ਪਉੜੀ

Pa▫oṛī.

Pauri.

ਪਉੜੀ।


ਕਪੜੁ ਰੂਪੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਣਾ ਛਡਿ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਜਾਵਣਾ

  Kapaṛ rūp suhāvaṇā cẖẖad ḏunī▫ā anḏar jāvṇā.

  I am leaving this world naked after having worn beautiful vestments.

  I was beautiful when I was here.

 

ਮੰਦਾ ਚੰਗਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਕੀਤਾ ਪਾਵਣਾ

  Manḏā cẖanga āpṇā āpe hī kīṯā pāvṇā.

  I am taking the fruits from the seeds I sowed in my life.

  Many will be bitter and throny and perhaps a rare may be sweet


ਹੁਕਮ ਕੀਏ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵਦੇ ਰਾਹਿ ਭੀੜੈ ਅਗੈ ਜਾਵਣਾ

  Hukam kī▫e man bẖāvḏe rāhi bẖīṛai agai jāvṇā.

  I did here what I felt like, wandered around following my own wishes.

  But from now on I will be walking on the razor’s edge.

 

ਨੰਗਾ ਦੋਜਕਿ ਚਾਲਿਆ ਤਾ ਦਿਸੈ ਖਰਾ ਡਰਾਵਣਾ

Nangā ḏojak cẖāli▫ā ṯā ḏisai kẖarā darāvaṇā.

  How my nakedness is scary and ugly!

  Where’s the beauty gone?

  ਕਰਿ ਅਉਗਣ ਪਛੋਤਾਵਣਾ੧੪॥

Kar a▫ugaṇ pacẖẖoṯāvaṇā. ||14||

  I regret the bitter and thorny fruits I have reaped from the seeds I sowed.

  It is all my doing, my living in me-ism rather than in One-ism.
