mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਜੀਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਬਦੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਤੁ ਸਹ ਮੇਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ॥

jeea andar jeeo sabad hai jit seh melaavaa hoe |

The life within all living beings is the Word of the Shabad. Through it, we meet our Husband Lord.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਜਗਿ ਆਨੑੇਰੁ ਹੈ ਸਬਦੇ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਇ ॥

bin sabadai jag aanaer hai sabade paragatt hoe |

Without the Shabad, the world is in darkness. Through the Shabad, it is enlightened.

ਪੰਡਿਤ ਮੋਨੀ ਪੜਿ ਪੜਿ ਥਕੇ ਭੇਖ ਥਕੇ ਤਨੁ ਧੋਇ ॥

panddit monee parr parr thake bhekh thake tan dhoe |

The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the silent sages read and write until they are weary. The religious fanatics are tired of washing their bodies.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਦੁਖੀਏ ਚਲੇ ਰੋਇ ॥

bin sabadai kinai na paaeo dukhee chale roe |

Without the Shabad, no one attains the Lord; the miserable depart weeping and wailing.

ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਪਾਈਐ ਕਰਮਿ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥

naanak nadaree paaeeai karam paraapat hoe |2|

O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace, the Merciful Lord is attained. ||2||
