Salok, Third Mehl:

ਬਾਬੀਹਾ ਖਸਮੈ ਕਾ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਹੀ ਮਹਲੁ ਦੇਖਿ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ਪਾਇ ॥

baabeehaa khasamai kaa mehal na jaanahee mehal dekh aradaas paae |

O rainbird, you do not know the Mansion of your Lord and Master's Presence. Offer your prayers to see this Mansion.

ਆਪਣੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਬਹੁਤਾ ਬੋਲਹਿ ਬੋਲਿਆ ਥਾਇ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥

aapanai bhaanai bahutaa boleh boliaa thaae na paae |

You speak as you please, but your speech is not accepted.

ਖਸਮੁ ਵਡਾ ਦਾਤਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਇਛੇ ਸੋ ਫਲ ਪਾਇ ॥

khasam vaddaa daataar hai jo ichhe so fal paae |

Your Lord and Master is the Great Giver; whatever you desire, you shall receive from Him.

ਬਾਬੀਹਾ ਕਿਆ ਬਪੁੜਾ ਜਗਤੈ ਕੀ ਤਿਖ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

baabeehaa kiaa bapurraa jagatai kee tikh jaae |1|

Not only the thirst of the poor rainbird, but the thirst of the whole world is quenched. ||1||
