ਅਨਿਤੵ ਵਿਤੰ ਅਨਿਤੵ ਚਿਤੰ ਅਨਿਤੵ ਆਸਾ ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰੰ ॥

anitay vitan anitay chitan anitay aasaa bahu bidh prakaaran |

Wealth is temporary; conscious existence is temporary; hopes of all sorts are temporary.

ਅਨਿਤੵ ਹੇਤੰ ਅਹੰ ਬੰਧੰ ਭਰਮ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਲਨੰ ਬਿਕਾਰੰ ॥

anitay hetan ahan bandhan bharam maaeaa malanan bikaaran |

The bonds of love, attachment, egotism, doubt, Maya and the pollution of corruption are temporary.

ਫਿਰੰਤ ਜੋਨਿ ਅਨੇਕ ਜਠਰਾਗਨਿ ਨਹ ਸਿਮਰੰਤ ਮਲੀਣ ਬੁਧੵੰ ॥

firant jon anek jattharaagan neh simarant maleen budhayan |

The mortal passes through the fire of the womb of reincarnation countless times. He does not remember the Lord in meditation; his understanding is polluted.

he gobind karat meaa naanak patit udhaaran saadh sangamah |16|

O Lord of the Universe, when You grant Your Grace, even sinners are saved. Nanak dwells in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||16||
