First Mehl:

ਅੰਦਰਹੁ ਝੂਠੇ ਪੈਜ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਫੈਲੁ ॥

andarahu jhootthe paij baahar duneea andar fail |

Those who are false within, and honorable on the outside, are very common in this world.

ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਜੇ ਨਾਵਹਿ ਉਤਰੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਮੈਲੁ ॥

atthasatth teerath je naaveh utarai naahee mail |

Even though they may bathe at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, still, their filth does not depart.

ਜਿਨੑ ਪਟੁ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਗੁਦੜੁ ਤੇ ਭਲੇ ਸੰਸਾਰਿ ॥

jina patt andar baahar gudarr te bhale sansaar |

Those who have silk on the inside and rags on the outside, are the good ones in this world.

ਤਿਨੑ ਨੇਹੁ ਲਗਾ ਰਬ ਸੇਤੀ ਦੇਖਨੑੇ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥

tina nehu lagaa rab setee dekhanae veechaar |

They embrace love for the Lord, and contemplate beholding Him.

ਰੰਗਿ ਹਸਹਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰੋਵਹਿ ਚੁਪ ਭੀ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਹਿ ॥

rang haseh rang roveh chup bhee kar jaeh |

In the Lord's Love, they laugh, and in the Lord's Love, they weep, and also keep silent.

ਪਰਵਾਹ ਨਾਹੀ ਕਿਸੈ ਕੇਰੀ ਬਾਝੁ ਸਚੇ ਨਾਹ ॥

paravaah naahee kisai keree baajh sache naah |

They do not care for anything else, except their True Husband Lord.

ਦਰਿ ਵਾਟ ਉਪਰਿ ਖਰਚੁ ਮੰਗਾ ਜਬੈ ਦੇਇ ਤ ਖਾਹਿ ॥

dar vaatt upar kharach mangaa jabai dee ta khaeh |

Sitting, waiting at the Lord's Door, they beg for food, and when He gives to them, they eat.

ਦੀਬਾਨੁ ਏਕੋ ਕਲਮ ਏਕਾ ਹਮਾ ਤੁਮੑਾ ਮੇਲੁ ॥

deebaan eko kalam ekaa hamaa tumaa mel |

There is only One Court of the Lord, and He has only one pen; there, you and I shall meet.

ਦਰਿ ਲਏ ਲੇਖਾ ਪੀੜਿ ਛੁਟੈ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜਿਉ ਤੇਲੁ ॥੨॥

dar le lekhaa peerr chhuttai naanakaa jiau tel |2|

In the Court of the Lord, the accounts are examined; O Nanak, the sinners are crushed, like oil seeds in the press. ||2||
