But those who are attuned to the True Lord, are not reincarnated again. ||1||

ਨਿਤਨਿਤਖੁਸੀਆਮਨੁਕਰੇਨਿਤਨਿਤਮੰਗੈਸੁਖਜੀਉ॥
Constantly, continually, the mortal seeks pleasures. Constantly, continually, he begs for peace.
ਕਰਤਾਚਿਤਿਨਆਵਈਫਿਰਿਫਿਰਿਲਗਹਿਦੁਖਜੀਉ॥
But he does not think of the Creator Lord, and so he is overtaken by pain, again and again.
ਸੁਖਦੁਖਦਾਤਾਮਨਿਵਸੈਤਿਤੁਤਨਿਕੈਸੀਭੁਖਜੀਉ॥੪॥
But one, within whose mind the Giver of pleasure and pain dwells - how can his body feel any need? ||4||

Gazing upon the many games of love, you are beguiled and bewildered; you come and go in reincarnation.

Only by God's Grace can you be saved. By His Grace, He unites in His Union. ||6||

O careless one, you are totally lacking any wisdom; do not seek wisdom without the Guru.
ਖਿੰਚੋਤਾਣਿਵਿਗੁਚੀਐਬੁਰਾਭਲਾਦੁਇਨਾਲਿਜੀਉ॥
By indecision and inner conflict, you shall come to ruin. Good and bad both pull at you.

Without being attuned to the Word of the Shabad and the Fear of God, all come under the gaze of the Messenger of Death. ||7||
