ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਸੁਧੁ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਅਨੇਕ ਕਰੈ ਸੀਗਾਰ ॥

bin sabadai sudh na hovee je anek karai seegaar |

Without the Word of the Shabad, purity is not obtained, even though the soul-bride may adorn herself with all sorts of decorations.

ਪਿਰ ਕੀ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

pir kee saar na jaanee doojai bhaae piaar |

She does not know the value of her Husband Lord; she is attached to the love of duality.

ਸਾ ਕੁਸੁਧ ਸਾ ਕੁਲਖਣੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਰੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਕੁਨਾਰਿ ॥੨॥

saa kusudh saa kulakhanee naanak naaree vich kunaar |2|

She is impure, and ill-mannered, O Nanak; among women, she is the most evil woman. ||2||
