ਪਉੜੀ ॥

paurree |

Pauree:

ਤੁਰੇ ਪਲਾਣੇ ਪਉਣ ਵੇਗ ਹਰ ਰੰਗੀ ਹਰਮ ਸਵਾਰਿਆ ॥

ture palaane paun veg har rangee haram savaariaa |

With saddled horses, as fast as the wind, and harems decorated in every way;

ਕੋਠੇ ਮੰਡਪ ਮਾੜੀਆ ਲਾਇ ਬੈਠੇ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਸਾਰਿਆ ॥

kotthe manddap maarreea laae baitthe kar paasaariaa |

in houses and pavilions and lofty mansions, they dwell, making ostentatious shows.

ਚੀਜ ਕਰਨਿ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵਦੇ ਹਰਿ ਬੁਝਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਹਾਰਿਆ ॥

cheej karan man bhaavade har bujhan naahee haariaa |

They act out their minds' desires, but they do not understand the Lord, and so they are ruined.

ਕਰਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਸਿ ਖਾਇਆ ਵੇਖਿ ਮਹਲਤਿ ਮਰਣੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆ ॥

kar furamaaeis khaaeaa vekh mahalat maran visaariaa |

Asserting their authority, they eat, and beholding their mansions, they forget about death.

ਜਰੁ ਆਈ ਜੋਬਨਿ ਹਾਰਿਆ ॥੧੭॥

jar aaee joban haariaa |17|

But old age comes, and youth is lost. ||17||
