Shalok Sehskritee, First Mehl:
ਪੜਹਹਿ ਪਸਤਕ ਸੰਧਿਆ ਬਾਦੰ ॥
You study the scriptures, say your prayers and argue;
ਸਿਲ ਪੂਜਸਿ ਬਗਲ ਸਮਾਧੰ ॥
you worship stones and sit like a crane, pretending to meditate.
ਮਖਿ ਝੂਠ ਬਿਭੂਖਨ ਸਾਰੰ ॥
You speak lies and well-ornamented falsehood,
ਤਰੈਪਾਲ ਤਿਹਾਲ ਬਿਚਾਰੰ ॥
and recite your daily prayers three times a day.
ਗਲਿ ਮਾਲਾ ਤਿਲਕ ਲਿਲਾਟੰ ॥
The mala is around your neck, and the sacred tilak mark is on your forehead.
ਦਇ ਧੋਤੀ ਬਸਤਰ ਕਪਾਟੰ ॥
You wear two loin cloths, and keep your head covered.
ਜੋ ਜਾਨਸਿ ਬਰਹਮੰ ਕਰਮੰ ॥
If you know God and the nature of karma,
ਸਭ ਫੋਕਟ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਮੰ ॥
you know that all these rituals and beliefs are useless.
ਕਹ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਿਸਚੌ ਧਯਯਿਵੈ ॥
Says Nanak, meditate on the Lord with faith.
ਬਿਨ ਸਤਿਗਰ ਬਾਟ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੧॥
Without the True Guru, no one finds the Way. ||1||
ਨਿਹਫਲੰ ਤਸਯਯ ਜਨਮਸਯਯ ਜਾਵਦ ਬਰਹਮ ਨ ਬਿੰਦਤੇ ॥
The mortal's life is fruitless, as long as he does not know God.
ਸਾਗਰੰ ਸੰਸਾਰਸਯਯ ਗਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਤਰਹਿ ਕੇ ॥
Only a few, by Guru's Grace, cross over the world-ocean.
ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥ ਹੈ ਕਹ ਨਾਨਕ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥
The Creator, the Cause of causes, is All-powerful. Thus speaks Nanak, after deep deliberation.
ਕਾਰਣ ਕਰਤੇ ਵਸਿ ਹੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਕਲ ਰਖੀ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੨॥
The Creation is under the control of the Creator. By His Power, He sustains and supports it. ||2||
ਜੋਗ ਸਬਦੰ ਗਿਆਨ ਸਬਦੰ ਬੇਦ ਸਬਦੰ ਤ ਬਰਾਹਮਣਹ ॥
The Shabad is Yoga, the Shabad is spiritual wisdom; the Shabad is the Vedas for the Brahmin.
ਖਯਯਤਰੀ ਸਬਦੰ ਸੂਰ ਸਬਦੰ ਸੂਦਰ ਸਬਦੰ ਪਰਾ ਕਰਿਤਹ ॥
The Shabad is heroic bravery for the Khshaatriya; the Shabad is service to others for the Soodra.
ਸਰਬ ਸਬਦੰ ਤ ਝਕ ਸਬਦੰ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਜਾਨਸਿ ਭੇਉ ॥
The Shabad for all is the Shabad, the Word of the One God, for one who knows this secret.
ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਦਾਸ ਹੈ ਸੋਈ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਦੇਉ ॥੩॥
Nanak is the slave of the Divine, Immaculate Lord. ||3||
ਝਕ ਕਰਿਸਨੰ ਤ ਸਰਬ ਦੇਵਾ ਦੇਵ ਦੇਵਾ ਤ ਆਤਮਹ ॥
The One Lord is the Divinity of all divinities and he is the Divinity of the soul;
ਆਤਮੰ ਸਰੀ ਬਾਸਵਦੇਵਸਯਯ ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਨਸਿ ਭੇਵ ॥
if any one knows the mystery of the soul and the Omnipresent Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਦਾਸ ਹੈ ਸੋਈ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਦੇਵ ॥੪॥
Nanak is the slave of that one who knows the Secrets of the soul and the Supreme Lord God. He is the Divine Immaculate Lord Himself. ||4||
