ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਸਿਫਤਿ ਖਜਾਨਾ ਬਖਸ ਹੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਬਖਸੈ ਸੋ ਖਰਚੈ ਖਾਇ ॥

sifat khajaanaa bakhas hai jis bakhasai so kharachai khaae |

The treasure of the Lord's Praise is such a blessed gift; he alone obtains it to spend, unto whom the Lord bestows it.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਥਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਸਭ ਥਕੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

satigur bin hath na aavee sabh thake karam kamaae |

Without the True Guru, it does not come to hand; all have grown weary of performing religious rituals.

ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਜਗਤੁ ਧਨਹੀਣੁ ਹੈ ਅਗੈ ਭੁਖਾ ਕਿ ਖਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak manamukh jagat dhanaheen hai agai bhukhaa ki khaae |2|

O Nanak, the self-willed manmukhs of the world lack this wealth; when they are hungry in the next world, what will they have to eat there? ||2||
