First Mehl, Salok:
ਸੋ ਜੀਵਿਆ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸੋਇ ॥
so jeeviaa jis man vasiaa soe |
They alone are truly alive, whose minds are filled with the Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਜੀਵੈ ਕੋਇ ॥
naanak avar na jeevai koe |
O Nanak, no one else is truly alive;
ਜੇ ਜੀਵੈ ਪਤਿ ਲਥੀ ਜਾਇ ॥
je jeevai pat lathee jaae |
those who merely live shall depart in dishonor;
ਸਭੁ ਹਰਾਮੁ ਜੇਤਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਖਾਇ ॥
sabh haraam jetaa kichh khaae |
everything they eat is impure.
ਰਾਜਿ ਰੰਗੁ ਮਾਲਿ ਰੰਗੁ ॥
raaj rang maal rang |
Intoxicated with power and thrilled with wealth,
ਰੰਗਿ ਰਤਾ ਨਚੈ ਨੰਗੁ ॥
rang rataa nachai nang |
They delight in their pleasures, and dance about shamelessly.
ਨਾਨਕ ਠਗਿਆ ਮੁਠਾ ਜਾਇ ॥
naanak tthagiaa mutthaa jaae |
O Nanak, they are deluded and defrauded.
ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਪਤਿ ਗਇਆ ਗਵਾਇ ॥੧॥
vin naavai pat geaa gavaae |1|
Without the Lord's Name, they lose their honor and depart. ||1||
