ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਦੁਖ ਕਾ ਖੇਤੁ ਹੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਬੀਜੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਖਾਇ ॥

manamukh dukh kaa khet hai dukh beeje dukh khaae |

The self-willed manmukh is the field of sorrow and suffering. He plains sorrow, and eats sorrow.

ਦੁਖ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਦੁਖਿ ਮਰੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਕਰਤ ਵਿਹਾਇ ॥

dukh vich jamai dukh marai haumai karat vihaae |

In sorrow he is born, and in sorrow he dies. Acting in egotism, his life passes away.

ਆਵਣੁ ਜਾਣੁ ਨ ਸੁਝਈ ਅੰਧਾ ਅੰਧੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

aavan jaan na sujhee andhaa andh kamaae |

He does not understand the coming and going of reincarnation; the blind man acts in blindness.

ਜੋ ਦੇਵੈ ਤਿਸੈ ਨ ਜਾਣਈ ਦਿਤੇ ਕਉ ਲਪਟਾਇ ॥

jo devai tisai na jaanee dite kau lapattaae |

He does not know the One who gives, but he is attached to what is given.

ਨਾਨਕ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕਰਣਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak poorab likhiaa kamaavanaa avar na karanaa jaae |2|

O Nanak, he acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. He cannot do anything else. ||2||
