ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥

salok mahalaa 1 |

Salok, First Mehl:

ਜਾ ਪਕਾ ਤਾ ਕਟਿਆ ਰਹੀ ਸੁ ਪਲਰਿ ਵਾੜਿ ॥

jaa pakaa taa kattiaa rahee su palar vaarr |

When the crop is ripe, then it is cut down; only the stalks are left standing.

ਸਣੁ ਕੀਸਾਰਾ ਚਿਥਿਆ ਕਣੁ ਲਇਆ ਤਨੁ ਝਾੜਿ ॥

san keesaaraa chithiaa kan leaa tan jhaarr |

The corn on the cob is put into the thresher, and the kernels are separated from the cobs.

ਦੁਇ ਪੁੜ ਚਕੀ ਜੋੜਿ ਕੈ ਪੀਸਣ ਆਇ ਬਹਿਠੁ ॥

due purr chakee jorr kai peesan aae bahitth |

Placing the kernels between the two mill-stones, people sit and grind the corn.

ਜੋ ਦਰਿ ਰਹੇ ਸੁ ਉਬਰੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਅਜਬੁ ਡਿਠੁ ॥੧॥

jo dar rahe su ubare naanak ajab dditth |1|

Those kernels which stick to the central axle are spared-Nanak has seen this wonderful vision! ||1||
