They desert you even when you are alive, O madman; what good can they do when someone is dead?

Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!

You must be uncomfortable when those around you are unhappy; when you ease their discomfort, you are making them happy and making yourself happy, isn't it?

O sun, take away their sight; O rays, run after them; clinging to their feet, fasten yourselves upon them, when the strength of their arms is gone!

WHEN you scatter seeds on the surface of the soil, they do not germinate; you have to keep them inside the soil.

Desires are fulfilled, when one meets the True Guru; O Nanak, His humble servant is fruitful and prosperous.
