ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੧ ॥

salok mahalaa 1 |

Salok, First Mehl:

ਰੂਪੈ ਕਾਮੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਭੁਖੈ ਸਾਦੈ ਗੰਢੁ ॥

roopai kaamai dosatee bhukhai saadai gandt |

Beauty and sexual desire are friends; hunger and tasty food are tied together.

ਲਬੈ ਮਾਲੈ ਘੁਲਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਮਿਚਲਿ ਊਂਘੈ ਸਉੜਿ ਪਲੰਘੁ ॥

labai maalai ghul mil michal aoonghai saurr palangh |

Greed is bound up in its search for wealth, and sleep will use even a tiny space as a bed.

ਭੰਉਕੈ ਕੋਪੁ ਖੁਆਰੁ ਹੋਇ ਫਕੜੁ ਪਿਟੇ ਅੰਧੁ ॥

bhnaukai kop khuaar hoe fakarr pitte andh |

Anger barks and brings ruin on itself, blindly pursuing useless conflicts.

ਚੁਪੈ ਚੰਗਾ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਮੁਹਿ ਗੰਧੁ ॥੧॥

chupai changaa naanakaa vin naavai muhi gandh |1|

It is good to be silent, O Nanak; without the Name, one's mouth spews forth only filth. ||1||
