Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

ਰੂਪ ਰੰਗ ਸੁਗੰਧ ਭੋਗ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਚਲੇ ਮਾਇਆ ਛਲੇ ਕਨਿਕ ਕਾਮਿਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

roop rang sugandh bhog tiaag chale maaeaa chhale kanik kaaminee |1| rahaau |

You must abandon your beauty, pleasures, fragrances and enjoyments; beguiled by gold and sexual desire, you must still leave Maya behind. ||1||Pause||

ਭੰਡਾਰ ਦਰਬ ਅਰਬ ਖਰਬ ਪੇਖਿ ਲੀਲਾ ਮਨੁ ਸਧਾਰੈ ॥

bhanddaar darab arab kharab pekh leelaa man sadhaarai |

You gaze upon billions and trillions of treasures and riches, which delight and comfort your mind,

ਨਹ ਸੰਗਿ ਗਾਮਨੀ ॥੧॥

neh sang gaamanee |1|

but these will not go along with you. ||1||

ਸੁਤ ਕਲਤ੍ਰ ਭ੍ਰਾਤ ਮੀਤ ਉਰਝਿ ਪਰਿਓ ਭਰਮਿ ਮੋਹਿਓ ਇਹ ਬਿਰਖ ਛਾਮਨੀ ॥

sut kalatr bhraat meet urajh pario bharam mohio ih birakh chhaamanee |

Entangled with children, spouse, siblings and friends, you are enticed and fooled; these pass like the shadow of a tree.

ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਸਰਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਖੁ ਸੰਤ ਭਾਵਨੀ ॥੨॥੨॥੬੦॥

charan kamal saran naanak sukh sant bhaavanee |2|2|60|

Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of His lotus feet; He has found peace in the faith of the Saints. ||2||2||60||
