Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 122

Rehnda kachhi kulli andar rukkhi missi khanda ey;
Sara din majoori karda paate kaprhe paanda ey.
Koi nahi usda aadar karda jitthe vi oh janda ey;
Dhan roop ton heena ey te nahin kise nun bhanda ey.
Koi na sangi sathi usda koi na ristedaar bane;
Kahe avtar duniya da raja je rab naal pyar bane.

No matter if one lives in a thatched hut and has frugal meals.
No matter if one does manual labor the whole day long and wears torn clothes;
No matter if one is not cared for wherever he goes;
No matter if one is bankrupt, is not handsome and is not liked by anyone.
No matter if none is his friend, companion or relative;
Avtar says, even such a person is king of the world, if he is able to love God.
