Listen to Kirtan from this Hukam

English Translation:

Soohee, First Mehl, Sixth House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Bronze is bright and shiny, but when it is rubbed, its blackness appears. Washing it, its impurity is not removed, even if it is washed a hundred times. ||1|| They alone are my friends, who travel along with me; and in that place, where the accounts are called for, they appear standing with me. ||1||Pause|| There are houses, mansions and tall buildings, painted on all sides; but they are empty within, and they crumble like useless ruins. ||2|| The herons in their white feathers dwell in the sacred shrines of pilgrimage. They tear apart and eat the living beings, and so they are not called white. ||3|| My body is like the simmal tree; seeing me, other people are fooled. Its fruits are useless - just like the qualities of my body. ||4|| The blind man is carrying such a heavy load, and his journey through the mountains is so long. My eyes can see, but I cannot find the Way. How can I climb up and cross over the mountain? ||5|| What good does it do to serve, and be good, and be clever? O Nanak, contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and you shall be released from bondage. ||6||1||3||

Hindi Hukamnama:

Spanish Translation:

Suji, Mejl Guru Nanak, Primer Canal Divino. Un Dios Creador del Universo, por la Gracia del Verdadero Guru El bronce brilla y destella, pero frótalo y le aparecerán manchas y por más que lo limpies no dejará de mostrar impurezas. (1) Sólo los que viajan conmigo son mis amigos y ahí, donde uno entrega cuentas, permanecen junto a mí. (1-Pausa) Nuestras casas, mansiones y rascacielos podrán ser decorados por fuera, pero estando vacíos por dentro se desmoronan como ruinas inútiles. (2) La garza de blanco plumaje, habita en lugares santos de peregrinaje, pero devora con avidez criaturas vivas. ¿Cómo entonces proclamar su pureza?(3) Mi cuerpo es como el árbol de Simmal y viéndome la gente se engaña, sus frutos no sirven, así como las virtudes de mi cuerpo.(4) El ciego carga un peso cuesta arriba por un largo y sinuoso camino, pero sin ojos para ver, ¿cómo puede alcanzar su destino final?(5) ¿Qué bienestar trae servir, ser bueno, pero astuto?, oh, dice Nanak, medita en el Naam, el Nombre del Señor y serás liberado de tus amarras. (6-1-3)
