ੴ

Salok:

For his family, he works very hard; for the sake of Maya, he makes countless efforts.

But without loving devotional worship of the Lord, O Nanak, he forgets God, and then, he is a mere ghost. ||1||

That love shall break, which is established with any other than the Lord.

O Nanak, that way of life is true, which inspires love of the Lord. ||2||

Pauree:

Forgetting Him, one's body turns to dust, and everyone calls him a ghost.

And those, with whom he was so much in love - they do not let him stay in their home, even for an instant.

Practicing exploitation, he gathers wealth, but what use will it be in the end?

As one plants, so does he harvest; the body is the field of actions.

The ungrateful wretches forget the Lord, and wander in reincarnation. ||4||
