English Translation:

Sorat’h, First Mehl, Chau-Tukas: The son is dear to his mother and father; he is the wise son-in-law to his father-in-law. The father is dear to his son and daughter, and the brother is very dear to his brother. By the Order of the Lord’s Command, he leaves his house and goes outside, and in an instant, everything becomes alien to him. The self-willed manmukh does not remember the Name of the Lord, does not give in charity, and does not cleanse his consciousness; his body rolls in the dust. ||1|| The mind is comforted by the Comforter of the Naam. I fall at the Guru’s feet – I am a sacrifice to Him; He has given me to understand the true understanding. ||Pause|| The mind is impressed with the false love of the world; he quarrels with the Lord’s humble servant. Infatuated with Maya, night and day, he sees only the worldly path; he does not chant the Naam, and drinking poison, he dies. He is imbued and infatuated with vicious talk; the Word of the Shabad does not come into his consciousness. He is not imbued with the Lord’s Love, and he is not impressed by the taste of the Name; the self-willed manmukh loses his honor. ||2|| He does not enjoy celestial peace in the Company of the Holy, and there is not even a bit of sweetness on his tongue. He calls his mind, body and wealth his own; he has no knowledge of the Court of the Lord. Closing his eyes, he walks in darkness; he cannot see the home of his own being, O Siblings of Destiny. Tied up at Death’s door, he finds no place of rest; he receives the rewards of his own actions. ||3|| When the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, then I see Him with my own eyes; He is indescribable, and cannot be described. With my ears, I continually listen to the Word of the Shabad, and I praise Him; His Ambrosial Name abides within my heart. He is Fearless, Formless and absolutely without vengeance; I am absorbed in His Perfect Light. O Nanak, without the Guru, doubt is not dispelled; through the True Name, glorious greatness is obtained. ||4||3||

Spanish Translation:

Sorath, Mejl Guru Nanak, Primer Canal Divino, Chau-Tukas. Los padres aman a su hijo, los suegros a su yerno; los niños aman a sus padres, los hermanos a su hermano, pero cuando, el Señor así lo ordena, uno deja a todos atrás, y todo se vuelve extraño para él. El Manmukj, en su arrogancia no contempla el Nombre del Señor, ni hace caridades; tampoco se purifica en su interior, y se revuelca en el lodo. (1) Cuando uno hace al Nombre del Señor su Amigo, la mente es confortada, uno cae a los Pies del Guru, y ofrece su ser en sacrificio a aquél que le revela la Verdad del Señor. (Pausa) El Manmukj soberbio está involucrado con el mundo, y se pelea con los Sirvientes del Señor. Envuelto en Maya, camina sin sendero; no recita el Naam, y se envenena de muerte. Participa en conversaciones viciosas, no está despierto a la Palabra del Shabd, el Amor del Señor no le impresiona, ese Manmukj arrogante pierde su Honor ante Dios. (2) No prueba el Sabor de la Paz en la Saad Sangat, la Sociedad de los Santos, y sus labios no conocen el regocijo de la Alabanza al Señor. Piensa que su cuerpo, su mente y sus riquezas le pertenecen, y no conoce ni un poco de los reinos del cielo. Camina en la oscuridad, ciego, sin poder distinguir su verdadero Hogar. Atado al nido de la muerte, no obtiene Paz, y hace su propia voluntad. (3) Cuando el Señor es Compasivo, me deja ver Su Presencia por todas partes, de este Estado, ¿qué alcanza uno a describir? Me aferro a la Palabra del Shabd del Guru y Lo alabo enalteciendo en mi corazón el Néctar del Señor. Me inmerjo en la Luz Divina del Señor Valiente y Sin Forma, Quien es el Amigo de todos. Dice Nanak, sin el Guru la duda no se disuelve; es a través del Nombre Verdadero del Señor que uno obtiene la Gloria. (4‑3)
