ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੨ ॥

salok mahalaa 2 |

Salok, Second Mehl:

ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ ਹੋਇ ਅਠੂਹਿਆ ਨਾਗੀ ਲਗੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

mantree hoe atthoohiaa naagee lagai jaae |

Those who charm scorpions and handle snakes

ਆਪਣ ਹਥੀ ਆਪਣੈ ਦੇ ਕੂਚਾ ਆਪੇ ਲਾਇ ॥

aapan hathee aapanai de koochaa aape laae |

Only brand themselves with their own hands.

ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਇਆ ਧੁਰਿ ਖਸਮ ਕਾ ਅਤੀ ਹੂ ਧਕਾ ਖਾਇ ॥

hukam peaa dhur khasam kaa atee hoo dhakaa khaae |

By the pre-ordained Order of our Lord and Master, they are beaten badly, and struck down.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖ ਸਿਉ ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਅੜੈ ਡੁਬੈ ਹਕਿ ਨਿਆਇ ॥

guramukh siau manamukh arrai ddubai hak niaae |

If the self-willed manmukhs fight with the Gurmukh, they are condemned by the Lord, the True Judge.

ਦੁਹਾ ਸਿਰਿਆ ਆਪੇ ਖਸਮੁ ਵੇਖੈ ਕਰਿ ਵਿਉਪਾਇ ॥

duhaa siriaa aape khasam vekhai kar viaupaae |

He Himself is the Lord and Master of both worlds. He beholds all and makes the exact determination.

ਨਾਨਕ ਏਵੈ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਸਭ ਕਿਛੁ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਰਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak evai jaaneeai sabh kichh tiseh rajaae |1|

O Nanak, know this well: everything is in accordance with His Will. ||1||
