ਮਃ ੫ ॥

mahalaa 5 |

Fifth Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖਾ ਕੇਰੀ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾ ਸਨਬੰਧੁ ॥

manamukhaa keree dosatee maaeaa kaa sanabandh |

Friendship with the self-willed manmukhs is an alliance with Maya.

ਵੇਖਦਿਆ ਹੀ ਭਜਿ ਜਾਨਿ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਪਾਇਨਿ ਬੰਧੁ ॥

vekhadiaa hee bhaj jaan kade na paaein bandh |

As we watch, they run away; they never stand firm.

ਜਿਚਰੁ ਪੈਨਨਿ ਖਾਵਨੑੇ ਤਿਚਰੁ ਰਖਨਿ ਗੰਢੁ ॥

jichar painan khaavanae tichar rakhan gandt |

As long as they get food and clothing, they stick around.

ਜਿਤੁ ਦਿਨਿ ਕਿਛੁ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਤਿਤੁ ਦਿਨਿ ਬੋਲਨਿ ਗੰਧੁ ॥

jit din kichh na hovee tith din bolan gandh |

But on that day when they receive nothing, then they start to curse.

ਜੀਅ ਕੀ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਅੰਧੁ ॥

jeea kee saar na jaananee manamukh agiaanee andh |

The self-willed manmukhs are ignorant and blind; they do not know the secrets of the soul.

ਕੂੜਾ ਗੰਢੁ ਨ ਚਲਈ ਚਿਕੜਿ ਪਥਰ ਬੰਧੁ ॥

koorraa gandt na chalee chikarr pathar bandh |

The false bond does not last; it is like stones joined with mud.

ਅੰਧੇ ਆਪੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਫਕੜੁ ਪਿਟਨਿ ਧੰਧੁ ॥

andhe aap na jaananee fakarr pittan dhandh |

The blind do not understand themselves; they are engrossed in false worldly entanglements.

ਝੂਠੈ ਮੋਹਿ ਲਪਟਾਇਆ ਹਉ ਹਉ ਕਰਤ ਬਿਹੰਧੁ ॥

jhootthai mohi lapattaaeaa hau hau karat bihandh |

Entangled in false attachments, they pass their lives in egotism and self-conceit.

ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਣੀ ਧੁਰਿ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਰਮੁ ਕਰੇਇ ॥

kripaa kare jis aapanee dhur pooraa karam karee |

But that being, whom the Lord has blessed with His Mercy from the very beginning, does perfect deeds, and accumulates good karma.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਉਬਰੇ ਜੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ॥੨॥

jan naanak se jan ubare jo satigur saran pare |2|

O servant Nanak, those humble beings alone are saved, who enter the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||2||
