ੴ

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

He gets up early, to do his evil deeds,

but when it is time to meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, then he sleeps. ||1||

The ignorant person does not take advantage of the opportunity.

He is attached to Maya, and engrossed in worldly delights. ||1||Pause||

He rides the waves of greed, puffed up with joy.

He does not see the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the Holy. ||2||

The ignorant clown will never understand.

Again and again, he becomes engrossed in entanglements. ||1||Pause||

He listens to the sounds of sin and the music of corruption, and he is pleased.

His mind is too lazy to listen to the Praises of the Lord. ||3||

You do not see with your eyes - you are so blind!

You shall have to leave all these false affairs. ||1||Pause||

Says Nanak, please forgive me, God.

Have Mercy upon me, and bless me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||4||

He alone obtains something, who becomes the dust under the feet of all.

And he alone repeats the Naam, whom God causes to understand. ||1||Pause||2||8||
