maaroo maaran jo geae maar n sakehi gavaar ||

The ignorant people who go to the desert to conquer their minds, are not able to conquer them.

nwnk jy iehu mwrIAY gur sbdI vIcwir ]

naanak jae eihu maareeai gur sabadhee veechaar ||

O Nanak, if this mind is to be conquered, one must contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

eyhu mnu mwirAw nw mrY jy locY sBu koie ]

eaehu man maariaa naa marai jae lochai sabh koe ||

This mind is not conquered by conquering it, even though everyone longs to do so.

naanak man hee ko man maarasee jae sathigur bhaettai soe ||2||

O Nanak, the mind itself conquers the mind, if one meets with the True Guru. ||2||
