ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਵੇਸ ਕਰੇ ਕੁਰੂਪਿ ਕੁਲਖਣੀ ਮਨਿ ਖੋਟੈ ਕੂੜਿਆਰਿ ॥

ves kare kuroop kulakhanee man khottai koorriaar |

She may wear good clothes, but the bride is ugly and rude; her mind is false and impure.

ਪਿਰ ਕੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਨਾ ਚਲੈ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਗਾਵਾਰਿ ॥

pir kai bhaanai naa chalai hukam kare gaavaar |

She does not walk in harmony with the Will of her Husband Lord. Instead, she foolishly gives Him orders.

ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਜੋ ਚਲੈ ਸਭਿ ਦੁਖ ਨਿਵਾਰਣਹਾਰਿ ॥

gur kai bhaanai jo chalai sabh dukh nivaaranahaar |

But she who walks in harmony with the Guru's Will, shall be spared all pain and suffering.

ਲਿਖਿਆ ਮੇਟਿ ਨ ਸਕੀਐ ਜੋ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਕਰਤਾਰਿ ॥

likhiaa mett na sakeeai jo dhur likhiaa karataar |

That destiny which was pre-ordained by the Creator cannot be erased.

ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਸਉਪੇ ਕੰਤ ਕਉ ਸਬਦੇ ਧਰੇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

man tan saupe kant kau sabade dhare piaar |

She must dedicate her mind and body to her Husband Lord, and enshrine love for the Word of the Shabad.

ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਦੇਖਹੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥

bin naavai kinai na paaeaa dekhahu ridai beechaar |

Without His Name, no one has found Him; see this and reflect upon it in your heart.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾ ਸੁਆਲਿਓ ਸੁਲਖਣੀ ਜਿ ਰਾਵੀ ਸਿਰਜਨਹਾਰਿ ॥੧॥

naanak saa suaalio sulakhanee ji raavee sirajanahaar |1|

O Nanak, she is beautiful and graceful; the Creator Lord ravishes and enjoys her. ||1||
