Slok Mahla 1 (Guru Nanak Dev Ji):
Falsehood
(is the) king, falsehood (are the) subjects (and) falsehood (is the) entire
world.
Falsehood (is the) tent, falsehood (is the) house (and) falsehood (the) resident (therein).
Falsehood (is the) gold, falsehood (is the) silver (and) falsehood (are the) wearers (of ornaments made therefrom).
Falsehood (is the human) body, falsehood (is the) dress (worn and) falsehood (is the) acclaimed beauty (thereof).
Falsehood (is the) man, falsehood (is the) lady, drowned (in worldly) enjoyments (they face) humiliation.
(The) falsehood getting attached (to) fraudulent (happenings of this world), forgets (the) Creator (Almighty).
With whom (should) friendship (be) cultivated (when the) entire world (is) transient.
Falsehood (is) sweet (to taste), falsehood (is like) honey, falsehood drowns (everyone in) entirety.
Nanak explicitly prays, except You (all else is a) falsehood (&) untruth. ||1||
