ਕਤਿਕਿ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਣੇ ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਜੋਗੁ ॥ ਪਰਮੇਸਰ ਤੇ ਭੁਲਿਆਂ ਵਿਆਪਨਿ ਸਭੇ ਰੋਗ ॥ ਵੇਮੁਖ ਹੋਏ ਰਾਮ ਤੇ ਲਗਨਿ ਜਨਮ ਵਿਜੋਗ ॥ ਖਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਕਉੜੇ ਹੋਇ ਗਏ ਜਿਤੜੇ ਮਾਇਆ ਭੋਗ ॥ ਵਿਚੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਕਰਿ ਸਕੈ ਕਿਸ ਥੈ ਰੋਵਹਿ ਰੋਜ ॥ ਕੀਤਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਧੁਰਿ ਸੰਜੋਗ ॥ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾਂ ਉਤਰਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਬਿਓਗ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਉ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਰਾਖਿ ਲੇਹਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਬੰਦੀ ਮੋਚ ॥ ਕਤਿਕ ਹੋਵੈ ਸਾਧਸੰਗੁ ਬਿਨਸਹਿ ਸਭੇ ਸੋਚ ॥੯॥

English Translation

(Kattak) ( Katik Karam Kamavane, Dos Na Kaahu Jog )

During the month of Bhadon, man is totally engulfed in the worldly veil of falsehood (Maya) due to his dual-mindedness and is busy enjoying worldly pleasures, without achieving anything worthwhile in spite of their lavish beautification and embellishments, which are of no avail, and his actions will not be fruitful. In fact, once life comes to an end, people will declare your body as that of a demon. All the near relations and family members, whom you loved, will feel alienated from you and desert you.

The body will be taken possession of by the god of death, Yama, and those responsible for evil actions in this world will be taken to hell, without giving any clue. The person concerned repents for his vicious deeds and trembles at the sight of Yama converting his body from black to white(pale) with fear. One should realize now that this body is like a field where whatever you sow, you shall reap similarly (fruit) results accordingly, so whatever types of deeds man perform in this world, he begets similar reward.

O Nanak! The persons who have sought refuge at the Lord’s feet will be saved by the Lord’s ship of support so as to enable them to cross this ocean of life successfully. So during the month of Bhadon, the persons, who have the support of their loving Guru, will not be thrown at the gates of Hell. (7)
