salok mahalaa 4 |

Salok, Fourth Mehl:

ਮਲੁ ਜੂਈ ਭਰਿਆ ਨੀਲਾ ਕਾਲਾ ਖਿਧੋਲੜਾ ਤਿਨਿ ਵੇਮੁਖਿ ਵੇਮੁਖੈ ਨੋ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

mal jooee bhariaa neelaa kaalaa khidholarraa tin vemukh vemukhai no paaeaa |

The faithless baymukh sent out his faithless servant, wearing a blue-black coat, filled with filth and vermin.

ਪਾਸਿ ਨ ਦੇਈ ਕੋਈ ਬਹਣਿ ਜਗਤ ਮਹਿ ਗੂਹ ਪੜਿ ਸਗਵੀ ਮਲੁ ਲਾਇ ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਆਇਆ ॥

paas na deee koee behan jagat meh gooh parr sagavee mal laae manamukh aaeaa |

No one in the world will sit near him; the self-willed manmukh fell into manure, and returned with even more filth covering him.

ਪਰਾਈ ਜੋ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਚੁਗਲੀ ਨੋ ਵੇਮੁਖੁ ਕਰਿ ਕੈ ਭੇਜਿਆ ਓਥੈ ਭੀ ਮੁਹੁ ਕਾਲਾ ਦੁਹਾ ਵੇਮੁਖਾ ਦਾ ਕਰਾਇਆ ॥

paraaee jo nindaa chugalee no vemukh kar kai bhejiaa othai bhee muhu kaalaa duhaa vemukhaa daa karaaeaa |

The faithless baymukh was sent to slander and back-bite others, but when he went there, the faces of both he and his faithless master were blackened instead.

ਤੜ ਸੁਣਿਆ ਸਭਤੁ ਜਗਤ ਵਿਚਿ ਭਾਈ ਵੇਮੁਖੁ ਸਣੈ ਨਫਰੈ ਪਉਲੀ ਪਉਦੀ ਫਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ ਉਠਿ ਘਰਿ ਆਇਆ ॥

tarr suniaa sabhat jagat vich bhaaee vemukh sanai nafarai paulee paudee faavaa hoe kai utth ghar aaeaa |

It was immediately heard throughout the whole world, O Siblings of Destiny, that this faithless man, along with his servant, was kicked and beaten with shoes; in humiliation, they got up and returned to their homes.

ਅਗੈ ਸੰਗਤੀ ਕੁੜਮੀ ਵੇਮੁਖੁ ਰਲਣਾ ਨ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾ ਵਹੁਟੀ ਭਤੀਜਂ‍ੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਣਿ ਘਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

agai sangatee kurramee vemukh ralanaa na milai taa vahuttee bhateejanee fir aan ghar paaeaa |

The faithless baymukh was not allowed to mingle with others; his wife and niece then brought him home to lie down.

ਹਲਤੁ ਪਲਤੁ ਦੋਵੈ ਗਏ ਨਿਤ ਭੁਖਾ ਕੂਕੇ ਤਿਹਾਇਆ ॥

halat palat dovai ge nit bhukhaa kooke tihaaeaa |

He has lost both this world and the next; he cries out continually, in hunger and thirst.

ਧਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਨਿਆਉ ਸਚੁ ਬਹਿ ਆਪਿ ਕਰਾਇਆ ॥

dhan dhan suaamee karataa purakh hai jin niaau sach beh aap karaaeaa |

Blessed, blessed is the Creator, the Primal Being, our Lord and Master; He Himself sits and dispenses true justice.

ਜੋ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਕੀ ਸੋ ਸਾਚੈ ਮਾਰਿ ਪਚਾਇਆ ॥

jo nindaa kare satigur poore kee so saachai maar pachaaeaa |

One who slanders the Perfect True Guru is punished and destroyed by the True Lord.

ਏਹੁ ਅਖਰੁ ਤਿਨਿ ਆਖਿਆ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਗਤੁ ਸਭੁ ਉਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥

ehu akhar tin aakhiaa jin jagat sabh upaaeaa |1|

This Word is spoken by the One who created the whole universe. ||1||
