ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਰਵਰੁ ਏਕੁ ਫਲੁ ਦੁਇ ਪੰਖੇਰੂ ਆਹਿ ॥

naanak taravar ek fal due pankheroo aaeh |

O Nanak, the tree has one fruit, but two birds are perched upon it.

ਆਵਤ ਜਾਤ ਨ ਦੀਸਹੀ ਨਾ ਪਰ ਪੰਖੀ ਤਾਹਿ ॥

aavat jaat na deesahee naa par pankhee taeh |

They are not seen coming or going; these birds have no wings.

ਬਹੁ ਰੰਗੀ ਰਸ ਭੋਗਿਆ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਹੈ ਨਿਰਬਾਣੁ ॥

bahu rangee ras bhogiaa sabad rahai nirabaan |

One enjoys so many pleasures, while the other, through the Word of the Shabad, remains in Nirvaanaa.

ਹਰਿ ਰਸਿ ਫਲਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਕਰਮਿ ਸਚਾ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥੨॥

har ras fal raate naanakaa karam sachaa neesaan |2|

Imbued with the subtle essence of the fruit of the Lord's Name, O Nanak, the soul bears the True Insignia of God's Grace. ||2||
