ਪਉੜੀ ॥
paurree |
Pauree:
ਮੋਹੁ ਕੂੜੁ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਹੈ ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਮੁਗਧੁ ਰਤਾ ॥
mohu koorr kuttanb hai manamukh mugadh rataa |
The foolish, self-willed manmukh is engrossed in false attachment to family.
ਹਉਮੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਕਰਿ ਮੁਏ ਕਿਛੁ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਲਿਤਾ ॥
haumai meraa kar mue kichh saath na litaa |
Practicing egotism and self-conceit, he dies and departs, taking nothing along with him.
ਸਿਰ ਉਪਰਿ ਜਮਕਾਲੁ ਨ ਸੁਝਈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿਤਾ ॥
sir upar jamakaal na sujhee doojai bharamitaa |
He does not understand that the Messenger of Death is hovering over his head; he is deluded by duality.
ਫਿਰਿ ਵੇਲਾ ਹਥਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਜਮਕਾਲਿ ਵਸਿ ਕਿਤਾ ॥
fir velaa hath na aavee jamakaal vas kitaa |
This opportunity will not come into his hands again; the Messenger of Death will seize him.
ਜੇਹਾ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਪਾਇਓਨੁ ਸੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਿਤਾ ॥੫॥
jehaa dhur likh paaeon se karam kamitaa |5|
He acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. ||5||
