The Shabad begins with a hypothetical scenario: if one lived in a palace made of pearls, studded with gems, and fragranced with musk and sandalwood, would they still remember God? Guru Nanak Dev Ji answers with the recurring refrain: "Mat dekh bhoola visrai tera chit na aavai na-o"
However, the exact phrase as written doesn’t match a standard, widely known Shabad title. It seems you may be recalling a line from a or a less common Shabad .
The use of metaphors and allegories adds depth and richness to the lyrics, conveying the complexity of human emotions and the quest for spiritual connection.
ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਜੀਉ ਜਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਮਾਟੀ ਹੋਇ ॥ਸਰਸਤੀ ਸੰਗਿ ਕਾਣੀਆ ਕਿਆ ਦਸੇ ਅੰਧੁਲਾ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
