Salok, Third Mehl:

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਨ ਲਾਇਓ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵਸਿਓ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

satigur siau chit na laaeo naam na vasio man aae |

One who has not focused his consciousness on the True Guru, and into whose mind the Naam does not come

ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਇਵੇਹਾ ਜੀਵਿਆ ਕਿਆ ਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਆਇ ॥

dhrig ivehaa jeeviaa kiaa jug meh paaeaa aae |

cursed is such a life. What has he gained by coming into the world?

ਮਾਇਆ ਖੋਟੀ ਰਾਸਿ ਹੈ ਏਕ ਚਸੇ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਜੁ ਲਹਿ ਜਾਇ ॥

maaeaa khottee raas hai ek chase meh paaj leh jaae |

Maya is false capital; in an instant, its false covering falls off.

ਹਥਹੁ ਛੁੜਕੀ ਤਨੁ ਸਿਆਹੁ ਹੋਇ ਬਦਨੁ ਜਾਇ ਕੁਮਲਾਇ ॥

hathahu chhurrakee tan siaahu hoe badan jaae kumalaae |

When it slips from his hand, his body turns black, and his face withers away.

ਜਿਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਆ ਤਿਨੑ ਸੁਖੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

jin satigur siau chit laaeaa tina sukh vasiaa man aae |

Those who focus their consciousness on the True Guru - peace comes to abide in their minds.

ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵਹਿ ਰੰਗ ਸਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥

har naam dhiaaveh rang siau har naam rahe liv laae |

They meditate on the Name of the Lord with love; they are lovingly attuned to the Name of the Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੋ ਧਨੁ ਸਉਪਿਆ ਜਿ ਜੀਅ ਮਹਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

naanak satigur so dhan saupiaa ji jeea meh rahiaa samaae |

O Nanak, the True Guru has bestowed upon them the wealth, which remains contained within their hearts.

ਰੰਗੁ ਤਿਸੈ ਕਉ ਅਗਲਾ ਵੰਨੀ ਚੜੈ ਚੜਾਇ ॥੧॥

rang tisai kau agalaa vanee charrai charraae |1|

They are imbued with supreme love; its color increases day by day. ||1||
