24

1Siree Raag, First Mehla, Third House:

2Make good deeds the soil, and let the Word of the Shabad be the seed; irrigate it continually with the water of Truth.

3Become such a farmer, and faith will sprout. This brings knowledge of heaven and hell, you fool! ||1||

4Do not think that your Husband Lord can be obtained by mere words.

5You are wasting this life in the pride of wealth and the splendor of beauty. ||1||Pause||

6The defect of the body which leads to sin is the mud puddle, and this mind is the frog, which does not appreciate the lotus flower at all.

7The bumble bee is the teacher who continually teaches the lesson. But how can one understand, unless one is made to understand? ||2||

8This speaking and listening is like the song of the wind, for those whose minds are colored by the love of Maya.

9The Grace of the Master is bestowed upon those who meditate on Him alone. They are pleasing to His Heart. ||3||

10You may observe the thirty fasts, and say the five prayers each day, but 'Satan' can undo them.

11Says Nanak, you will have to walk on the Path of Death, so why do you bother to collect wealth and property? ||4||27||

12Siree Raag, First Mehla, Fourth House:

13He is the Master who has made the world bloom; He makes the Universe blossom forth, fresh and green.

14He holds the water and the land in bondage. Hail to the Creator Lord! ||1||

15Death, O Mullah-death will come,

16so live in the Fear of God the Creator. ||1||Pause||

17You are a Mullah, and you are a Qazi, only when you know the Naam, the Name of God.

18You may be very educated, but no one can remain when the measure of life is full. ||2||

19He alone is a Qazi, who renounces selfishness and conceit, and makes the One Name his Support.

20The True Creator Lord is, and shall always be. He was not born; He shall not die. ||3||

21You may chant your prayers five times each day; you may read the Bible and the Koran.

22Says Nanak, the grave is calling you, and now your food and drink are finished. ||4||28||

23Siree Raag, First Mehla, Fourth House:

24The dogs of greed are with me.

25In the early morning, they continually bark at the wind.

26Falsehood is my dagger; through deception, I eat the carcasses of the dead.

27I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||1||

28I have not followed good advice, nor have I done good deeds.

29I am deformed and horribly disfigured.

30Your Name alone, Lord, saves the world.

31This is my hope; this is my support. ||1||Pause||

32With my mouth I speak slander, day and night.

33I spy on the houses of others-I am such a wretched low-life!

34Unfulfilled sexual desire and unresolved anger dwell in my body, like the outcasts who cremate the dead.

35I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||2||

36I make plans to trap others, although I appear gentle.

37I am a robber-I rob the world.

38I am very clever-I carry loads of sin.

39I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||3||

40I have not appreciated what You have done for me, Lord; I take from others and exploit them.

41What face shall I show You, Lord? I am a sneak and a thief.

42Nanak describes the state of the lowly.

43I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||4||29||

44Siree Raag, First Mehla, Fourth House:

45There is one awareness among all created beings.

46None have been created without this awareness.
