Translation

It is one of the 10 shabads comprising the Shabad Hazare. Translated from the original Punjabi, it reads:

Tell the beloved friend about the state of his devotees.

Without you, we feel sick wrapping ourselves in our quilts, it's like living in a snakepit.

The flask is a thorn in the side, the cup a dagger, it's like enduring the butcher's blows.

Better to sleep on the ground near the beloved; staying in the village is like being in a furnace.

— attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, Shabad Hazare
