Give up your envy of others, you fool!

You only live here for a night, you fool!

You are intoxicated with Maya, but you must soon arise and depart.

You are totally involved in the dream. ||1||Pause||

In his childhood, the child is blind.

In the fullness of youth, he is involved in foul-smelling sins.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 015

In the third stage of life, he gathers the wealth of Maya.

And when he grows old, he must leave all this; he departs regretting and repenting. ||2||

After a very long time, one obtains this precious human body, so difficult to obtain.

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, it is reduced to dust.

Worse than a beast, a demon or an idiot,

is that one who does not understand who created him. ||3||

Listen, O Creator Lord, Lord of the Universe, Lord of the World,

Merciful to the meek, forever compassionate

- If You emancipate the human, then his bonds are broken.

O Nanak, the people of world are blind; please, Lord, forgive them, and unite them with Yourself. ||4||12||23||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Joining the elements together, the robe of the body is fashioned.

The ignorant fool is engrossed in it.

He cherishes it, and constantly takes care of it.

But at the very last moment, he must arise and depart. ||1||

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, everything is false, O mortal.

Those who do not vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the Universe, but instead are imbued with other things, - all those mortals are plundered by Maya. ||1||Pause||

Bathing at sacred shrines of pilgrimage, filth is not washed off.

Religious rituals are all just egotistical displays.

By pleasing and appeasing people, no one is saved.

Without the Naam, they shall depart weeping. ||2||

Without the Lord's Name, the screen is not torn away.

I have studied all the Shaastras and Simritees.

He alone chants the Naam, whom the Lord Himself inspires to chant.

He obtains all fruits and rewards, and merges in peace. ||3||

O Savior Lord, please save me!

All peace and comforts are in Your Hand, God.

Whatever you attach me to, to that I am attached, O my Lord and Master.

O Nanak, the Lord is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||4||13||24||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Whatever He does makes me happy.

The ignorant mind is encouraged, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

Now, it does not waver at all; it has become stable and steady.

Receiving Truth, it is merged in the True Lord. ||1||

Pain is gone, and all illness is gone.

I have accepted the Will of God in my mind, associating with the Great Person, the Guru. ||1||Pause||

All is pure; all is immaculate.

Whatever exists is good.
