Kakkhan di oh kulli changi jis vich gurmukh rehnda ey; Gurmukh da har bol hai change gal jo gur di kehnda ey. Thaan suhava dharat suhavi jitthe gurmukh behnda ey; Gurmukh da har kamm pavittar jo kujh denda lainda ey. Mahlan de vich reh ke manmukh moh maya naal karda preet; Jo na dhyave nirankar nun dharti nun vi kare paleet. Dhan daulat naal chain na mann nun ro ro janda jeevan beet; Manmukh die y har shai jhoothi jhoothe nagme jhoothe geet. Gurmukh da har kamm pavittar manmukhan diyan karan ton; Kahe avtar ik vanaj hari da changa kull vaparan ton. |

Even a thatched hut in which a devotee lives, is auspicious; Every word of a devotee is auspicious, he says what he has been told by the True Master. Every place, every spot where the devotee sits is blissful; Every act of a devotee is pious and so are his dealings. A wayward lives in palaces, and has lust for worldly wealth; The one who does not remember the Formless God, only desecrates the earth. Worldly riches and wealth do not provide peace of mind, and the whole life goes bewailing; Everything belonging to the wayward is false, and so are his songs and lyrics. Every (small) act done by a devotee is pious, as against (big) enterprises of the wayward; Avtar says, divine dealing is better than any trade or business of this world. |
