mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਬਾਬੀਹਾ ਭਿੰਨੀ ਰੈਣਿ ਬੋਲਿਆ ਸਹਜੇ ਸਚਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥

baabeehaa bhinee rain boliaa sahaje sach subhaae |

The night is wet with dew; the rainbird sings the True Name with intuitive ease.

ਇਹੁ ਜਲੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਜੀਉ ਹੈ ਜਲ ਬਿਨੁ ਰਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

eihu jal meraa jeeo hai jal bin rehan na jaae |

This water is my very soul; without water, I cannot survive.

ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਜਲੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

gurasabadee jal paaeeai vichahu aap gavaae |

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, this water is obtained, and egotism is eradicated from within.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਚਸਾ ਨ ਜੀਵਦੀ ਸੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਆ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak jis bin chasaa na jeevadee so satigur deea milaae |2|

O Nanak, I cannot live without Him, even for a moment; the True Guru has led me to meet Him. ||2||
