ੴ

Salok, Third Mehl:

Cursed are the hopes in the love of duality; they tie the consciousness to love and attachment to Maya.

One who forsakes the peace of the Lord in exchange for straw, and forgets the Naam, suffers in pain.

The ignorant self-willed manmukhs are blind. They are born, only to die again, and continue coming and going.

Their affairs are not resolved, and in the end, they depart, regretting and repenting.

One who is blessed with the Lord's Grace, meets the True Guru; he alone meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Imbued with the Naam, the humble servants of the Lord find a lasting peace; servant Nanak is a sacrifice to them. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Hope and desire entice the world; they entice the whole universe.

Everyone, and all that has been created, is under the domination of Death.

By the Hukam of the Lord's Command, Death seizes the mortal; he alone is saved, whom the Creator Lord forgives.

O Nanak, by Guru's Grace, this mortal swims across, if he abandons his ego.

Conquer hope and desire, and remain unattached; contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

Pauree:

Wherever I go in this world, I see the Lord there.

In the world hereafter as well, the Lord, the True Judge Himself, is pervading and permeating everywhere.

The faces of the false are cursed, while the true devotees are blessed with glorious greatness.

True is the Lord and Master, and true is His justice. The heads of the slanderers are covered with ashes.

Servant Nanak worships the True Lord in adoration; as Gurmukh, he finds peace. ||5||
