ਰਾਜ ਕਪਟੰ ਰੂਪ ਕਪਟੰ ਧਨ ਕਪਟੰ ਕੁਲ ਗਰਬਤਹ ॥

raaj kapattan roop kapattan dhan kapattan kul garabatah |

Power is fraudulent, beauty is fraudulent, and wealth is fraudulent, as is pride of ancestry.

ਸੰਚੰਤਿ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਛਲੰ ਛਿਦ੍ਰੰ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਨ ਚਾਲਤੇ ॥੧॥

sanchant bikhiaa chhalan chhidran naanak bin har sang na chaalate |1|

One may gather poison through deception and fraud, O Nanak, but without the Lord, nothing shall go along with him in the end. ||1||

ਪੇਖੰਦੜੋ ਕੀ ਭੁਲੁ ਤੁੰਮਾ ਦਿਸਮੁ ਸੋਹਣਾ ॥

pekhandarro kee bhul tunmaa disam sohanaa |

Beholding the bitter melon, he is deceived, since it appears so pretty

ਅਢੁ ਨ ਲਹੰਦੜੋ ਮੁਲੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਜੁਲਈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

adt na lahandarro mul naanak saath na julee maaeaa |2|

But it is not worth even a shell, O Nanak; the riches of Maya will not go along with anyone. ||2||
