O’ God, Your devotee then got drenched with the nectar of Naam which fell like rain after the storm of divine knowledge.
Ee Mungu, kisha mtawa wako alilowa kwa nekta ya Naam iliyomwagika kama mvua baada ya dhoruba ya maarifa takatifu.

har jas suneh na har gun gaavahi.
There are some people who do not sing or listen to God’s praises,
Kuna watu wengine ambao hawaimbi wala kusikiliza sifa za Mungu,
ਬਾਤਨ ਹੀ ਅਸਮਾਨੁ ਗਿਰਾਵਹਿ ॥੧॥
baatan hee asmaan giraaveh. ||1||
but just by mere talk they claim to perform miracles as if they can bring down the sky with their talks. ||1||
lakini kwa matamshi bure wanadai kutenda miujiza kana kwamba wanaweza kushusha anga kwa matamshi yao.
ਐਸੇ ਲੋਗਨ ਸਿਉ ਕਿਆ ਕਹੀਐ ॥
aisay logan si-o ki-aa kahee-ai.
There is no use trying to instill some sense into such people,
Hakuna manufaa kwa kujaribu kufanya waungwana watu kama hao,

ਆਪਿ ਨ ਦੇਹਿ ਚੁਰੂ ਭਰਿ ਪਾਨੀ ॥
aap na deh churoo bhar paanee.
They themselves do no charity; they will not offer even a cup of water to anyone,
Wao wenyewe hawafanyi hisani yoyote; hawatatoa hata kikombe cha maji kwa yeyote,
ਤਿਹ ਨਿੰਦਹਿ ਜਿਹ ਗੰਗਾ ਆਨੀ ॥੨॥
tih nindeh jih gangaa aanee. ||2||
but they would slander those who perform great acts of charity like diverting rivers for the benefit of others.||2||
lakini wanaweza kuchongeza wale wanaotenda vitendo vikuu kama kugeuza mikondo ya mito kwa manufaa ya wengine.
ਬੈਠਤ ਉਠਤ ਕੁਟਿਲਤਾ ਚਾਲਹਿ ॥
baithat uthat kutiltaa chaaleh.
All the time they keep playing treacherous games.
Wakati wote wanaendelea kucheza michezo yenye hila.
ਆਪੁ ਗਏ ਅਉਰਨ ਹੂ ਘਾਲਹਿ ॥੩॥
aap ga-ay a-uran hoo ghaaleh. ||3||
Not only they have become worthless but they ruin others as well. ||3||

aag lagaa-ay mandar mai soveh. ||5||
They commit sins without thinking about the consequences: It is like sleeping in the house after setting it on fire. ||5||
Wanatenda dhambi bila kufikiria kuhusu matokeo yake: ni kama kulala katika nyumba baada ya kuitia moto.
ਅਵਰਨ ਹਸਤ ਆਪ ਹਹਿ ਕਾਂਨੇ ॥
avran hasat aap heh kaaNnay.
They point out even the slightest weakness of others while they themselves are full of faults.
Wanaashiria hata udhaifu mdogo kabisa wa wengine ilhali wao wenyewe wamejawa na makosa.

Tell me, how can the poor ancestors receive what the crows and the dogs have eaten up? ||1||
Niambie, wahenga maskini watawezaje kupokea kile ambacho kunguru na mbwa wamekula?
ਮੋ ਕਉ ਕੁਸਲੁ ਬਤਾਵਹੁ ਕੋਈ ॥

If only someone would tell me what real happiness or ecstasy is!
Iwapo tu mtu angeniambia kile ambacho ni furaha au raha kuu ya kweli!

Speaking of happiness and bliss, the entire world is perishing and no one knows how to attain this bliss? ||1||Pause||

ਮਾਟੀ ਕੇ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇਵਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਗੈ ਜੀਉ ਦੇਹੀ ॥
maatee kay kar dayvee dayvaa tis aagai jee-o dayhee.
People sacrifice animals such as goats etc to the clay idols of the angels for the benefit of their ancestors.
Watu wanatoa dhabihu wanyama kama mbuzi na kadhalika kwa sanamu za udongo za malaika kwa manufaa ya wahenga wao.
ਐਸੇ ਪਿਤਰ ਤੁਮਾਰੇ ਕਹੀਅਹਿ ਆਪਨ ਕਹਿਆ ਨ ਲੇਹੀ ॥੨॥
aisay pitar tumaaray kahee-ahi aapan kahi-aa na layhee. ||2||
Such are your ancestors who cannot even ask for what they want. ||2||
Ndivyo walivyo wahenga wenu ambao hawawezi hata kuulizia wanachotaka.

dayvee dayvaa poojeh doleh paarbarahm nahee jaanaa.
Instead of realizing the supreme God, people worship gods and goddesses and remain wavering in their faith
Badala ya kugundua Mungu mkuu, watu wanaabudu miungu na miungu-kike na wanaendelea kuyumba katika imani yao
ਕਹਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਅਕੁਲੁ ਨਹੀ ਚੇਤਿਆ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਸਿਉ ਲਪਟਾਨਾ ॥੪॥੧॥੪੫॥
kahat kabeer akul nahee chayti-aa bikhi-aa si-o laptaanaa.||4||1||45||

Raag Gauree:
ਜੀਵਤ ਮਰੈ ਮਰੈ ਫੁਨਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਐਸੇ ਸੁੰਨਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥
jeevat marai marai fun jeevai aisay sunn samaa-i-aa.
One who so detaches oneself from worldly entanglements that for all practical purposes he is dead to the world, he then lives a life free of worldly distractions.
Yule ambaye anajitenganisha kutoka misongamano ya kidunia kwamba kwa makusudi yote ya kiutendaji amekufa kidunia, yeye kisha anaishi maisha akiwa huru kutoka vigeuza akili vya kidunia.
ਅੰਜਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਨਿਰੰਜਨਿ ਰਹੀਐ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਭਵਜਲਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
anjan maahi niranjan rahee-ai bahurh na bhavjal paa-i-aa. ||1||
While still living among the temptations of Maya, he remains detached from these and doesn’t fall into the dreadful ocean of worldly existence again. |1|
Wakati bado anaishi kati ya majaribu ya Maya, anabaki amejitenga kutoka hayo na haanguki katika bahari inayoogofya ya kuishi duniani tena.
ਮੇਰੇ ਰਾਮ ਐਸਾ ਖੀਰੁ ਬਿਲੋਈਐ ॥
mayray raam aisaa kheer bilo-ee-ai.
O’ my God, only then we can continuously recite Naam like churning the yogurt,
Ee Mungu wangu, wakati huo tu ndipo tunaweza kukariri Naam bila mwisho kama kusukasuka maziwa mtindi.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਮਨੂਆ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਰਾਖਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਓਈਐ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gurmat manoo-aa asthir raakho in biDh amrit pee-o-ee-ai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
when through the Guru’s teachings we hold our mind steady against Maya; only this way we can partake the ambrosial nectar of Naam. ||1||Pause||
wakati kupitia mafundisho ya Guru tunaweka akili yetu thabiti dhidi ya Maya; kwa njia hii pekee ndiyo tunaweza kushiriki nekta ya ambrosia ya Naam. ||1||Sitisha||
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਬਾਣਿ ਬਜਰ ਕਲ ਛੇਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਆ ਪਦੁ ਪਰਗਾਸਾ ॥
gur kai baan bajar kal chhaydee pargati-aa pad pargaasaa.
One who penetrates the hard core of his evil intellect using the Guru’s word as an arrow, his mind gets enlightened with divine knowledge,
Yule anayepenya kiini kigumu cha akili yake mbaya kwa kutumia neno la Guru kama mshale, akili yake inaangazwa kwa maarifa takatifu,
ਸਕਤਿ ਅਧੇਰ ਜੇਵੜੀ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਚੂਕਾ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਸਿਵ ਘਰਿ ਬਾਸਾ ॥੨॥
sakat aDhayr jayvrhee bharam chookaa nihchal siv ghar baasaa.||2||
just as a mistake of considering rope for a snake in darkness is corrected when the place is lighted, similarly the illusion of Maya vanishes with the light of Naam and one gets absorbed in the blissful God. ||2||
Kama vile kosa la kufikiria kamba kuwa nyoka gizani linakosolewa wakati mahali hapo panawekwa nuru, vivyo hivyo njozi ya Maya inapotea kwa nuru ya Naam na mtu anavama katika Mungu wa raha tele.
ਤਿਨਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਬਾਣੈ ਧਨਖੁ ਚਢਾਈਐ ਇਹੁ ਜਗੁ ਬੇਧਿਆ ਭਾਈ ॥
tin bin baanai Dhanakh chadhaa-ee-ai ih jag bayDhi-aa bhaa-ee.
O’ brother, one who remained unaffected by Maya by the support of the Guru’s word. It is like conquering the world without mounting the shaft on the bow.
Ee ndugu, yule ambaye haathiriwi na Maya kwa nguzo ya neno la Guru. Ni kama kutawala dunia bila kuweka mpini wa mshale kwenye upinde.
