Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 183

|
Maya de rang roop nun tak ke jehrhe bande bhull gaye;
Ambron tutte tare vangoo mitti de vich rul gaye.
Dheeaan puttar te gharwali paap jinhan lai karda eyn;
Wal chhal karke din te ratin pet jinhan de bharda eyn.
Lakh karorhi maya jorhi haul dilan nun painda ey;
Dhari dharai rehndi ethe saar na koi lainda ey.
Is maya ne ethe rehna naal naam ne jana ey;
Santan denai daan naam da jisne ant chhurhana ey.
Chhad ke sare jhoothe dhandhe apni vi toon kar pehchan;
Kithon aayen kithe janain avtar guru ton ghar nun jaan.

Those who got swayed by the glamour of material wealth;
They perished like a star that breaks away from the sky.
The sons, daughters and the wife for whom the man commits sins;
Whom he feeds committing several acts of deception day and night.
Man amasses wealth in lakhs and crosses, and feels horrified while losing it;
All this shall stay behind, and nothing comes to his rescue.
All this wealth is bound to be left behind, only the Divine name (God) shall accompany you;
The Divine Name is to be bestowed by the true saints, which shall save you from the clutches of death.
Leaving aside all false pursuits, you should realize your true self;
Avtar says, you must know from the True Master the abode, from where you came and where you shall eventually go.
