soratth mahalaa 9 |

Sorat'h, Ninth Mehl:

ਮਾਈ ਮੈ ਕਿਹਿ ਬਿਧਿ ਲਖਉ ਗੁਸਾਈ ॥

maaee mai kihi bidh lkhau gusaaee |

O mother, how can I see the Lord of the world?

ਮਹਾ ਮੋਹ ਅਗਿਆਨਿ ਤਿਮਰਿ ਮੋ ਮਨੁ ਰਹਿਓ ਉਰਝਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

mahaa moh agiaan timar mo man rahio urajhaaee |1| rahaau |

In the utter darkness of emotional attachment and spiritual ignorance, my mind remains entangled. ||1||Pause||

ਸਗਲ ਜਨਮ ਭਰਮ ਹੀ ਭਰਮ ਖੋਇਓ ਨਹ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਮਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥

sagal janam bharam hee bharam khoeo neh asathir mat paaee |

Deluded by doubt, I have wasted my whole life; I have not obtained a stable intellect.

ਬਿਖਿਆਸਕਤ ਰਹਿਓ ਨਿਸ ਬਾਸੁਰ ਨਹ ਛੂਟੀ ਅਧਮਾਈ ॥੧॥

bikhiaasakat rahio nis baasur neh chhoottee adhamaaee |1|

I remain under the influence of corrupting sins, night and day, and I have not renounced wickedness. ||1||

ਸਾਧਸੰਗੁ ਕਬਹੂ ਨਹੀ ਕੀਨਾ ਨਹ ਕੀਰਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਗਾਈ ॥

saadhasang kabahoo nahee keenaa neh keerat prabh gaaee |

I never joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and I did not sing the Kirtan of God's Praises.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੈ ਨਾਹਿ ਕੋਊ ਗੁਨੁ ਰਾਖਿ ਲੇਹੁ ਸਰਨਾਈ ॥੨॥੬॥

jan naanak mai naeh koaoo gun raakh lehu saranaaee |2|6|

O servant Nanak, I have no virtues at all; keep me in Your Sanctuary, Lord. ||2||6||
