mahalaa 3 |
Third Mehl:
ਕੰਤਾ ਨਾਲਿ ਮਹੇਲੀਆ ਸੇਤੀ ਅਗਿ ਜਲਾਹਿ ॥
kantaa naal maheleea setee ag jalaeh |
The widows burn themselves in the fire, along with their husbands' corpses.
ਜੇ ਜਾਣਹਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਤਾ ਤਨਿ ਦੁਖ ਸਹਾਹਿ ॥
je jaaneh pir aapanaa taa tan dukh sahaeh |
If they truly knew their husbands, then they suffer terrible bodily pain.
ਨਾਨਕ ਕੰਤ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਸੇ ਕਿਉ ਅਗਿ ਜਲਾਹਿ ॥
naanak kant na jaananee se kiau ag jalaeh |
O Nanak, if they did not truly know their husbands, why should they burn themselves in the fire?
ਭਾਵੈ ਜੀਵਉ ਕੈ ਮਰਉ ਦੂਰਹੁ ਹੀ ਭਜਿ ਜਾਹਿ ॥੩॥
bhaavai jeevau kai mrau doorahu hee bhaj jaeh |3|
Whether their husbands are alive or dead, those wives remain far away from them. ||3||
