Worldly Pleasures: Beware of them.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji

Without the Lord, nothing is of any use.
You are totally attached to that Enticer Maya;

she is enticing you. 1Pause


You shall have to leave behind your gold,

your woman and your beautiful bed;

you shall have to depart in an instant.
You are entangled in the lures of sexual pleasures,

and you are eating poisonous drugs. 1


You have built and adorned a palace of straw,

and under it, you light a fire.
Sitting all puffed-up in such a castle,

you stubborn-minded fool,

what do you think you will gain? 2


The five thieves stand over your head and seize you.

Grabbing you by your hair, they will drive you on.
You do not see them,

you blind and ignorant fool;

intoxicated with ego,

you just keep sleeping. 3


The net has been spread out,

and the bait has been scattered;

like a bird, you are being trapped.
Says Nanak, my bonds have been broken;

I meditate on the True Guru, the Primal Being. 4288

In youthful days, he is attracted by other's body, wealth and backbiting. In old age he is caught in the large web of family affairs. Known to be seventy-two he becomes frail and wisdom less and mumbles in sleep. Ultimately he turn...
