Aakhan jor chupai nah jor

Aakhan jir chupai nah jor
Jor na mangan dayn na jor
Jor na jeevan maran na jor
Jor na raaj maal man shoore
Jor na surtee gi-aan veechaar
Jor na jugtee chhutai sasaar
Jis hath jor kar vaykhai so-ay
Naanak utam neech na ko-ay

English Translation

No power to speak, no power to keep silent. No power to beg, no power to give. No power to live, no power to die. No power to rule, with wealth and occult mental powers. No power to gain intuitive understanding, spiritual wisdom and mediation. No power to find the way to escape from the world. He alone has the power in His Hands. He watches over all. O Nanak, no one is high or low.
