ਉਦਿਆਨ ਬਸਨੰ ਸੰਸਾਰੰ ਸਨਬੰਧੀ ਸ੍ਵਾਨ ਸਿਆਲ ਖਰਹ ॥
audiaan basanan sansaaran sanabandhee svaan siaal kharah |
Living in the world, it is like a wild jungle. One's relatives are like dogs, jackals and donkeys.
ਬਿਖਮ ਸਥਾਨ ਮਨ ਮੋਹ ਮਦਿਰੰ ਮਹਾਂ ਅਸਾਧ ਪੰਚ ਤਸਕਰਹ ॥
bikham sathaan man moh madiran mahaan asaadh panch tasakarah |
In this difficult place, the mind is intoxicated with the wine of emotional attachment; the five unconquered thieves lurk there.
ਹੀਤ ਮੋਹ ਭੈ ਭਰਮ ਭ੍ਰਮਣੰ ਅਹੰ ਫਾਂਸ ਤੀਖੵਣ ਕਠਿਨਹ ॥
heet moh bhai bharam bhramanan ahan faans teekhayan katthinah |
The mortals wander lost in love and emotional attachment, fear and doubt; they are caught in the sharp, strong noose of egotism.
ਪਾਵਕ ਤੋਅ ਅਸਾਧ ਘੋਰੰ ਅਗਮ ਤੀਰ ਨਹ ਲੰਘਨਹ ॥
paavak toa asaadh ghoran agam teer neh langhanah |
The ocean of fire is terrifying and impassable. The distant shore is so far away; it cannot be reached.
ਭਜੁ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਗੋੁਪਾਲ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਸਰਣ ਉਧਰਣ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ॥੫੮॥
bhaj saadhasang goupaal naanak har charan saran udharan kripaa |58|
Vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the World, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; O Nanak, by His Grace, we are saved at the Lotus Feet of the Lord. ||58||
