Third Mehl:
ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਲੋਕੁ ਸਮਝਾਈਐ ਕਦਹੁ ਸਮਝਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥
manamukh lok samajhaaeeai kadahu samajhaaeaa jaae |
The self-willed manmukhs may be taught, but how can they really be taught?
ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਰਲਾਇਆ ਨਾ ਰਲੈ ਪਇਐ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਫਿਰਾਇ ॥
manamukh ralaaeaa naa ralai peiai kirat firaae |
The manmukhs do not fit in at all. Because of their past actions, they are condemned to the cycle of reincarnation.

liv dhaat due raah hai hukamee kaar kamaae |
Loving attention to the Lord and attachment to Maya are the two separate ways; all act according to the Hukam of the Lord's Command.

He fights with his mind, he settles with his mind, and he is at peace with his mind.
ਮਨੁ ਜੋ ਇਛੇ ਸੋ ਲਹੈ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥
man jo ichhe so lahai sachai sabad subhaae |
All obtain the desires of their minds, through the Love of the True Word of the Shabad.

amrit naam sad bhuncheeai guramukh kaar kamaae |
They drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam forever; this is how the Gurmukhs act.
ਵਿਣੁ ਮਨੈ ਜਿ ਹੋਰੀ ਨਾਲਿ ਲੁਝਣਾ ਜਾਸੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

Those who struggle with something other than their own mind, shall depart having wasted their lives.

Those who conquer their own mind, by Guru's Grace, lovingly focus their attention on the Lord.
