Wisdom declines when arrogance rises (Gyan ghatay ati dambh kiye)

                               Please scroll down for the English translation

Gyan ghatay ati dambh kiye aur Dhyaan ghatay vishayan bharmaaye 

Tej ghatay bahu krodh kiye - Sukh chain ghatay eerkha urajhaaye 

Moh ghatay jab lobh badhay aur mitra ghaten nij mahimaa gaaye 

Prem ghatay nit hee kuchh maangat Maan ghatay nit haath phailaaye 

Aayu ghatay anuchit bhojan syon buddhi ghatay bin padhay padhaaye

Aalas syon vyopaar ghatay Abhimaan ghatay Santaap kay aaye *** 

Durjan kay sang durmati upjay - vair virodh ghrina badh jaaye

Dayaa ghatay, Sadbhaav ghatay Karuna-anukampa man say jaaye 

Lobh laalsa, Sva-hit chintaa Satya kay maarg say bhatkaaye 

Seemit gyaan, Abodh kee sammati beech bhanvar mein naav dubaaye

                              ~~~~~~~~~~

                                          Part 2.  

Karm kiye nirdhantaa jaaye - Rog mitay kuchh aushadhi kaahaye

Timir mitay jab deep jalay - Sab vair mitay jab matsar jaaye 

Mitay kubuddhi Sajjan kay sang - Sadbuddhi Sanmati upakaaye

Satya ka Gyan Santan ki Sangat Bhav saagar say paar lagaaye

Kaam mitay- tab Raam milay, Jab Raam milay man dheeraj paaye

Chintaa kshobh mitay man syon jab Nishchal kay sang dhyaan lagaaye

Santushti say lobh mitay, Jag moh mitay Hari syon chit laaye

Dekh Aseem ahankaar mitay aur krodh mitay man ko samjhaaye

Brahm milay to Bhram mitay - Sab paap katen Hari naam dhyaaye 

Sun 'Rajan' Sukh-chain milay jab chhod Anek ik syon Chit laaye

                                  Translation 

When arrogance rises, wisdom declines, 

And indulgence in worldly distractions clouds the mind.

Excessive anger disrupts a person’s inner peace and as a result, their aura—facial radiance, glow, and grace fades away.
When the mind remains consumed by jealousy, the joy and tranquility of life diminish.

When greed takes control, it erodes love and affection.

Even among siblings and close family members, disputes often arise during the division of inheritance from parents and ancestors, turning family bonds into battlegrounds.

Constantly praising oneself and boasting about one's qualities eventually causes even friends to drift away.

Love dwindles when demands are constant,

And dignity is lost when one stoops to beg.

Health declines with improper diet 

Wisdom fades without constant learning and gaining new knowledge.

Laziness leads to business failure 

When sorrow, grief, or illness strikes, even the pride and arrogance of the greatest can crumble.

In the company of the wicked, negativity flourishes, giving rise to hatred and animosity.

Compassion and kindness wither away, Leaving the heart devoid of mercy.

Greed, desire, and self-interest lead astray from the path of truth. 

Limited knowledge and misguided counsel can sink the boat of life into a whirlpool of confusion.

                                           Part 2 

Poverty is overcome through effort and hard work and illnesses are cured with proper medicine.

Darkness vanishes when a lamp is lit, and enmity ends when jealousy is abandoned. 

Evil thoughts vanish in the company of the virtuous - Wisdom and noble intentions arise through their influence.

True knowledge and the company of saints lead one safely across the ocean of existence.

Desires dissolve upon meeting the Divine - With the Divine, the mind finds patience and peace.

Worries and agitation disappear when the mind focuses on the unchanging truth.

Our minds often wander endlessly, chasing every desirable thing around us. 

Yet, no one can attain everything they wish for.
When we fail to achieve something - when circumstances don’t align with our desires, we feel disheartened.

However, when we center our thoughts on the One Omnipotent God, our mind ceases to wander and finds stillness. It becomes steady, content, and free from unnecessary cravings.
With this inner calm, peace and joy naturally flow into our lives.

Contentment removes greed, and worldly attachments fade when the heart turns toward the Divine.

Witnessing the infinite humbles our pride - 

And, anger can be controlled with patience and deeper understanding.

Union with the Supreme dispels illusions 

And sins are absolved through meditation on the divine name.

True joy and peace are found when one lets go of the many and focuses on the One.

True success in life comes from focusing on one goal with undivided attention,
rather than scattering one’s energy in many directions.
