ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਊਧਾ ਕਉਲੁ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਨਾਉ ॥

manamukh aoodhaa kaul hai naa tis bhagat na naau |

The self-willed manmukh is like the inverted lotus; he has neither devotional worship, nor the Lord's Name.

ਸਕਤੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਕੂੜੁ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਹੈ ਉਪਾਉ ॥

sakatee andar varatadaa koorr tis kaa hai upaau |

He remains engrossed in material wealth, and his efforts are false.

ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਅੰਦਰੁ ਚਿਤੁ ਨ ਭਿਜਈ ਮੁਖਿ ਫੀਕਾ ਆਲਾਉ ॥

tis kaa andar chit na bhijee mukh feekaa aalaau |

His consciousness is not softened within, and the words from his mouth are insipid.

ਓਇ ਧਰਮਿ ਰਲਾਏ ਨਾ ਰਲਨੑਿ ਓਨਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਕੂੜੁ ਸੁਆਉ ॥

oe dharam ralaae naa ralana onaa andar koorr suaau |

He does not mingle with the righteous; within him are falsehood and selfishness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਰਤੈ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਕੂੜੁ ਬੋਲਿ ਬੋਲਿ ਡੁਬੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਤਰੇ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਉ ॥੨॥

naanak karatai banat banaaee manamukh koorr bol bol ddube guramukh tare jap har naau |2|

O Nanak, the Creator Lord has arranged things, so that the self-willed manmukhs are drowned by telling lies, while the Gurmukhs are saved by chanting the Lord's Name. ||2||
