ਪਉੜੀ ॥
paurree |
Pauree:
ਤੁਰੇ ਪਲਾਣੇ ਪਉਣ ਵੇਗ ਹਰ ਰੰਗੀ ਹਰਮ ਸਵਾਰਿਆ ॥
ture palaane paun veg har rangee haram savaariaa |
With saddled horses, as fast as the wind, and harems decorated in every way;
ਕੋਠੇ ਮੰਡਪ ਮਾੜੀਆ ਲਾਇ ਬੈਠੇ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਸਾਰਿਆ ॥
kotthe manddap maarreea laae baitthe kar paasaariaa |
in houses and pavilions and lofty mansions, they dwell, making ostentatious shows.
ਚੀਜ ਕਰਨਿ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵਦੇ ਹਰਿ ਬੁਝਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਹਾਰਿਆ ॥
cheej karan man bhaavade har bujhan naahee haariaa |
They act out their minds' desires, but they do not understand the Lord, and so they are ruined.
ਕਰਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਸਿ ਖਾਇਆ ਵੇਖਿ ਮਹਲਤਿ ਮਰਣੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆ ॥
kar furamaaeis khaaeaa vekh mahalat maran visaariaa |
Asserting their authority, they eat, and beholding their mansions, they forget about death.
ਜਰੁ ਆਈ ਜੋਬਨਿ ਹਾਰਿਆ ॥੧੭॥
jar aaee joban haariaa |17|
But old age comes, and youth is lost. ||17||
