mahalaa 2 |
Second Mehl:
ਦੇਂਦੇ ਥਾਵਹੁ ਦਿਤਾ ਚੰਗਾ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਐਸਾ ਜਾਣੀਐ ॥
dende thaavahu ditaa changaa manamukh aisaa jaaneeai |
They prefer the gift, instead of the Giver; such is the way of the self-willed manmukhs.
ਸੁਰਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਕਿਆ ਕਰਿ ਆਖਿ ਵਖਾਣੀਐ ॥
surat mat chaturaaee taa kee kiaa kar aakh vakhaaneeai |
What can anyone say about their intelligence, their understanding or their cleverness?
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਹਿ ਕੈ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਚਹੁ ਕੁੰਡੀ ਜਾਣੀਐ ॥
antar beh kai karam kamaavai so chahu kunddee jaaneeai |
The deeds which one commits, while sitting in one's own home, are known far and wide, in the four directions.
ਜੋ ਧਰਮੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਧਰਮ ਨਾਉ ਹੋਵੈ ਪਾਪਿ ਕਮਾਣੈ ਪਾਪੀ ਜਾਣੀਐ ॥
jo dharam kamaavai tis dharam naau hovai paap kamaanai paapee jaaneeai |
One who lives righteously is known as righteous; one who commits sins is known as a sinner.
ਤੂੰ ਆਪੇ ਖੇਲ ਕਰਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਕਰਤੇ ਕਿਆ ਦੂਜਾ ਆਖਿ ਵਖਾਣੀਐ ॥
toon aape khel kareh sabh karate kiaa doojaa aakh vakhaaneeai |
You Yourself enact the entire play, O Creator. Why should we speak of any other?
ਜਿਚਰੁ ਤੇਰੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਤਿਚਰੁ ਜੋਤੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਤੂੰ ਬੋਲਹਿ ਵਿਣੁ ਜੋਤੀ ਕੋਈ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰਿਹੁ ਦਿਖਾ ਸਿਆਣੀਐ ॥
jichar teree jot tichar jotee vich toon boleh vin jotee koee kichh karihu dikhaa siaaneeai |
As long as Your Light is within the body, You speak through that Light. Without Your Light, who can do anything? Show me any such cleverness!
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਦਰੀ ਆਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਸੁਘੜੁ ਸੁਜਾਣੀਐ ॥੨॥
naanak guramukh nadaree aaeaa har iko sugharr sujaaneeai |2|
O Nanak, the Lord alone is Perfect and All-knowing; He is revealed to the Gurmukh. ||2||
