ਮਃ ੧ ॥
mahalaa 1 |
First Mehl:
ਦੁਖੀ ਦੁਨੀ ਸਹੇੜੀਐ ਜਾਇ ਤ ਲਗਹਿ ਦੁਖ ॥
dukhee dunee saherreeai jaae ta lageh dukh |
Worldly possessions are obtained by pain and suffering; when they are gone, they leave pain and suffering.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਿਸੈ ਨ ਲਥੀ ਭੁਖ ॥
naanak sache naam bin kisai na lathee bhukh |
O Nanak, without the True Name, hunger is never satisfied.
ਰੂਪੀ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਜਾਂ ਦੇਖਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਭੁਖ ॥
roopee bhukh na utarai jaan dekhaan taan bhukh |
Beauty does not satisfy hunger; when the man sees beauty, he hungers even more.
ਜੇਤੇ ਰਸ ਸਰੀਰ ਕੇ ਤੇਤੇ ਲਗਹਿ ਦੁਖ ॥੨॥
jete ras sareer ke tete lageh dukh |2|
As many as are the pleasures of the body, so many are the pains which afflict it. ||2||
