ਮਃ ੧ ॥

mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਰੰਨਾ ਹੋਈਆ ਬੋਧੀਆ ਪੁਰਸ ਹੋਏ ਸਈਆਦ ॥

ranaa hoeea bodheea puras hoe seeaad |

Women have become advisors, and men have become hunters.

ਸੀਲੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਸੁਚ ਭੰਨੀ ਖਾਣਾ ਖਾਜੁ ਅਹਾਜੁ ॥

seel sanjam such bhanee khaanaa khaaj ahaaj |

Humility, self-control and purity have run away; people eat the uneatable, forbidden food.

ਸਰਮੁ ਗਇਆ ਘਰਿ ਆਪਣੈ ਪਤਿ ਉਠਿ ਚਲੀ ਨਾਲਿ ॥

saram geaa ghar aapanai pat utth chalee naal |

Modesty has left her home, and honor has gone away with her.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚਾ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਅਉਰੁ ਨ ਸਚਾ ਭਾਲਿ ॥੨॥

naanak sachaa ek hai aaur na sachaa bhaal |2|

O Nanak, there is only One True Lord; do not bother to search for any other as true. ||2||
