ਮਃ ੧ ॥
mahalaa 1 |
First Mehl:
ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹੁ ਜੀਉ ਮਛੁਲੀ ਝੀਵਰੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਕਾਲੁ ॥
naanak ihu jeeo machhulee jheevar trisanaa kaal |
O Nanak, this soul is the fish, and death is the hungry fisherman.
ਮਨੂਆ ਅੰਧੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਈ ਪੜੈ ਅਚਿੰਤਾ ਜਾਲੁ ॥
manooaa andh na chetee parrai achintaa jaal |
The blind man does not even think of this. And suddenly, the net is cast.
ਨਾਨਕ ਚਿਤੁ ਅਚੇਤੁ ਹੈ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਬਧਾ ਜਾਇ ॥
naanak chit achet hai chintaa badhaa jaae |
O Nanak, his consciousness is unconscious, and he departs, bound by anxiety.
ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਜੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਤਾ ਆਪੇ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥੨॥
nadar kare je aapanee taa aape le milaae |2|
But if the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then He unites the soul with Himself. ||2||
