This way, you neither earned any honor in this world, nor any support for the next world. You have wasted away your precious human life.

O Nanak, none of these shall go with you after death. O foolish person, these worldly things separate from the body and fall down like embers.
Ee Nanak, hakuna kati ya hayo ambayo hataambatana nawe baada ya kifo. Ee mtu mpumbavu, vitu hivi vya kidunia vinatengana na mwili na kuanguka chini kama makaa yanayowaka.

avar panch ham ayk janaa ki-o raakha-o ghar baar manaa.
O my mind, I am all alone against the five enemies (vices). How can I protect my virtues from these enemies.
Ee akili yangu, nimo pekee yangu dhidi ya maadui (dhambi) watano. Nitawezaje kulinda fadhila zangu kutoka maadui hao.

O’ my mind, recite the Name of the Supreme God, otherwise, in the world hereafter, you will have to face a very powerful army of the demons of death.
Ee akili yangu, kariri Jina la Mungu mkuu, la sivyo, katika dunia itakayofuata, itakubidi ukabiliane na jeshi lenye nguvu mno la mapepo wa kifo.

Thinking herself to be immortal, every day she engages in worldly plays while the five thieves (lust, anger, greed, ego etc.) keep robbing her virtues.

mundraa tay ghat bheetar mundraa kaaN-i-aa keejai khinthaataa.
O yogi, instead of putting around ears, put these rings around your mind and control your evil desires and let belief in death be Your patched jacket.
Ee yogi, badala ya kuweka kwenye masikio, weka pete hizi kwenye akili yako na udhibiti hamu zako mbaya na uache imani kwa kifo iwe koti lako lenye viraka.
ਪੰਚ ਚੇਲੇ ਵਸਿ ਕੀਜਹਿ ਰਾਵਲ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਕੀਜੈ ਡੰਡਾਤਾ ॥੧॥
panch chaylay vas keejeh raaval ih man keejai dandaataa. ||1||
O Yogi, make your five senses (speech, touch, smell, sight and hearing) your disciples, and make your mind the stick to control your senses.
Ee Yogi, fanya hisi zako tano (tamko, mguso, kunusa, kuona na kusikia) ziwe wanafunzi wako, na ufanye akili yako ikaze kudhibiti hisi zako.
ਜੋਗ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਇਵ ਪਾਵਸਿਤਾ ॥

Concentrate your mind to the Guru’s word, instead of forest fruits and roots. No one else is capable of showing the way to unite with God.

If the Guru is met by shaving the head at the Ganges bank, then I consider myGuru as the holy Ganges.
Iwapo Guru anapatwa kwa kunyoa nywela kwenye ukingo wa mto Ganges, basi nafikiria Guru wangu kuwa mto Ganges takatifu.
ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਤਾਰਣਹਾਰੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਏਕੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਸਿ ਅੰਧਾਤਾ ॥੨॥
taribhavan taaranhaar su-aamee ayk na chaytas anDhaataa. ||2||
O’ blind one, why don’t you remember the one Master, who alone is the saviour of the three worlds. ||2||
Ee kipofu, kwa nini humkumbuki Bwana mmoja, ambaye yeye pekee ndiye mkombozi wa dunia tatu.
ਕਰਿ ਪਟੰਬੁ ਗਲੀ ਮਨੁ ਲਾਵਸਿ ਸੰਸਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਜਾਵਸਿਤਾ ॥
kar patamb galee man laavas sansaa mool na jaavsitaa.
O’ yogi, you satisfy people with your false show and lose talks, but your own doubt never departs.
Ee Yogi, unaridhisha watu kwa maonyesho yako ya uongo na matamshi bure, lakini shaka yako mwenyewe kamwe haiondoki.
