ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਭੁਖ ਗਈ ਭੇਖੀ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

satigur miliai bhukh gee bhekhee bhukh na jaae |

Meeting with the True Guru, hunger departs; by wearing the robes of a beggar, hunger does not depart.

ਦੁਖਿ ਲਗੈ ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਫਿਰੈ ਅਗੈ ਦੂਣੀ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥

dukh lagai ghar ghar firai agai doonee milai sajaae |

Afflicted with pain, he wanders from house to house, and in the world hereafter, he receives double punishment.

ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਹਜੁ ਨ ਆਇਓ ਸਹਜੇ ਹੀ ਲੈ ਖਾਇ ॥

andar sehaj na aaeo sahaje hee lai khaae |

Peace does not come to his heart - he is not content to eat what comes his way.

ਮਨਹਠਿ ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਮੰਗਣਾ ਲੈਣਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਮਨਾਇ ॥

manahatth jis te manganaa lainaa dukh manaae |

With his stubborn mind, he begs, and grabs, and annoys those who give.

ਇਸੁ ਭੇਖੈ ਥਾਵਹੁ ਗਿਰਹੋ ਭਲਾ ਜਿਥਹੁ ਕੋ ਵਰਸਾਇ ॥

eis bhekhai thaavahu giraho bhalaa jithahu ko varasaae |

Instead of wearing these beggar's robes, it is better to be a householder, and give to others.

ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਤਿਨਾ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇ ॥

sabad rate tinaa sojhee pee doojai bharam bhulaae |

Those who are attuned to the Word of the Shabad, acquire understanding; the others wander, deluded by doubt.

ਪਇਐ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਕਹਣਾ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

peiai kirat kamaavanaa kahanaa kachhoo na jaae |

They act according to their past actions; it is useless to talk to them.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵਹਿ ਸੇ ਭਲੇ ਜਿਨ ਕੀ ਪਤਿ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਥਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak jo tis bhaaveh se bhale jin kee pat paaveh thaae |1|

O Nanak, those who are pleasing unto the Lord are good; He upholds their honor. ||1||
