We will go alone from this world

Kabeer, the mortal loses his faith, for the sake of the world, but the world shall not go along with him in the end.

The idiot strikes his own foot with the axe by his own hand. ||13||

Death comes to all, and all must suffer separation.

Go and ask the clever people, whether they shall meet in the world hereafter.

Those who forget my Lord and Master shall suffer in terrible pain. ||1||

So praise the True Lord,

by whose Grace peace ever prevails. ||Pause||

Praise Him as great; He is, and He shall ever be.

You alone are the Great Giver; mankind cannot give anything.

Whatever pleases Him, comes to pass; what good does it do to cry out in protest? ||2||

Many have proclaimed their sovereignty over millions of fortresses on the earth, but they have now departed.

And those, whom even the sky could not contain, had ropes put through their noses.

O mind, if you only knew the torment in your future, you would not relish the sweet pleasures of the present. ||3||

O Nanak, as many as are the sins one commits, so many are the chains around his neck.

If he possesses virtues, then the chains are cut away; these virtues are his brothers, his true brothers.

Going to the world hereafter, those who have no Guru are not accepted; they are beaten, and expelled. ||4||1||

Remember the true master

Seek His Shelter, O my mind; there is no other as Great as He.

Remembering Him in meditation, a profound peace is obtained.
Pain and suffering will not touch you at all.

Forever and ever, work for God; He is our True Lord and Master. ||2||

Pauree:
Whatever happens is according to Your Will, so why should I be afraid?
Meeting Him, I meditate on the Name - I offer my soul to Him.
When the Infinite Lord comes to mind, one is enraptured.
Who can touch one who has the Formless Lord on his side?
Everything is under His control; no one is beyond Him.
He, the True Lord, dwells in the minds of His devotees.
Your slaves meditate on You; You are the Savior, the Protector Lord.
You are the Almighty Overlord of all; You bless us with Your Glance of Grace. 17

Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:
Intellectual egotism and great love for Maya are the most serious chronic diseases.
The Lord's Name is the medicine, which is potent to cure everything. The Guru has given me the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||
My mind and body yearn for the dust of the Lord's humble servants.
With it, the sins of millions of incarnations are obliterated. O Lord of the Universe, please fulfill my desire. ||1||Pause||
In the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, one is hounded by dreadful desires.
Through the Guru's spiritual wisdom, we sing the Kirtan of the Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and the noose of death is cut away. ||2||
Those who are cheated by sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment suffer reincarnation forever.
By loving devotional worship to God, and meditative remembrance of the Lord of the World, one's wandering in reincarnation is ended. ||3||
Friends, children, spouses and well-wishers are burnt by the three fevers.
Chanting the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam, one's miseries are ended, as one meets the Saintly servants of the Lord. ||4||
Wandering around in all directions, they cry out, ""Nothing can save us!""
Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Lotus Feet of the Infinite Lord; he holds fast to their Support. ||5||4||30||

Day by day, hour by hour, life runs its course, and the body withers away.
Death, like a hunter, a butcher, is on the prowl; tell me, what can we do? ||1||
That day is rapidly approaching.
Mother, father, siblings, children and spouse - tell me, who belongs to whom? ||1||Pause||
As long as the light remains in the body, the beast does not understand himself.
He acts in greed to maintain his life and status, and sees nothing with his eyes. ||2||
Says Kabeer, listen, O mortal: Renounce the doubts of your mind.
Chant only the One Naam, the Name of the Lord, O mortal, and seek the Sanctuary of the One Lord. ||3||2||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
This human body has been given to you.
This is your chance to meet the Lord of the Universe.
Nothing else will work.
Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; vibrate and meditate on the Jewel of the Naam. ||1||
Make every effort to cross over this terrifying world-ocean.
You are squandering this life uselessly in the love of Maya. ||1||Pause||
I have not practiced meditation, self-discipline, self-restraint or righteous living.
I have not served the Holy; I have not acknowledged the Lord, my King.
Says Nanak, my actions are contemptible!
O Lord, I seek Your Sanctuary; please, preserve my honor! ||2||4||

Aasaa:
As long as the oil and the wick are in the lamp, everything is illuminated.
But when the oil is burnt, the wick goes out, and the mansion becomes desolate. ||1||
O mad-man, no one will keep you, for even a moment.
Meditate on the Name of that Lord. ||1||Pause||
Tell me, whose mother is that, whose father is that, and which man has a wife?
When the pitcher of the body breaks, no one cares for you at all. Everyone says, ""Take him away, take him away!""||2||
Sitting on the threshold, his mother cries, and his brothers take away the coffin.
Taking down her hair, his wife cries out in sorrow, and the swan-soul departs all alone. ||3||
Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints, about the terrifying world-ocean.
This human suffers torture and the Messenger of Death will not leave him alone, O Lord of the World. ||4||9||
