ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਜੀਵਤ ਮਰਣਾ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਜੀਵਨ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਿਉ ਹੋਇ ॥

jeevat maranaa sabh ko kahai jeevan mukat kiau hoe |

Everyone can say that they are dead while yet alive; how can they be liberated while yet alive?

ਭੈ ਕਾ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਜੇ ਕਰੇ ਦਾਰੂ ਭਾਉ ਲਾਏਇ ॥

bhai kaa sanjam je kare daaroo bhaau laaee |

If someone restrains himself through the Fear of God, and takes the medicine of the Love of God,

ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜੇ ਬਿਖੁ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਨਾਮਿ ਤਰੇਇ ॥

anadin gun gaavai sukh sahaje bikh bhavajal naam taree |

night and day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. In celestial peace and poise, he crosses over the poisonous, terrifying world-ocean, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥੩॥

naanak guramukh paaeeai jaa kau nadar karee |3|

O Nanak, the Gurmukh finds the Lord; he is blessed with His Glance of Grace. ||3||
