ਮਃ ੧ ॥

mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਸੂਰਜੁ ਚੜੈ ਵਿਜੋਗਿ ਸਭਸੈ ਘਟੈ ਆਰਜਾ ॥

sooraj charrai vijog sabhasai ghattai aarajaa |

The sun rises and sets, and the lives of all run out.

ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਰਤਾ ਭੋਗਿ ਕੋਈ ਹਾਰੈ ਕੋ ਜਿਣੈ ॥

tan man rataa bhog koee haarai ko jinai |

The mind and body experience pleasures; one loses, and another wins.

ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਭਰਿਆ ਫੂਕਿ ਆਖਣਿ ਕਹਣਿ ਨ ਥੰਮੑੀਐ ॥

sabh ko bhariaa fook aakhan kehan na thamaeeai |

Everyone is puffed up with pride; even after they are spoken to, they do not stop.

ਨਾਨਕ ਵੇਖੈ ਆਪਿ ਫੂਕ ਕਢਾਏ ਢਹਿ ਪਵੈ ॥੨॥

naanak vekhai aap fook kadtaae dteh pavai |2|

O Nanak, the Lord Himself sees all; when He takes the air out of the balloon, the body falls. ||2||
