Salok, Third Mehl:

ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਜਿ ਕਰਤੈ ਆਪਿ ਲਿਖਿਆਸੁ ॥

poorab likhiaa kamaavanaa ji karatai aap likhiaas |

He acts according to pre-ordained destiny, written by the Creator Himself.

ਮੋਹ ਠਗਉਲੀ ਪਾਈਅਨੁ ਵਿਸਰਿਆ ਗੁਣਤਾਸੁ ॥

moh tthgaulee paaeean visariaa gunataas |

Emotional attachment has drugged him, and he has forgotten the Lord, the treasure of virtue.

ਮਤੁ ਜਾਣਹੁ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਵਦਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਮੁਇਆਸੁ ॥

mat jaanahu jag jeevadaa doojai bhaae mueaas |

Don't think that he is alive in the world - he is dead, through the love of duality.

ਜਿਨੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਸੇ ਬਹਣਿ ਨ ਮਿਲਨੀ ਪਾਸਿ ॥

jinee guramukh naam na chetio se behan na milanee paas |

Those who do not meditate on the Lord, as Gurmukh, are not permitted to sit near the Lord.

ਦੁਖੁ ਲਾਗਾ ਬਹੁ ਅਤਿ ਘਣਾ ਪੁਤੁ ਕਲਤੁ ਨ ਸਾਥਿ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਸਿ ॥

dukh laagaa bahu at ghanaa put kalat na saath koee jaas |

They suffer the most horrible pain and suffering, and neither their sons nor their wives go along with them.

ਲੋਕਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਮੁਹੁ ਕਾਲਾ ਹੋਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਉਭੇ ਸਾਸ ॥

lokaa vich muhu kaalaa hoaa andar ubhe saas |

Their faces are blackened among men, and they sigh in deep regret.

ਮਨਮੁਖਾ ਨੋ ਕੋ ਨ ਵਿਸਹੀ ਚੁਕਿ ਗਇਆ ਵੇਸਾਸੁ ॥

manamukhaa no ko na visahee chuk geaa vesaas |

No one places any reliance in the self-willed manmukhs; trust in them is lost.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਾ ਨੋ ਸੁਖੁ ਅਗਲਾ ਜਿਨਾ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਮ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥੧॥

naanak guramukhaa no sukh agalaa jinaa antar naam nivaas |1|

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs live in absolute peace; the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides within them. ||1||
