ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਅਪਣਾ ਆਪੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਈ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਜਾਤਾ ਦੂਰਿ ॥

apanaa aap na pachhaanee har prabh jaataa door |

He does not understand himself; he believes the Lord God to be far away.

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਵਿਸਰੀ ਕਿਉ ਮਨੁ ਰਹੈ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥

gur kee sevaa visaree kiau man rahai hajoor |

He forgets to serve the Guru; how can his mind remain in the Lord's Presence?

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ਝੂਠੈ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਕੂਰਿ ॥

manamukh janam gavaaeaa jhootthai laalach koor |

The self-willed manmukh wastes away his life in worthless greed and falsehood.

ਨਾਨਕ ਬਖਸਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਅਨੁ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹਦੂਰਿ ॥੧॥

naanak bakhas milaaeian sachai sabad hadoor |1|

O Nanak, the Lord forgives, and blends them with Himself; through the True Word of the Shabad, He is ever-present. ||1||
