mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਬਿਲਾਵਲੁ ਤਬ ਹੀ ਕੀਜੀਐ ਜਬ ਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਨਾਮੁ ॥

bilaaval tab hee keejeeai jab mukh hovai naam |

Be happy and sing in Bilaaval, when the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is in your mouth.

ਰਾਗ ਨਾਦ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਜਾ ਲਾਗੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਧਿਆਨੁ ॥

raag naad sabad sohane jaa laagai sehaj dhiaan |

The melody and music, and the Word of the Shabad are beautiful, when one focuses his meditation on the celestial Lord.

ਰਾਗ ਨਾਦ ਛੋਡਿ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵੀਐ ਤਾ ਦਰਗਹ ਪਾਈਐ ਮਾਨੁ ॥

raag naad chhodd har seveeai taa daragah paaeeai maan |

So leave behind the melody and music, and serve the Lord; then, you shall obtain honor in the Court of the Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੀਐ ਚੂਕੈ ਮਨਿ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ॥੨॥

naanak guramukh braham beechaareeai chookai man abhimaan |2|

O Nanak, as Gurmukh, contemplate God, and rid your mind of egotistical pride. ||2||
