It is one of the 10 shabads comprising the [[Shabad Hazare]]. Translated from the original [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]], it reads:<br />
<br />
{{Blockquote|text=<br />
Tell the beloved friend about the state of his devotees.<br />
<br />
Without you, we feel sick wrapping ourselves in our quilts, it's like living in a snakepit.<br />
<br />
The flask is a thorn in the side, the cup a dagger, it's like enduring the butcher's blows.<br />
<br />
Better to sleep on the ground near the beloved; staying in the village is like being in a furnace.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Gandhi |first=Surjit Singh |title=History of Sikh Gurus Retold: 1606-1708 C.E. |publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Dist. |year=2007 |isbn=9788126908585 |volume=2 |pages=833–834}}</ref><br />
