Salok, Third Mehl:
ਸਤੀਆ ਏਹਿ ਨ ਆਖੀਅਨਿ ਜੋ ਮੜਿਆ ਲਗਿ ਜਲੰਨਿੑ ॥
sateea ehi na aakheean jo marriaa lag jalana |
Do not call them 'satee', who burn themselves along with their husbands' corpses.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤੀਆ ਜਾਣੀਅਨਿੑ ਜਿ ਬਿਰਹੇ ਚੋਟ ਮਰੰਨਿੑ ॥੧॥
naanak sateea jaaneeana ji birahe chott marana |1|
O Nanak, they alone are known as 'satee', who die from the shock of separation. ||1||
