ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਨਉਮੀ ਨੇਮੁ ਸਚੁ ਜੇ ਕਰੈ ॥

naumee nem sach je karai |

On the ninth day of the month, make a vow to speak the Truth,

ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਉਚਰੈ ॥

kaam krodh trisanaa ucharai |

and your sexual desire, anger and desire shall be eaten up.

ਦਸਮੀ ਦਸੇ ਦੁਆਰ ਜੇ ਠਾਕੈ ਏਕਾਦਸੀ ਏਕੁ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਣੈ ॥

dasamee dase duaar je tthaakai ekaadasee ek kar jaanai |

On the tenth day, regulate your ten doors; on the eleventh day, know that the Lord is One.

ਦੁਆਦਸੀ ਪੰਚ ਵਸਗਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਖੈ ਤਉ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨੈ ॥

duaadasee panch vasagat kar raakhai tau naanak man maanai |

On the twelfth day, the five thieves are subdued, and then, O Nanak, the mind is pleased and appeased.

ਐਸਾ ਵਰਤੁ ਰਹੀਜੈ ਪਾਡੇ ਹੋਰ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਸਿਖ ਕਿਆ ਦੀਜੈ ॥੨॥

aisaa varat raheejai paadde hor bahut sikh kiaa deejai |2|

Observe such a fast as this, O Pandit, O religious scholar; of what use are all the other teachings? ||2||
