ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਸੂਹਾ ਰੰਗੁ ਵਿਕਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਕੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

soohaa rang vikaar hai kant na paaeaa jaae |

The red color is vain and useless; it cannot help you obtain your Husband Lord.

ਇਸੁ ਲਹਦੇ ਬਿਲਮ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਰੰਡ ਬੈਠੀ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥

eis lahade bilam na hovee randd baitthee doojai bhaae |

This color does not take long to fade; she who loves duality, ends up a widow.

ਮੁੰਧ ਇਆਣੀ ਦੁੰਮਣੀ ਸੂਹੈ ਵੇਸਿ ਲੋੁਭਾਇ ॥

mundh eaanee dunmanee soohai ves loubhaae |

She who loves to wear her red dress is foolish and double-minded.

ਸਬਦਿ ਸਚੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਲੁ ਕਰਿ ਭੈ ਭਾਇ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ਬਣਾਇ ॥

sabad sachai rang laal kar bhai bhaae seegaar banaae |

So make the True Word of the Shabad your red dress, and let the Fear of God, and the Love of God, be your ornaments and decorations.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਦਾ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਜਿ ਚਲਨਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak sadaa sohaaganee ji chalan satigur bhaae |2|

O Nanak, she is a happy soul-bride forever, who walks in harmony with the Will of the True Guru. ||2||
