ਰਾਤਿ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰੀ ਦੇਖਦੇ ਬੋਲੁ ਕੁਬੋਲੁ ਅਬੋਲੁ ਖਲੋਂਦੇ।

Raati Anhayree Daykhaday Bolu Kubol Abol Khalonday |

They see only in the dark night. They keep silent but as and when they speak their sound is evil.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅੰਨ੍ਹੇ ਰਾਤਿ ਦਿਹੁਂ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਵਿਹੂਣੇ ਚਕੀ ਝੋਂਦੇ।

Manamukh Annhay Raati Dihun Surati Vihoonay Chakee Jhonday |

Manmukhs also remain blind day and night and being devoid of consciousness go on operating the quern of discord.

ਅਉਗੁਣ ਚੁਣਿ ਚੁਣਿ ਛਡਿ ਗੁਣ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਹੀਰੇ ਫਟਕ ਪਰੋਂਦੇ।

Augun Chuni Chuni Chhadi Gun Prahari Heeray Dhatak Paronday |

They pick up demerits and leave out merits; they reject the diamond and prepare the string of stones.

ਨਾਉ ਸੁਜਾਖੇ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਿਆਂ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਦ ਮਤਵਾਲੇ ਰੋਂਦੇ।

Naau Sujaakhay Annhiaan Maaiaa Mad Matavaalay Ronday |

These blind ones are called sujOns, the learned and intelligent ones. Inebrigated with the pride of their wealth they wail and weep.

ਕਾਮ ਕਰੋਧ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਵਿਚਿ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਲੇ ਭਰਿ ਭਰਿ ਧੋਂਦੇ।

Kaam Karodh Virodh Vichi Chaaray Palay Bhari Bhari Dhonday |

Engrossed in lust, anger and antagonism they wash the four corners of their stained sheet.

ਪਥਰ ਪਾਪ ਨ ਛੁਟਹਿ ਢੋਂਦੇ ॥੧੯॥

Pathhar Paap N Chhutahi Ddhonday ||19 ||

They never get liberated from carrying the load of their stony sins.
