ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥
salok mahalaa teejaa ||
Shalok, Third Mehla:
ਮਨਿ ਪਰਤੀਤਿ ਨ ਆਈਆ ਸਹਜਿ ਨ ਲਗੋ ਭਾਉ ॥
man parateet na aaieeaa sahaj na lago bhaau ||
O mind, you have no faith, and you have not embraced love for the Celestial Lord;
ਸਬਦੈ ਸਾਦੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਮਨਹਠਿ ਕਿਆ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ॥
sabadhai saadh na paio manahatt kiaa gun gai ||
you do not enjoy the sublime taste of the Word of the Shabad – what Praises of the Lord will you stubborn-mindedly sing?
ਨਾਨਕ ਆਇਆ ਸੋ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਹੈ ਜਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥
naanak aaiaa so paravaan hai j guramukh sach samai ||1||
O Nanak, his coming alone is approved, who, as Gurmukh, merges into the True Lord. ||1||
ਮਃ ੩ ॥
mahalaa teejaa ||
Third Mehla:
ਆਪਣਾ ਆਪੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਮੂੜਾ ਅਵਰਾ ਆਖਿ ਦੁਖਾਏ ॥
aapanaa aap na pachhaanai mooRaa avaraa aakh dhukhaae ||
The fool does not understand his own self; he annoys others with his speech.
ਮੁੰਢੈ ਦੀ ਖਸਲਤਿ ਨ ਗਈਆ ਅੰਧੇ ਵਿਛੁੜਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਖਾਏ ॥
mu(n)ddai dhee khasalat na gieeaa a(n)dhe vichhuR choTaa khaae ||
His underlying nature does not leave him; separated from the Lord, he suffers cruel blows.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਭੈ ਭੰਨਿ ਨ ਘੜਿਓ ਰਹੈ ਅੰਕਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥
satigur kai bhai bha(n)n na ghaRio rahai a(n)k samaae ||
Through the fear of the True Guru, he has not changed and reformed himself, so that he might merge in the lap of God.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਸਹਸਾ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਚੂਕੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
anadhin sahasaa kadhe na chookai bin sabadhai dhukh paae ||
Night and day, his doubts never stop; without the Word of the Shabad, he suffers in pain.
ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਬਲਾ ਨਿਤ ਧੰਧਾ ਕਰਤ ਵਿਹਾਏ ॥
kaam karodh lobh a(n)tar sabalaa nit dha(n)dhaa karat vihaae ||
Sexual desire, anger and greed are so powerful within him; he passes his life constantly entangled in worldly affairs.
ਚਰਣ ਕਰ ਦੇਖਤ ਸੁਣਿ ਥਕੇ ਦਿਹ ਮੁਕੇ ਨੇੜੈ ਆਏ ॥
charan kar dhekhat sun thake dheh muke neRai aae ||
His feet, hands, eyes and ears are exhausted; his days are numbered, and his death is immanent.
ਸਚਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਲਗੋ ਮੀਠਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਵ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਏ ॥
sachaa naam na lago meettaa jit naam nav nidh paae ||
The True Name does not seem sweet to him – the Name by which the nine treasures are obtained.
ਜੀਵਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਮਰੈ ਫੁਨਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਤਾਂ ਮੋਖੰਤਰੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
jeevat marai marai fun jeevai taa(n) mokha(n)tar paae ||
But if he remains dead while yet alive, then by so dying, he truly lives; thus, he attains liberation.
ਧੁਰਿ ਕਰਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਪਰਾਣੀ ਵਿਣੁ ਕਰਮਾ ਕਿਆ ਪਾਏ ॥
dhur karam na paio paraanee vin karamaa kiaa paae ||
But if he is not blessed with such pre-ordained karma, then without this karma, what can he obtain?
ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ਤੂ ਮੂੜੇ ਗਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਸਬਦੇ ਪਾਏ ॥
gur kaa sabadh samaal too mooRe gat mat sabadhe paae ||
Meditate in remembrance on the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, you fool; through the Shabad, you shall obtain salvation and wisdom.
naanak satigur tadh hee paae jaa(n) vichahu aap gavaae ||2||
O Nanak, he alone finds the True Guru, who eliminates self-conceit from within. ||2||
pauRee ||
Pauree:
jis dhai chit vasiaa meraa suaamee tis no kiau a(n)dhesaa kisai galai dhaa loReeaai ||
One whose consciousness is filled with my Lord Master – why should he feel anxious about anything?
har sukhadhaataa sabhanaa galaa kaa tis no dhiaaidhiaa kiv nimakh ghaRee muh moReeaai ||
The Lord is the Giver of Peace, the Lord of all things; why would we turn our faces away from His meditation, even for a moment, or an instant?
jin har dhiaaiaa tis no sarab kaliaan hoe nit sa(n)t janaa kee sa(n)gat jai baheeaai muh joReeaai ||
One who meditates on the Lord obtains all pleasures and comforts; let us go each and every day, to sit in the Saints’ Society.
sabh dhukh bhukh rog ge har sevak ke sabh jan ke ba(n)dhan toReeaai ||
All the pain, hunger, and disease of the Lord’s servant are eradicated; the bonds of the humble beings are torn away.
har kirapaa te hoaa har bhagat har bhagat janaa kai muh ddittai jagat tariaa sabh loReeaai ||4||
By the Lord’s Grace, one becomes the Lord’s devotee; beholding the face of the Lord’s humble devotee, the whole world is saved and carried across. ||4||
