ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਪੜਿ ਪੜਿ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਵਾਦੁ ਵਖਾਣਦੇ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਸੁਆਇ ॥

parr parr panddit vaad vakhaanade maaeaa moh suaae |

Reading and writing, the Pandits engage in debates and disputes; they are attached to the flavors of Maya.

ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆ ਮਨ ਮੂਰਖ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥

doojai bhaae naam visaariaa man moorakh milai sajaae |

In the love of duality, they forget the Naam. Those foolish mortals shall receive their punishment.

ਜਿਨੑਿ ਕੀਤੇ ਤਿਸੈ ਨ ਸੇਵਨੑੀ ਦੇਦਾ ਰਿਜਕੁ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

jina keete tisai na sevanaee dedaa rijak samaae |

They do not serve the One who created them, who gives sustenance to all.

ਜਮ ਕਾ ਫਾਹਾ ਗਲਹੁ ਨ ਕਟੀਐ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਜਾਇ ॥

jam kaa faahaa galahu na katteeai fir fir aaveh jaae |

The noose of Death around their necks is not cut off; they come and go in reincarnation, over and over again.

ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਆਇ ॥

jin kau poorab likhiaa satigur miliaa tin aae |

The True Guru comes and meets those who have such pre-ordained destiny.

ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਦੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥

anadin naam dhiaaeide naanak sach samaae |1|

Night and day, they meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; O Nanak, they merge into the True Lord. ||1||
