7th PAURI transforms greed for power, control and territory
jay jug chaaray aarjaa hor dasoonee ho-ay. |
Even if you lived the four ages, or even ten times more, |
navaa khanda vich jaanee-ai naal chalai sabh ko-ay. |
and even if you were known throughout the nine continents and everyone followed you, |
changa naa-o rakhaa-ay kai jas keerat jag lay-ay. |
with a good name and reputation, the whole world sang your praises – |
jay tis nadar na aavee ta vaat na puchhai kay. |
still, if you do not please the Lord, no one will ask about you! |
keetaa andar keet kar dosee dos Dharay. |
Among worms, you would be considered a lowly worm, and even contemptible sinners would hold you in contempt. |
naanak nirgun gun karay gunvanti-aa gun day. |
O Nanak, He makes unworthy, worthy and gives virtues to the virtuous. |
tayhaa ko-ay na sujh-ee je tis gun ko-ay karay. |
I know of no other who can grant so much to others! |
Namaste!
