ਮਃ ੧ ॥

mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਜਿਉ ਜੋਰੂ ਸਿਰਨਾਵਣੀ ਆਵੈ ਵਾਰੋ ਵਾਰ ॥

jiau joroo siranaavanee aavai vaaro vaar |

As a woman has her periods, month after month,

ਜੂਠੇ ਜੂਠਾ ਮੁਖਿ ਵਸੈ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਹੋਇ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥

jootthe jootthaa mukh vasai nit nit hoe khuaar |

so does falsehood dwell in the mouth of the false; they suffer forever, again and again.

ਸੂਚੇ ਏਹਿ ਨ ਆਖੀਅਹਿ ਬਹਨਿ ਜਿ ਪਿੰਡਾ ਧੋਇ ॥

sooche ehi na aakheeeh behan ji pinddaa dhoe |

They are not called pure, who sit down after merely washing their bodies.

ਸੂਚੇ ਸੇਈ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜਿਨ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸੋਇ ॥੨॥

sooche seee naanakaa jin man vasiaa soe |2|

Only they are pure, O Nanak, within whose minds the Lord abides. ||2||
