mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਹੋਰ ਵਿਡਾਣੀ ਚਾਕਰੀ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣੁ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਵਾਸੁ ॥

hor viddaanee chaakaree dhrig jeevan dhrig vaas |

Cursed is the life, and cursed is the dwelling, of those who serve another.

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਬਿਖੁ ਲਗੇ ਬਿਖੁ ਖਟਣਾ ਬਿਖੁ ਰਾਸਿ ॥

amrit chhodd bikh lage bikh khattanaa bikh raas |

Abandoning the Ambrosial Nectar, they turn to poison; they earn poison, and poison is their only wealth.

ਬਿਖੁ ਖਾਣਾ ਬਿਖੁ ਪੈਨਣਾ ਬਿਖੁ ਕੇ ਮੁਖਿ ਗਿਰਾਸ ॥

bikh khaanaa bikh painanaa bikh ke mukh giraas |

Poison is their food, and poison is their dress; they fill their mouths with morsels of poison.

ਐਥੈ ਦੁਖੋ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਮੁਇਆ ਨਰਕਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥

aithai dukho dukh kamaavanaa mueaa narak nivaas |

In this world, they earn only pain and suffering, and dying, they go to abide in hell.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੁਹਿ ਮੈਲੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਕਾਮ ਕਰੋਧਿ ਵਿਣਾਸੁ ॥

manamukh muhi mailai sabad na jaananee kaam karodh vinaas |

The self-willed manmukhs have filthy faces; they do not know the Word of the Shabad; in sexual desire and anger they waste away.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਛੋਡਿਆ ਮਨਹਠਿ ਕੰਮੁ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਰਾਸਿ ॥

satigur kaa bhau chhoddiaa manahatth kam na aavai raas |

They forsake the Fear of the True Guru, and because of their stubborn ego, their efforts do not come to fruition.

ਜਮ ਪੁਰਿ ਬਧੇ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਕੋ ਨ ਸੁਣੇ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥

jam pur badhe maareeeh ko na sune aradaas |

In the City of Death, they are bound and beaten, and no one hears their prayers.

ਨਾਨਕ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥੨॥

naanak poorab likhiaa kamaavanaa guramukh naam nivaas |2|

O Nanak, they act according to their pre-ordained destiny; the Gurmukh abides in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||
