aude asat vich raaj kar chakravarat ghanere |

Many such kings are there whose kingdom extends from the point of sunrise to the point of sunset.

ਅਰਬ ਖਰਬ ਲੈ ਦਰਬ ਨਿਧਿ ਰਸ ਭੋਗਿ ਚੰਗੇਰੇ ।

arab kharab lai darab nidh ras bhog changere |

narapat surapat chhatrapat haumai vich ghere |

All these kings of mortals and gods are engrossed in their ego.

ਸਿਵ ਲੋਕਹੁਂ ਚੜ੍ਹਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਲੋਕ ਬੈਕੁੰਠ ਵਸੇਰੇ ।

siv lokahun charrh braham lok baikuntth vasere |

Rising from the abode of Siva they attain the abode of Brahma and Vaikunth, the heavens;

ਚਿਰਜੀਵਣੁ ਬਹੁ ਹੰਢਣਾ ਹੋਹਿ ਵਡੇ ਵਡੇਰੇ ।

chirajeevan bahu handtanaa hohi vadde vaddere |

Many other long-lived have also flourished,

But the pleasure fruit of gurmukhs is unapproachable and better than the best one.
