ਪਉੜੀ ॥

paurree |

Pauree:

ਜਿਸੁ ਬਿਸਰਤ ਤਨੁ ਭਸਮ ਹੋਇ ਕਹਤੇ ਸਭਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਤੁ ॥

jis bisarat tan bhasam hoe kahate sabh pret |

Forgetting Him, one's body turns to dust, and everyone calls him a ghost.

ਖਿਨੁ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਮਹਿ ਬਸਨ ਨ ਦੇਵਹੀ ਜਿਨ ਸਿਉ ਸੋਈ ਹੇਤੁ ॥

khin grih meh basan na devahee jin siau soee het |

And those, with whom he was so much in love - they do not let him stay in their home, even for an instant.

ਕਰਿ ਅਨਰਥ ਦਰਬੁ ਸੰਚਿਆ ਸੋ ਕਾਰਜਿ ਕੇਤੁ ॥

kar anarath darab sanchiaa so kaaraj ket |

Practicing exploitation, he gathers wealth, but what use will it be in the end?

ਜੈਸਾ ਬੀਜੈ ਸੋ ਲੁਣੈ ਕਰਮ ਇਹੁ ਖੇਤੁ ॥

jaisaa beejai so lunai karam ihu khet |

As one plants, so does he harvest; the body is the field of actions.

ਅਕਿਰਤਘਣਾ ਹਰਿ ਵਿਸਰਿਆ ਜੋਨੀ ਭਰਮੇਤੁ ॥੪॥

akirataghanaa har visariaa jonee bharamet |4|

The ungrateful wretches forget the Lord, and wander in reincarnation. ||4||
