ਮਃ

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਊਧਾ ਕਉਲੁ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਾਉ

The self-willed manmukh is like the inverted lotus; he has neither devotional worship, nor the Lord's Name.

ਸਕਤੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਕੂੜੁ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਹੈ ਉਪਾਉ

He remains engrossed in material wealth, and his efforts are false.

ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਅੰਦਰੁ ਚਿਤੁ ਭਿਜਈ ਮੁਖਿ ਫੀਕਾ ਆਲਾਉ

His consciousness is not softened within, and the words from his mouth are insipid.

ਓਇ ਧਰਮਿ ਰਲਾਏ ਨਾ ਰਲਨੑਿ ਓਨਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਕੂੜੁ ਸੁਆਉ

He does not mingle with the righteous; within him are falsehood and selfishness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਰਤੈ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਕੂੜੁ ਬੋਲਿ ਬੋਲਿ ਡੁਬੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਤਰੇ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਉ ॥੨॥

O Nanak, the Creator Lord has arranged things, so that the self-willed manmukhs are drowned by telling lies, while the Gurmukhs are saved by chanting the Lord's Name. ||2||
