ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਜੋਗੀ ਹੋਵਾ ਜਗਿ ਭਵਾ ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਭੀਖਿਆ ਲੇਉ ॥

jogee hovaa jag bhavaa ghar ghar bheekhiaa leo |

If I were to become a Yogi, and wander around the world, begging from door to door,

ਦਰਗਹ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਕਿਸੁ ਕਿਸੁ ਉਤਰੁ ਦੇਉ ॥

daragah lekhaa mangeeai kis kis utar deo |

then, when I am summoned to the Court of the Lord, what answer could I give?

ਭਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਮੜੀ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥

bhikhiaa naam santokh marree sadaa sach hai naal |

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the charity I beg for; contentment is my temple. The True Lord is always with me.

ਭੇਖੀ ਹਾਥ ਨ ਲਧੀਆ ਸਭ ਬਧੀ ਜਮਕਾਲਿ ॥

bhekhee haath na ladheea sabh badhee jamakaal |

Nothing is obtained by wearing religious robes; all will be seized by the Messenger of Death.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗਲਾ ਝੂਠੀਆ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ॥੧॥

naanak galaa jhoottheea sachaa naam samaal |1|

O Nanak, talk is false; contemplate the True Name. ||1||
