ਪਉੜੀ ॥

paurree |

Pauree:

ਬਾਹਰਿ ਭਸਮ ਲੇਪਨ ਕਰੇ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਗੁਬਾਰੀ ॥

baahar bhasam lepan kare antar gubaaree |

You smear your outer body with ashes, but within, you are filled with darkness.

ਖਿੰਥਾ ਝੋਲੀ ਬਹੁ ਭੇਖ ਕਰੇ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੀ ॥

khinthaa jholee bahu bhekh kare duramat ahankaaree |

You wear the patched coat and all the right clothes and robes, but you are still egotistical and proud.

ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਊਚਰੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਪਸਾਰੀ ॥

saahib sabad na aoocharai maaeaa moh pasaaree |

You do not chant the Shabad, the Word of Your Lord and Master; you are attached to the expanse of Maya.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਲਾਲਚੁ ਭਰਮੁ ਹੈ ਭਰਮੈ ਗਾਵਾਰੀ ॥

antar laalach bharam hai bharamai gaavaaree |

Within, you are filled with greed and doubt; you wander around like a fool.

ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਈ ਜੂਐ ਬਾਜੀ ਹਾਰੀ ॥੧੪॥

naanak naam na chetee jooai baajee haaree |14|

Says Nanak, you never even think of the Naam; you have lost the game of life in the gamble. ||14||
