mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦਿੜਾਇਆ ਤਿਨਿ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਆ ॥

gur poorai har naam dirraaeaa tin vichahu bharam chukaaeaa |

The Perfect Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord within me. It has dispelled my doubts from within.

ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਿ ਗਾਈ ਕਰਿ ਚਾਨਣੁ ਮਗੁ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ॥

raam naam har keerat gaaee kar chaanan mag dikhaaeaa |

I sing the Lord's Name and the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises; the Divine Light shines, and now I see the Way.

ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰਿ ਏਕ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਾਇਆ ॥

haumai maar ek liv laagee antar naam vasaaeaa |

Conquering my ego, I am lovingly focused on the One Lord; the Naam has come to dwell within me.

ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਜਮੁ ਜੋਹਿ ਨ ਸਾਕੈ ਸਾਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥

guramatee jam johi na saakai saachai naam samaaeaa |

Following the Guru's Teachings, I cannot be touched by the Messenger of Death. I am absorbed in the True Name.

ਸਭੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤੈ ਕਰਤਾ ਜੋ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਨਾਇ ਲਾਇਆ ॥

sabh aape aap varatai karataa jo bhaavai so naae laaeaa |

The Creator Himself is All-pervading everywhere; He links those with whom He is pleased to His Name.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਲਏ ਤਾ ਜੀਵੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਖਿਨੁ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

jan naanak naam le taa jeevai bin naavai khin mar jaaeaa |2|

Servant Nanak chants the Naam, and so he lives. Without the Name, he would die in an instant. ||2||
