Cursed is loving attachment to one's mother and father; cursed is loving attachment to one's siblings and relatives.

1354 : 34
Cursed is attachment to the joys of family life with one's spouse and children.

1354 : 35
Cursed is attachment to household affairs.

1354 : 36
Only loving attachment to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is True. Nanak dwells there in peace. ||2||

1354 : 37
The body is false; its power is temporary.

1354 : 38
It grows old; its love for Maya increases greatly.

1354 : 39
The human is only a temporary guest in the home of the body, but he has high hopes.

1354 : 40
The Righteous Judge of Dharma is relentless; he counts each and every breath.

1354 : 41
The human body, so difficult to obtain, has fallen into the deep dark pit of emotional attachment. O Nanak, its only support is God, the Essence of Reality.

1354 : 42
O God, Lord of the World, Lord of the Universe, Master of the Universe, please be kind to me. ||3||

1354 : 43
This fragile body-fortress is made up of water, plastered with blood and wrapped in skin.

1354 : 44
It has nine gates, but no doors; it is supported by pillars of wind, the channels of the breath.

1354 : 45
The ignorant person does not meditate in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe; he thinks that this body is permanent.

1354 : 46
This precious body is saved and redeemed in the Sanctuary of the Holy, O Nanak,

1354 : 47
chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, Har, Haray. ||4||

1354 : 48
O Glorious, Eternal and Imperishable, Perfect and Abundantly Compassionate,

1354 : 49
Profound and Unfathomable, Lofty and Exalted, All-knowing and Infinite Lord God.

1354 : 50
O Lover of Your devoted servants, Your Feet are a Sanctuary of Peace.

1354 : 51
O Master of the masterless, Helper of the helpless, Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary. ||5||

1354 : 52
Seeing the deer, the hunter aims his weapons.

1354 : 53
But if one is protected by the Lord of the World, O Nanak, not a hair on his head will be touched. ||6||

1354 : 54
He may be surrounded on all four sides by servants and powerful warriors;

1354 : 55
he may dwell in a lofty place, difficult to approach, and never even think of death.

1354 : 56
But when the Order comes from the Primal Lord God, O Nanak, even an ant can take away his breath of life. ||7||

1354 : 57
To be imbued and attuned to the Word of the Shabad; to be kind and compassionate; to sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises - these are the most worthwhile actions in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.

1354 : 58
In this way, one's inner doubts and emotional attachments are dispelled.

1354 : 59
God is pervading and permeating all places.

1354 : 60
So obtain the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; He dwells upon the tongues of the Holy.

1354 : 61
O Nanak, meditate and chant the Name of the Beloved Lord, Har, Har, Har, Haray. ||8||

1354 : 62
Beauty fades away, islands fade away, the sun, moon, stars and sky fade away.

1354 : 63
The earth, mountains, forests and lands fade away.

1354 : 64
One's spouse, children, siblings and loved friends fade away.

1354 : 65
Gold and jewels and the incomparable beauty of Maya fade away.

1354 : 66
Only the Eternal, Unchanging Lord does not fade away.

1354 : 67
O Nanak, only the humble Saints are steady and stable forever. ||9||

1354 : 68
Do not delay in practicing righteousness; delay in committing sins.

1354 : 69
Implant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within yourself, and abandon greed.

1354 : 70
In the Sanctuary of the Saints, the sins are erased. The character of righteousness is received by that person,

1354 : 71
O Nanak, with whom the Lord is pleased and satisfied. ||10||

1354 : 72
The person of shallow understanding is dying in emotional attachment; he is engrossed in pursuits of pleasure with his wife.

1354 : 73
With youthful beauty and golden earrings,

1354 : 74
wondrous mansions, decorations and clothes - this is how Maya clings to him.

1354 : 75
O Eternal, Unchanging, Benevolent Lord God, O Sanctuary of the Saints, Nanak humbly bows to You. ||11||

1354 : 76
If there is birth, then there is death. If there is pleasure, then there is pain. If there is enjoyment, then there is disease.

1354 : 77
If there is high, then there is low. If there is small, then there is great.
