Salok, Third Mehl:

ਕਲਿਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਭਗਤੀ ਖਟਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਉਤਮ ਪਦੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

kalijug meh naam nidhaan bhagatee khattiaa har utam pad paaeaa |

In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the devotees earn the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; they obtain the supreme status of the Lord.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਆ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥

satigur sev har naam man vasaaeaa anadin naam dhiaaeaa |

Serving the True Guru, they enshrine the Lord's Name in their minds, and they meditate on the Naam, night and day.

ਵਿਚੇ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨਿ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਮੋਹੁ ਜਲਾਇਆ ॥

viche grih gur bachan udaasee haumai mohu jalaaeaa |

Within the home of their own selves, they remain unattached, through the Guru's Teachings; they burn away egotism and emotional attachment.

ਆਪਿ ਤਰਿਆ ਕੁਲ ਜਗਤੁ ਤਰਾਇਆ ਧੰਨੁ ਜਣੇਦੀ ਮਾਇਆ ॥

aap tariaa kul jagat taraaeaa dhan janedee maaeaa |

They save themselves, and they save the whole world. Blessed are the mothers who gave birth to them.

ਐਸਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੋਈ ਪਾਏ ਜਿਸੁ ਧੁਰਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

aisaa satigur soee paae jis dhur masatak har likh paaeaa |

He alone finds such a True Guru, upon whose forehead the Lord inscribed such pre-ordained destiny.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਵਿਟਹੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥

jan naanak balihaaree gur aapane vittahu jin bhram bhulaa maarag paaeaa |1|

Servant Nanak is a sacrifice to his Guru; when he was wandering in doubt, He placed him on the Path. ||1||
