Pauree:

ਜੰਮਣੁ ਮਰਣੁ ਨ ਤਿਨੑ ਕਉ ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਲੜਿ ਲਾਗੇ ॥

jaman maran na tina kau jo har larr laage |

Those who are attached to the hem of the Lord's robe, do not suffer birth and death.

ਜੀਵਤ ਸੇ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਹੋਏ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਨਿ ਜਾਗੇ ॥

jeevat se paravaan hoe har keeratan jaage |

Those who remain awake to the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises - their lives are approved.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗੁ ਜਿਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੇਈ ਵਡਭਾਗੇ ॥

saadhasang jin paaeaa seee vaddabhaage |

Those who attain the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, are very fortunate.

ਨਾਇ ਵਿਸਰਿਐ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਤੂਟੇ ਕਚ ਧਾਗੇ ॥

naae visariai dhrig jeevanaa tootte kach dhaage |

But those who forget the Name - their lives are cursed, and broken like thin strands of thread.

ਨਾਨਕ ਧੂੜਿ ਪੁਨੀਤ ਸਾਧ ਲਖ ਕੋਟਿ ਪਿਰਾਗੇ ॥੧੬॥

naanak dhoorr puneet saadh lakh kott piraage |16|

O Nanak, the dust of the feet of the Holy is more sacred than hundreds of thousands, even millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines. ||16||
