ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੯ ॥

soraTh mahalaa nauvaa ||

Sorat'h, Ninth Mehla:

ਮਨ ਕੀ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ਰਹੀ ॥

man kee man hee maeh rahee ||

The mind remains in the mind.

ਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਭਜੇ ਨ ਤੀਰਥ ਸੇਵੇ ਚੋਟੀ ਕਾਲਿ ਗਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

naa har bhaje na teerath seve choTee kaal gahee ||1|| rahaau ||

He does not meditate on the Lord, nor does he perform service at sacred shrines, and so death seizes him by the hair. ||1||Pause||

ਦਾਰਾ ਮੀਤ ਪੂਤ ਰਥ ਸੰਪਤਿ ਧਨ ਪੂਰਨ ਸਭ ਮਹੀ ॥

dhaaraa meet poot rath sa(n)pat dhan pooran sabh mahee ||

Wife, friends, children, carriages, property, total wealth, the entire world

ਅਵਰ ਸਗਲ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਏ ਜਾਨਉ ਭਜਨੁ ਰਾਮੁ ਕੋ ਸਹੀ ॥੧॥

avar sagal mithiaa e jaanau bhajan raam ko sahee ||1||

- know that all of these things are false. The Lord's meditation alone is true. ||1||

ਫਿਰਤ ਫਿਰਤ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਜੁਗ ਹਾਰਿਓ ਮਾਨਸ ਦੇਹ ਲਹੀ ॥

firat firat bahute jug haario maanas dheh lahee ||

Wandering, wandering around for so many ages, he has grown weary, and finally, he obtained this human body.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਹਤ ਮਿਲਨ ਕੀ ਬਰੀਆ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਕਹਾ ਨਹੀ ॥੨॥੨॥

naanak kahat milan kee bareeaa simarat kahaa nahee ||2||2||

Says Nanak, this is the opportunity to meet the Lord; why don't you remember Him in meditation? ||2||2||
