ਸਾਚੌ ਉਪਜੈ ਸਾਚਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਸਾਚੇ ਸੂਚੇ ਏਕ ਮਇਆ ॥

saachau upajai saach samaavai saache sooche ek meaa |

We emerge from Truth, and merge into Truth again. The pure being merges into the One True Lord.

ਝੂਠੇ ਆਵਹਿ ਠਵਰ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਆਵਾ ਗਉਣੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

jhootthe aaveh tthavar na paaveh doojai aavaa gaun bheaa |

The false come, and find no place of rest; in duality, they come and go.

ਆਵਾ ਗਉਣੁ ਮਿਟੈ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਆਪੇ ਪਰਖੈ ਬਖਸਿ ਲਇਆ ॥

aavaa gaun mittai gurasabadee aape parakhai bakhas leaa |

This coming and going in reincarnation is ended through the Word of the Guru's Shabad; the Lord Himself analyzes and grants His forgiveness.

ਏਕਾ ਬੇਦਨ ਦੂਜੈ ਬਿਆਪੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਸਾਇਣੁ ਵੀਸਰਿਆ ॥

ekaa bedan doojai biaapee naam rasaaein veesariaa |

One who suffers from the disease of duality, forgets the Naam, the source of nectar.

ਸੋ ਬੂਝੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁ ਮੁਕਤੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

so boojhai jis aap bujhaae gur kai sabad su mukat bheaa |

He alone understands, whom the Lord inspires to understand. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one is liberated.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾਰੇ ਤਾਰਣਹਾਰਾ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਪਰਹਰਿਆ ॥੨੫॥

naanak taare taaranahaaraa haumai doojaa parahariaa |25|

O Nanak, the Emancipator emancipates one who drives out egotism and duality. ||25||

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਭੂਲੈ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਕਾਣਿ ॥

manamukh bhoolai jam kee kaan |

The self-willed manmukhs are deluded, under the shadow of death.

ਪਰ ਘਰੁ ਜੋਹੈ ਹਾਣੇ ਹਾਣਿ ॥

par ghar johai haane haan |

They look into the homes of others, and lose.

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਭਰਮਿ ਭਵੈ ਬੇਬਾਣਿ ॥

manamukh bharam bhavai bebaan |

The manmukhs are confused by doubt, wandering in the wilderness.

ਵੇਮਾਰਗਿ ਮੂਸੈ ਮੰਤ੍ਰਿ ਮਸਾਣਿ ॥

vemaarag moosai mantr masaan |

Having lost their way, they are plundered; they chant their mantras at cremation grounds.

ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਚੀਨੈ ਲਵੈ ਕੁਬਾਣਿ ॥

sabad na cheenai lavai kubaan |

They do not think of the Shabad; instead, they utter obscenities.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਜਾਣਿ ॥੨੬॥

naanak saach rate sukh jaan |26|

O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Truth know peace. ||26||
