ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੧ ॥
salok mahalaa 1 |
Salok, First Mehl:
ਰੂਪੈ ਕਾਮੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਭੁਖੈ ਸਾਦੈ ਗੰਢੁ ॥
roopai kaamai dosatee bhukhai saadai gandt |
Beauty and sexual desire are friends; hunger and tasty food are tied together.
ਲਬੈ ਮਾਲੈ ਘੁਲਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਮਿਚਲਿ ਊਂਘੈ ਸਉੜਿ ਪਲੰਘੁ ॥
labai maalai ghul mil michal aoonghai saurr palangh |
Greed is bound up in its search for wealth, and sleep will use even a tiny space as a bed.
ਭੰਉਕੈ ਕੋਪੁ ਖੁਆਰੁ ਹੋਇ ਫਕੜੁ ਪਿਟੇ ਅੰਧੁ ॥
bhnaukai kop khuaar hoe fakarr pitte andh |
Anger barks and brings ruin on itself, blindly pursuing useless conflicts.
ਚੁਪੈ ਚੰਗਾ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਮੁਹਿ ਗੰਧੁ ॥੧॥
chupai changaa naanakaa vin naavai muhi gandh |1|
It is good to be silent, O Nanak; without the Name, one's mouth spews forth only filth. ||1||
