ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਅਗਿਆਨੁ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੀ ॥

manamukh agiaan duramat ahankaaree |

The self-willed manmukh is ignorant, evil-minded and egotistical.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਜੂਐ ਮਤਿ ਹਾਰੀ ॥

antar krodh jooai mat haaree |

He is filled with anger within, and he loses his mind in the gamble.

ਕੂੜੁ ਕੁਸਤੁ ਓਹੁ ਪਾਪ ਕਮਾਵੈ ॥

koorr kusat ohu paap kamaavai |

He commits the sins of fraud and unrighteousness.

ਕਿਆ ਓਹੁ ਸੁਣੈ ਕਿਆ ਆਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ॥

kiaa ohu sunai kiaa aakh sunaavai |

What can he hear, and what can he tell others?

ਅੰਨਾ ਬੋਲਾ ਖੁਇ ਉਝੜਿ ਪਾਇ ॥

anaa bolaa khue ujharr paae |

He is blind and deaf; he loses his way, and wanders lost in the wilderness.

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਅੰਧਾ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

manamukh andhaa aavai jaae |

The blind, self-willed manmukh comes and goes in reincarnation;

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਥਾਇ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥

bin satigur bhette thaae na paae |

without meeting the True Guru, he finds no place of rest.

ਨਾਨਕ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਕਮਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak poorab likhiaa kamaae |2|

O Nanak, he acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. ||2||
