If I wander around forgetting God's Name, I shall continue coming and going in reincarnation, over and over again.

Those who have not contemplated the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, are unworthy; they come and go in reincarnation.

Meeting with the True Guru, you shall not have to go through the cycle of reincarnation again; the pains of birth and death will be taken away.

Without the Name, they suffer the agonies of coming and going.

O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, you shall be saved, contemplating the True Name.

Forgetting your Dear Lord, you enjoy corrupt pleasures, and so you shall have to embrace red-hot pillars
