ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੪ ॥

salok mahalaa 4 |

Salok, Fourth Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੂਲਹੁ ਭੁਲਿਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਲਬੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ॥

manamukh moolahu bhuliaa vich lab lobh ahankaar |

The self-willed manmukhs forget the Primal Lord, the Source of all; they are caught in greed and egotism.

ਝਗੜਾ ਕਰਦਿਆ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਗੁਦਰੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਨ ਕਰਹਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

jhagarraa karadiaa anadin gudarai sabad na kareh veechaar |

They pass their nights and days in conflict and struggle; they do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad.

ਸੁਧਿ ਮਤਿ ਕਰਤੈ ਸਭ ਹਿਰਿ ਲਈ ਬੋਲਨਿ ਸਭੁ ਵਿਕਾਰੁ ॥

sudh mat karatai sabh hir lee bolan sabh vikaar |

The Creator has taken away all their understanding and purity; all their speech is evil and corrupt.

ਦਿਤੈ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਸੰਤੋਖੀਅਹਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਤਿਸਨਾ ਬਹੁ ਅਗਿਆਨੁ ਅੰਧੵਾਰੁ ॥

ditai kitai na santokheeeh antar tisanaa bahu agiaan andhayaar |

No matter what they are given, they are not satisfied; within their hearts there is great desire, ignorance and darkness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਮੁਖਾ ਨਾਲੋ ਤੁਟੀ ਭਲੀ ਜਿਨ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥੧॥

naanak manamukhaa naalo tuttee bhalee jin maaeaa moh piaar |1|

O Nanak, it is good to break away from the self-willed manmukhs, who have love and attachment to Maya. ||1||
