ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਹਉਮੈ ਜਗਤੁ ਭੁਲਾਇਆ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਬਿਕਾਰ ॥

haumai jagat bhulaaeaa duramat bikhiaa bikaar |

Egotism has led the world astray, along with evil-mindedness and the poison of corruption.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਤ ਨਦਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅੰਧ ਅੰਧਿਆਰ ॥

satigur milai ta nadar hoe manamukh andh andhiaar |

Meeting with the True Guru, we are blessed by the Lord's Glance of Grace, while the self-willed manmukh gropes around in the darkness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਲਏ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਸਬਦਿ ਲਾਏ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥੩॥

naanak aape mel le jis no sabad laae piaar |3|

O Nanak, the Lord absorbs into Himself those whom He inspires to love the Word of His Shabad. ||3||
