ਉਸਤਤਿ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ, ਮੈ ਹਭ ਵਞਾਈ ਛੋੜਿਆ, ਹਭੁ ਕਿਝੁ ਤਿਆਗੀ ॥
I have totally discarded praise and slander, O Nanak;
I have forsaken and abandoned everything.
ਹਭੇ ਸਾਕ ਕੂੜਾਵੇ ਡਿਠੇ, ਤਉ ਪਲੈ ਤੈਡੈ ਲਾਗੀ ॥੧॥
I have seen that all relationships are false,
and so I have grasped hold of the hem of Your robe, Lord. ||1||
