Third Mehl:
ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕਾਲੀ ਧਉਲੀ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਚਿਤਿ ਕਰੇ ॥
fareedaa kaalee dhaulee saahib sadaa hai je ko chit kare |
Fareed, whether one's hair is black or grey, our Lord and Master is always here if one remembers Him.
ਆਪਣਾ ਲਾਇਆ ਪਿਰਮੁ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਜੇ ਲੋਚੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਇ ॥
aapanaa laaeaa piram na lagee je lochai sabh koe |
This loving devotion to the Lord does not come by one's own efforts, even though all may long for it.
ਏਹੁ ਪਿਰਮੁ ਪਿਆਲਾ ਖਸਮ ਕਾ ਜੈ ਭਾਵੈ ਤੈ ਦੇਇ ॥੧੩॥
ehu piram piaalaa khasam kaa jai bhaavai tai dee |13|
This cup of loving devotion belongs to our Lord and Master; He gives it to whomever He likes. ||13||
