ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਲੋਭਾਣੇ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਹਿ ਵਿਡਾਣੀ ॥
amrit chhod bikhi-aa lobhaanay sayvaa karahi vidaanee.
Forsaking the spiritual life giving nectar of Naam, conceited people cling to the poison of worldly riches and power and serve others instead of God
Kwa kuacha nekta ya Naam ya kiroho inayopeana uhai, watu wenye majivuno wanakwamia utajiri na mamlaka ya kidunia na kutumikia wengine badala ya Mungu.
ਆਪਣਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਗਵਾਵਹਿ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਦੁਖਿ ਵਿਹਾਣੀ ॥
aapnaa Dharam gavaaveh boojheh naahee an-din dukh vihaanee.
In this way, they forget the purpose of human life. They do not realize (their folly) and their entire life passes in misery.
Kwa njia hii, wanasahau kusudi la maisha ya kibinadamu. Hawagundui (upumbavu wao) na maisha yao mzima yanapita katika taabu.
ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅੰਧ ਨ ਚੇਤਹੀ ਡੂਬਿ ਮੁਏ ਬਿਨੁ ਪਾਣੀ ॥੧॥
manmukh anDh na chaythee doob mu-ay bin paanee. ||1||
Thus blinded with greed, the self-conceited people do not remember God and die a spiritual death, as if they have drowned without water. ||1||
Kisha wakiwafanywa vipofu na tamaa, watu wenye majivuno ya kibinafsi hawakumbuki Mungu na wanakufa kifo ya kiroho, kama kwamba wamezama bila kuwepo kwa maji.
ਮਨ ਰੇ ਸਦਾ ਭਜਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਸਰਣਾਈ ॥

So that, Guru’s Word gets enshrined in your mind and as a result of that, you will never forget God.
Ndiposa, neno la Guru lipate kuwekwa akilini mwako na matokeo yake, hutawahi kumsahau Mungu.
ਇਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾ ਪੁਤਲਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੁਸਟੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
ih sareer maa-i-aa kaa putlaa vich ha-umai dustee paa-ee.
This body is the puppet of Maya (worldly riches and power). The evil of egotism is within it.
Mwili huu ni kibaraka cha Maya (utajiri na mamlaka ya kidunia). Uovu wa ubinafsi umo ndani yake.
ਆਵਣੁ ਜਾਣਾ ਜੰਮਣੁ ਮਰਣਾ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਪਤਿ ਗਵਾਈ ॥
aavan jaanaa jaman marnaa manmukh pat gavaa-ee.
(Because of the evil of egotism) these self-conceited persons get stuck in the cycle of birth and death and they lose their honor.
(Kwa sababu ya uovu wa ubinafsi) hawa watu wenye majivuno ya kubinafsi wanakwama katika mzunguko wa kuzaliwa na kufa na wanapoteza heshima yao.
ਸਤਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਈ ॥੨॥

However, by following the Guru’s teaching, one obtains eternal peace and their light (soul) merges with the Supreme light.
Hata hivyo, kwa kufuata mafundisho ya Guru, mtu anapokea amani ya milele na mwanga wao (roho) unaungana na Mwanga Mkuu.

I dedicate myself to those who seek the Sanctuary of the True Guru.
Najiweka wakfu kwa wale wanaotafuta ziara ya Guru wa kweli.
ਦਰਿ ਸਚੈ ਸਚੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਸਹਜੇ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਉ ॥
dar sachai sachee vadi-aa-ee sehjay sach samaa-o.
In the Court of the True One, they are blessed with true greatness; they are intuitively absorbed into God
Katika mahakama ya yule Mmoja wa kweli, wanabarikiwa na ukuu wa kweli; wanaunganishwa kiangavu na Mungu.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਪਾਈਐ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਉ ॥੪॥੧੨॥੪੫॥
naanak nadree paa-ee-ai gurmukh mayl milaa-o. ||4||12||45||
But O’ Nanak, It is only by God’s grace that one is blessed with the opportunity of meeting such Guru’s followers.
Lakini Ee Nanak, ni kwa neema ya Mungu tu ambapo mtu anabarikiwa na fursa ya kukutana na wafuasi wa Guru kama hao.

The soul (bride), who remains caught in duality (love for things other than God) wanders through millions of existences.
