Gauree, Fifth Mehla:
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, one's life is like that of a snake.
This is how the faithless cynic lives, forgetting the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||
One who lives in meditative remembrance, even for an instant,
lives for hundreds of thousands and millions of days, and becomes stable forever. ||1||Pause||
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, one's actions and works are cursed.
Like the crow's beak, he dwells in manure. ||2||
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, one acts like a dog.
The faithless cynic is nameless, like the prostitute's son. ||3||
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, one is like a horned ram.
The faithless cynic barks out his lies, and his face is blackened. ||4||
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, one is like a donkey.
The faithless cynic wanders around in polluted places. ||5||
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, one is like a mad dog.
The greedy, faithless cynic falls into entanglements. ||6||
Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, he murders his own soul.
The faithless cynic is wretched, without family or social standing. ||7||
When the Lord becomes merciful, one joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.
Says Nanak, the Guru has saved the world. ||8||7||
