nah tripatānō rāj jōbani dhani bahuri bahuri phiri dhāiā. sukhu pāiā trisanā sabh bujhī hai sānti pāī gun gāiā.੧.

 

The human being is (nah) not (triptaano) satisfied with his/her existing (raaj = rule) authority, (joban-i = youth) physical strength/beauty and (dhan-i) wealth; s/he (dhaaiaa) runs after them (bahur-i bahur-i) again and again – to have more than others.

The fire of (trisna) craving for (sabh) all things is (bujhi) quenched and (saa’nt-i) peace (paaee) attained (gaaiaa = singing) by praising and emulating (gun) Divine virtues. 1.

 

ਬਿਨੁ ਬੂਝੇ ਪਸੂ ਕੀ ਨਿਆਈ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਮੋਹਿ ਬਿਆਪਿਓ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਜਮ ਜੇਵਰੀ ਕਾਟੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੨॥੧੦॥

binu būjhē pasū kī niāī bhrami mōhi biāpiō māiā. sādhasaṅgi jam jēvarī kāṭī nānak sahaji samāiā.੨.੧੦.

 

The human being is (ki niaaee) like (pasoo) an animal (bin-u) without (boojhey) understanding Naam; and (biaapio) afflicted (bhram-i) by delusion caused by (moh-i) allurements of (maaiaa) the world-play.

(Saadhsang-i) the guru’s company/guidance (kaati = cut) obviates (jeyvri = rope) the noose of (jam) Divine justice, i.e. being caught in vices ends, and one remains (sahj-i) steadfastly (samaaiaa) absorbed in living by Naam, says fifth Nanak. 2. 10.

People perform (aneyk) numerous (kiriaa) rituals like (pun) good actions deemed to bring rewards, like (daan) charity, but for the devotee they are (samaaiaa) contained/deemed done by being (sang-i) in company of (saadhoo) the guru, i.e. most sublime deed is obedience to the guru.

(Taap santaap) maladies caused by vices (mittey = erased) end and (kaal-u) death does not (khaaey) consume, i.e. one does not succumb to vices, (bahurr-i) again, says fifth Nanak. 2. 11.
