ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਕਿਆ ਗਭਰੂ ਕਿਆ ਬਿਰਧਿ ਹੈ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

kiaa gabharoo kiaa biradh hai manamukh trisanaa bhukh na jaae |

Whether he is young or old, the self-willed manmukh cannot escape hunger and thirst.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਬਦੇ ਰਤਿਆ ਸੀਤਲੁ ਹੋਏ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

guramukh sabade ratiaa seetal hoe aap gavaae |

The Gurmukhs are imbued with the Word of the Shabad; they are at peace, having lost their self-conceit.

ਅੰਦਰੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਸੰਤੋਖਿਆ ਫਿਰਿ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਲਗੈ ਆਇ ॥

andar tripat santokhiaa fir bhukh na lagai aae |

They are satisfied and satiated within; they never feel hungry again.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਸੋ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak ji guramukh kareh so paravaan hai jo naam rahe liv laae |2|

O Nanak, whatever the Gurmukhs do is acceptable; they remain lovingly absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||
