ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਸਭੋ ਰਤੁ ਹੈ ਰਤੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਤੰਨੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥

eihu tan sabho rat hai rat bin tan na hoe |

This body is all blood; without blood, this body could not exist.

ਜੋ ਸਹ ਰਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਤਿਤੁ ਤਨਿ ਲੋਭੁ ਰਤੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥

jo seh rate aapane tith tan lobh rat na hoe |

Those who are imbued with their Lord, do not have the blood of greed in their bodies.

ਭੈ ਪਇਐ ਤਨੁ ਖੀਣੁ ਹੋਇ ਲੋਭੁ ਰਤੁ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥

bhai peiai tan kheen hoe lobh rat vichahu jaae |

When the Fear of God fills the body, it becomes thin; the blood of greed departs from within.

ਜਿਉ ਬੈਸੰਤਰਿ ਧਾਤੁ ਸੁਧੁ ਹੋਇ ਤਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

jiau baisantar dhaat sudh hoe tiau har kaa bhau duramat mail gavaae |

Just as metal is purified by fire, the Fear of God removes the filthy residues of evil-mindedness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਜਨ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਜਿ ਰਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥੫੨॥

naanak te jan sohane ji rate har rang laae |52|

O Nanak, those humble beings are beautiful, who are imbued with the Lord's Love. ||52||
