ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੧ ॥

salok mahalaa 1 |

Salok, First Mehl:

ਕਲਿ ਹੋਈ ਕੁਤੇ ਮੁਹੀ ਖਾਜੁ ਹੋਆ ਮੁਰਦਾਰੁ ॥

kal hoee kute muhee khaaj hoaa muradaar |

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, people have faces like dogs; they eat rotting carcasses for food.

ਕੂੜੁ ਬੋਲਿ ਬੋਲਿ ਭਉਕਣਾ ਚੂਕਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

koorr bol bol bhaukanaa chookaa dharam beechaar |

They bark and speak, telling only lies; all thought of righteousness has left them.

ਜਿਨ ਜੀਵੰਦਿਆ ਪਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਮੁਇਆ ਮੰਦੀ ਸੋਇ ॥

jin jeevandiaa pat nahee mueaa mandee soe |

Those who have no honor while alive, will have an evil reputation after they die.

ਲਿਖਿਆ ਹੋਵੈ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥

likhiaa hovai naanakaa karataa kare su hoe |1|

Whatever is predestined, happens, O Nanak; whatever the Creator does, comes to pass. ||1||
