bin sathigur saevae jeea kae bandhhanaa vich houmai karam kamaahi ||

Without serving the True Guru, the soul is in the bondage of deeds done in ego.

bin sathigur saevae thour n paavehee mar janmehi aavehi jaahi ||

Without serving the True Guru, one finds no place of rest; he dies, and is reincarnated, and continues coming and going.

bin sathigur saevae fikaa bolanaa naam n vasai man maahi ||

Without serving the True Guru, one's speech is vapid and insipid; the Naam, the Name of the Lord, does not abide in his mind.
