The Chains of Duality

ناوِ وسکھ کِنہٕ وۄکھٕلؠ پککھ

Naawi wasakh kine wokhwaliy pakakh

Will you sail by the boat, or will you walk on foot?

دُژیوٚت کرنہٕ لسکھ مو

Dutsyot karne lasakh mo

Caught in such a dilemma of two paths, your spirit will never thrive

یوٚدوے اکہِ وتہِ محکم روزکھ

Yodway aki wati muhkam rozakh

If you remain firmly established upon a single, resolute path

دوٗر پنتھانن لوسکھ مو

Door panthaanan losakh mo

You will never grow exhausted, even on the longest and most distant journeys

یام نہٕ دُنؠ یہچہِ زنجیرٕ کاسکھ

Yaam ne dunyiyechi zanjeere kaasakh

For as long as you do not sever the heavy chains of worldly attachment

تام زُوو سۄکھٕ آسکھ مو

Taam zoow swakh asakh mo

Until then, O soul, you shall never find true, enduring peace
