ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਮਾਇਆ ਵੇਖਿ ਭੁਲੇ ਜਿਉ ਦੇਖਿ ਦੀਪਕਿ ਪਤੰਗ ਪਚਾਇਆ ॥

trai gun maaeaa vekh bhule jiau dekh deepak patang pachaaeaa |

Beholding Maya with her three dispositions, he goes astray; he is like the moth, which sees the flame, and is consumed.

ਪੰਡਿਤ ਭੁਲਿ ਭੁਲਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਵੇਖਹਿ ਦਿਖਾ ਕਿਨੈ ਕਿਹੁ ਆਣਿ ਚੜਾਇਆ ॥

panddit bhul bhul maaeaa vekheh dikhaa kinai kihu aan charraaeaa |

The mistaken, deluded Pandits gaze upon Maya, and watch to see whether anyone has offered them something.

ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਪੜਹਿ ਨਿਤ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਵਹੁ ਦਯਿ ਖੁਆਇਆ ॥

doojai bhaae parreh nit bikhiaa naavahu day khuaaeaa |

In the love of duality, they read continually about sin, while the Lord has withheld His Name from them.

ਜੋਗੀ ਜੰਗਮ ਸੰਨਿਆਸੀ ਭੁਲੇ ਓਨੑਾ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਬਹੁ ਗਰਬੁ ਵਧਾਇਆ ॥

jogee jangam saniaasee bhule onaa ahankaar bahu garab vadhaaeaa |

The Yogis, the wandering hermits and the Sannyaasees have gone astray; their egotism and arrogance have increased greatly.

ਛਾਦਨੁ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਨ ਲੈਹੀ ਸਤ ਭਿਖਿਆ ਮਨਹਠਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥

chhaadan bhojan na laihee sat bhikhiaa manahatth janam gavaaeaa |

They do not accept the true donations of clothes and food, and their lives are ruined by their stubborn minds.

ਏਤੜਿਆ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਸਮਧਾ ਜਿਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥

etarriaa vichahu so jan samadhaa jin guramukh naam dhiaaeaa |

Among these, he alone is a man of poise, who, as Gurmukh, meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਈਐ ਜਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਭਿ ਕਰਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

jan naanak kis no aakh sunaaeeai jaa karade sabh karaaeaa |2|

Unto whom should servant Nanak speak and complain? All act as the Lord causes them to act. ||2||
