ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਹੰਉਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਖੜਕੁ ਹੈ ਖੜਕੇ ਖੜਕਿ ਵਿਹਾਇ ॥

hnaumai andar kharrak hai kharrake kharrak vihaae |

In egotism, one is assailed by fear; he passes his life totally troubled by fear.

ਹੰਉਮੈ ਵਡਾ ਰੋਗੁ ਹੈ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

hnaumai vaddaa rog hai mar jamai aavai jaae |

Egotism is such a terrible disease; he dies, to be reincarnated - he continues coming and going.

ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਤਿਨਾ ਸਤਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਇ ॥

jin kau poorab likhiaa tinaa satagur miliaa prabh aae |

Those who have such pre-ordained destiny meet with the True Guru, God Incarnate.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਉਬਰੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak gur parasaadee ubare haumai sabad jalaae |2|

O Nanak, by Guru's Grace, they are redeemed; their egos are burnt away through the Word of the Shabad. ||2||
