Pauree:
ਦਾਨੁ ਮਹਿੰਡਾ ਤਲੀ ਖਾਕੁ ਜੇ ਮਿਲੈ ਤ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਲਾਈਐ ॥
daan mahinddaa talee khaak je milai ta masatak laaeeai |
The gift I seek is the dust of the feet of the Saints; if I were to obtain it, I would apply it to my forehead.
ਕੂੜਾ ਲਾਲਚੁ ਛਡੀਐ ਹੋਇ ਇਕ ਮਨਿ ਅਲਖੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥
koorraa laalach chhaddeeai hoe ik man alakh dhiaaeeai |
Renounce false greed, and meditate single-mindedly on the unseen Lord.
ਫਲੁ ਤੇਵੇਹੋ ਪਾਈਐ ਜੇਵੇਹੀ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਈਐ ॥
fal teveho paaeeai jevehee kaar kamaaeeai |
As are the actions we commit, so are the rewards we receive.
ਜੇ ਹੋਵੈ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਤਾ ਧੂੜਿ ਤਿਨੑਾ ਦੀ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
je hovai poorab likhiaa taa dhoorr tinaa dee paaeeai |
If it is so pre-ordained, then one obtains the dust of the feet of the Saints.
ਮਤਿ ਥੋੜੀ ਸੇਵ ਗਵਾਈਐ ॥੧੦॥
mat thorree sev gavaaeeai |10|
But through small-mindedness, we forfeit the merits of selfless service. ||10||
