ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਗੁਬਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਤਿਸ ਦਾ ਨ ਦਿਸੈ ਉਰਵਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਰੁ ॥

maaeaa mohu gubaar hai tis daa na disai uravaar na paar |

Attachment to Maya is an ocean of darkness; neither this shore nor the one beyond can be seen.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਮਹਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦੇ ਡੁਬੇ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ॥

manamukh agiaanee mahaa dukh paaeide ddube har naam visaar |

The ignorant, self-willed manmukhs suffer in terrible pain; they forget the Lord's Name and drown.

ਭਲਕੇ ਉਠਿ ਬਹੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

bhalake utth bahu karam kamaaveh doojai bhaae piaar |

They arise in the morning and perform all sorts of rituals, but they are caught in the love of duality.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਆਪਣਾ ਭਉਜਲੁ ਉਤਰੇ ਪਾਰਿ ॥

satigur seveh aapanaa bhaujal utare paar |

Those who serve the True Guru cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਵਹਿ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੨॥

naanak guramukh sach samaaveh sach naam ur dhaar |2|

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs keep the True Name enshrined in their hearts; they are absorbed into the True One. ||2||
