Pauree:

ਸਚੁ ਧਿਆਇਨਿ ਸੇ ਸਚੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥

sach dhiaaein se sache gur sabad veechaaree |

Those who meditate on the True Lord are true; they contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰਿ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰੀ ॥

haumai maar man niramalaa har naam ur dhaaree |

They subdue their ego, purify their minds, and enshrine the Lord's Name within their hearts.

ਕੋਠੇ ਮੰਡਪ ਮਾੜੀਆ ਲਗਿ ਪਏ ਗਾਵਾਰੀ ॥

kotthe manddap maarreea lag pe gaavaaree |

The fools are attached to their homes, mansions and balconies.

ਜਿਨੑਿ ਕੀਏ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਗੁਬਾਰੀ ॥

jina kee tiseh na jaananee manamukh gubaaree |

The self-willed manmukhs are caught in darkness; they do not know the One who created them.

ਜਿਸੁ ਬੁਝਾਇਹਿ ਸੋ ਬੁਝਸੀ ਸਚਿਆ ਕਿਆ ਜੰਤ ਵਿਚਾਰੀ ॥੮॥

jis bujhaaeihi so bujhasee sachiaa kiaa jant vichaaree |8|

He alone understands, whom the True Lord causes to understand; what can the helpless creatures do? ||8||
