀ ਤੁਰਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ॥

lai faahe raatee tureh prabh jaanai praanee |

They take the noose in their hands, and go out at night to strangle others, but God knows everything, O mortal.

ਤਕਹਿ ਨਾਰਿ ਪਰਾਈਆ ਲੁਕਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਠਾਣੀ ॥

takeh naar paraaeea luk andar tthaanee |

They spy on other men's women, concealed in their hiding places.

ਸੰਨੑੀ ਦੇਨੑਿ ਵਿਖੰਮ ਥਾਇ ਮਿਠਾ ਮਦੁ ਮਾਣੀ ॥

sanaee dena vikham thaae mitthaa mad maanee |

They break into well-protected places, and revel in sweet wine.

ਕਰਮੀ ਆਪੋ ਆਪਣੀ ਆਪੇ ਪਛੁਤਾਣੀ ॥

karamee aapo aapanee aape pachhutaanee |

But they shall come to regret their actions - they create their own karma.

ਅਜਰਾਈਲੁ ਫਰੇਸਤਾ ਤਿਲ ਪੀੜੇ ਘਾਣੀ ॥੨੭॥

ajaraaeel faresataa til peerre ghaanee |27|

Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, shall crush them like sesame seeds in the oil-press. ||27||
