Gauree:

jio kap kae kar musatt chanan kee lubadhh n thiaag dhaeiou ||
Like the monkey with a handful of grain, who will not let go because of greed

jo jo krm kIey lwlc isau qy iPir grih pirE ]1]
jo jo karam keeeae laalach sio thae fir garehi pariou ||1||
- just so, all the deeds committed in greed ultimately become a noose around one's neck. ||1||

Bgiq ibnu ibrQy jnmu gieE ]
bhagath bin birathhae janam gaeiou ||
Without devotional worship, human life passes away in vain.

saadhhasa(n)gath bhagavaan bhajan bin kehee n sach rehiou ||1|| rehaao ||
Without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, without vibrating and meditating on the Lord God, one does not abide in Truth. ||1||Pause||

ijau auidAwn kusm prPuilq iknih n GRwau lieE ]
jio oudhiaan kusam parafulith kinehi n ghraao laeiou ||
Like the flower which blossoms in the wilderness with no one to enjoy its fragrance,

qYsy BRmq Anyk join mih iPir iPir kwl hieE ]2]
thaisae bhramath anaek jon mehi fir fir kaal haeiou ||2||
so do people wander in reincarnation; over and over again, they are destroyed by Death. ||2||

eiaa dhhan joban ar suth dhaaraa paekhan ko j dhaeiou ||
This wealth, youth, children and spouse which the Lord has given you - this is all just a passing show.

Those who are caught and entangled in these are carried away by sensual desire. ||3||

AauD Anl qnu iqn ko mMdru chu ids Twtu TieE ]
aoudhh anal than thin ko ma(n)dhar chahu dhis t(h)aatt t(h)aeiou ||
Age is the fire, and the body is the house of straw; on all four sides, this play is being played out.
