ਮਃ ੪ ॥

mahalaa 4 |

Fourth Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਵਿਆਪੇ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਮਨੂਆ ਥਿਰੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥

manamukh maaeaa mohi viaape doojai bhaae manooaa thir naeh |

The self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in emotional attachment to Maya; in the love of duality, their minds are unsteady.

ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਜਲਤ ਰਹਹਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਖਪਹਿ ਖਪਾਹਿ ॥

anadin jalat raheh din raatee haumai khapeh khapaeh |

Night and day, they are burning; day and night, they are totally ruined by their egotism.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਲੋਭੁ ਮਹਾ ਗੁਬਾਰਾ ਤਿਨ ਕੈ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਹਿ ॥

antar lobh mahaa gubaaraa tin kai nikatt na koee jaeh |

Within them, is the total pitch darkness of greed, and no one even approaches them.

ਓਇ ਆਪਿ ਦੁਖੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਕਬਹੂ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਜਨਮਿ ਮਰਹਿ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਹਿ ॥

oe aap dukhee sukh kabahoo na paaveh janam mareh mar jaeh |

They themselves are miserable, and they never find peace; they are born, only to die, and die again.

ਨਾਨਕ ਬਖਸਿ ਲਏ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਜਿ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਨੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਹਿ ॥੨॥

naanak bakhas le prabh saachaa ji gur charanee chit laeh |2|

O Nanak, the True Lord God forgives those, who focus their consciousness on the Guru's feet. ||2||
