What You (karah-i) do (s-u) that (hoeeai) happens, i.e. everything happens by natural laws.
I (soeeai) sleep in (sahj-i) tranquil (sukh-i) peace by obedience to the Almighty.

(Jis-u) one whom the Master (aapey) IT-self (rakhai) protects from vices by leading to the guru,
(so) that person (chakhai) tastes (amrit) the life-giving elixir, i.e. is at peace, O (meyrey) my (manaa) mind. 2.

(Jis ka) one who has (naahi koey) no one – to support, (soey = that) the One (prabhoo) Almighty is the support (tis ka) of that person – if s/he seeks Divine sanctuary.

 (Oey) o mortal, you (pardeyseeaa = foreigner) are wandering outside. (Sunat) listen to the Divine (sandeysiaa) message from within. 1.

(Jinih) those who (laey) take/assimilate (naam-u) Divine commands on role in life, understand that
this association (bhaey) is (jiau) like (supna) a dream – and does not get attached to them. 1.

Those who (taj-i) forsake (har-i) the Almighty, and (lagey) get attached (an) to other pursuits; they (bhagey = run) go through cycles of (janmah-i) births and (mar-i) deaths.
(Jan-i) the servants/devotees (lahey) take/assimilate virtues and commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty. (Sey) they (rahey) remain (jeevat) alive – do not succumb to vices and hence do not keep taking births to die.
But only (jisah-i) one on whom the Almighty (hoey) is (kripaal-u) kind – to lead to the guru,
(soey) that person becomes (bhagat-u) a devotee, i.e. obeys Divine commands, says fifth Nanak. 2. 7. 163. 232.

Birthā kaha▫o ka▫un si▫o man kī. Lobẖ garsi▫o ḏas hū ḏis ḏẖāvaṯ āsā lāgi▫o ḏẖan kī. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Kaun siau) to whom I should (kahau) tell (birtha) the sorry state of (man = mind) the human being. S/he (grasio) is possessed (lobh-i) by greed, and (aasa lagio) caught in desires for (dhan) money, (dhaavat) running in (das hoo dis) all ten directions i.e. keeps making all types of schemes. 1.

S/he (paavat) goes through (bahut-u) lot of (dukh-u) pain/inconvenience (seyv karat = serving) trying to please (jan jan) numerous people – to seek favours, (heyt-i) for the sake of (sukh-u) transitory comfort/pleasure.
(Jiau) it is like (suaan) a stray dog (ddolat) wanders (duaarah-i duaar-i) from door to door – for food; but does not (sudh) think of (bhajan) invoking (raam) the all-pervasive Master, to attain peace. 1.

Mānas janam akārath kẖovaṯ lāj na lok hasan kī. Nānak har jas ki▫o nahī gāvaṯ kumaṯ bināsai ṯan kī. ||2||1||233||

S/he (khovat) loses – the opportunity provided by – (maanas) human (janam) birth – to invoke, and attain union with, the Creator; s/he (na laaj) has no shame when (lok) people (hasan) laugh at him/her – when s/he demeans him/her-self.
O mortal, (kiau nahi) why don’t you, i.e. you should, (gaavat = sing) remember and live by (jas-u = praise) virtues of (har-i) the Almighty, so that (kumat-i) evil tendency of (tan) the body i.e. evil thoughts, (binaasai) is banished. 2. 1. 233.
