Manmukhhan di eho nishani maya vich rehnde galtaan; Manmukhhan di eho nishani poojan jehrhe marhi masaan. Manmukhhan di eho nishani kanchan kaamani pichchhe marde; Manmukhhan di eho nishani din te ratin chatty bharde. Manmukhhan di eho nishani haumen de vich rehnde choor; Manmukhhan di eho nishani saadhjanan ton rehnde door. Manmukhhan di eho nishani sut dara naal karde pyar; Manmukhhan di eho nishani vissar jande ne nirankar. Dukhan marya manmukh har dam karda rehnda haal pukar; Kahe avtar juaari vangoon janam amolak janda haar. |

The sign of the wayward is that they are always engrossed in the material world; The sign of the wayward is that they worship the graves and the funeral places; The sign of the wayward is that they suffer from lust and mammon; The sign of the wayward is that they toil day and night without any reward; The sign of the wayward is that they are always obsessed by ego; The sign of the wayward is that they always stay away from saints; The sign of the wayward is that they love only their own, kith and kin; The sign of the wayward is that they forget the Formless God. The distressed wayward always keeps on bemoaning and crying; Avtar says, like a gambler, he loses the precious game of life at last. |
