ਮਃ ੨ ॥
mahalaa 2 |
Second Mehl:
ਆਖਣੁ ਆਖਿ ਨ ਰਜਿਆ ਸੁਨਣਿ ਨ ਰਜੇ ਕੰਨ ॥
aakhan aakh na rajiaa sunan na raje kan |
The mouth is not satisfied by speaking, and the ears are not satisfied by hearing.
ਅਖੀ ਦੇਖਿ ਨ ਰਜੀਆ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਹਕ ਇਕ ਵੰਨ ॥
akhee dekh na rajeea gun gaahak ik van |
The eyes are not satisfied by seeing-each organ seeks out one sensory quality.
ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਗਲੀ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
bhukhiaa bhukh na utarai galee bhukh na jaae |
The hunger of the hungry is not appeased; by mere words, hunger is not relieved.
ਨਾਨਕ ਭੁਖਾ ਤਾ ਰਜੈ ਜਾ ਗੁਣ ਕਹਿ ਗੁਣੀ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੨॥
naanak bhukhaa taa rajai jaa gun keh gunee samaae |2|
O Nanak, hunger is relieved only when one utters the Glorious Praises of the Praiseworthy Lord. ||2||
