ਬੁਢਾ ਹੋਆ ਸੇਖ ਫਰੀਦੁ ਕੰਬਣਿ ਲਗੀ ਦੇਹ ॥
budtaa hoaa sekh fareed kanban lagee deh |

Shaykh Fareed has grown old, and his body has begun to tremble.

ਜੇ ਸਉ ਵਰਿੑਆ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਭੀ ਤਨੁ ਹੋਸੀ ਖੇਹ ॥੪੧॥
je sau variaa jeevanaa bhee tan hosee kheh |41|

Even if he could live for hundreds of years, his body will eventually turn to dust. ||41||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਬਾਰਿ ਪਰਾਇਐ ਬੈਸਣਾ ਸਾਂਈ ਮੁਝੈ ਨ ਦੇਹਿ ॥
fareedaa baar paraaeaai baisanaa saanee mujhai na dehi |

Fareed begs, O Lord, do not make me sit at another's door.

ਜੇ ਤੂ ਏਵੈ ਰਖਸੀ ਜੀਉ ਸਰੀਰਹੁ ਲੇਹਿ ॥੪੨॥
je too evai rakhasee jeeo sareerahu lehi |42|

If this is the way you are going to keep me, then go ahead and take the life out of my body. ||42||

ਕੰਧਿ ਕੁਹਾੜਾ ਸਿਰਿ ਘੜਾ ਵਣਿ ਕੈ ਸਰੁ ਲੋਹਾਰੁ ॥
kandh kuhaarraa sir gharraa van kai sar lohaar |

With the axe on his shoulder, and a bucket on his head, the blacksmith is ready to cut down the tree.

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਹਉ ਲੋੜੀ ਸਹੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਤੂ ਲੋੜਹਿ ਅੰਗਿਆਰ ॥੪੩॥
fareedaa hau lorree sahu aapanaa too lorreh angiaar |43|

Fareed, I long for my Lord; you long only for the charcoal. ||43||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਇਕਨਾ ਆਟਾ ਅਗਲਾ ਇਕਨਾ ਨਾਹੀ ਲੋਣੁ ॥
fareedaa ikanaa aattaa agalaa ikanaa naahee lon |

Fareed, some have lots of flour, while others do not even have salt.

ਅਗੈ ਗਏ ਸਿੰਞਾਪਸਨਿ ਚੋਟਾਂ ਖਾਸੀ ਕਉਣੁ ॥੪੪॥
agai ge sinyaapasan chottaan khaasee kaun |44|

When they go beyond this world, it shall be seen, who will be punished. ||44||

ਪਾਸਿ ਦਮਾਮੇ ਛਤੁ ਸਿਰਿ ਭੇਰੀ ਸਡੋ ਰਡ ॥
paas damaame chhat sir bheree saddo radd |

Drums were beaten in their honor, there were canopies above their heads, and bugles announced their coming.

ਜਾਇ ਸੁਤੇ ਜੀਰਾਣ ਮਹਿ ਥੀਏ ਅਤੀਮਾ ਗਡ ॥੪੫॥
jaae sute jeeraan meh thee ateemaa gadd |45|

They have gone to sleep in the cemetary, buried like poor orphans. ||45||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕੋਠੇ ਮੰਡਪ ਮਾੜੀਆ ਉਸਾਰੇਦੇ ਭੀ ਗਏ ॥
fareedaa kotthe manddap maarreea usaarede bhee ge |

Fareed, those who built houses, mansions and lofty buildings, are also gone.

ਕੂੜਾ ਸਉਦਾ ਕਰਿ ਗਏ ਗੋਰੀ ਆਇ ਪਏ ॥੪੬॥
koorraa saudaa kar ge goree aae pe |46|

They made false deals, and were dropped into their graves. ||46||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਖਿੰਥੜਿ ਮੇਖਾ ਅਗਲੀਆ ਜਿੰਦੁ ਨ ਕਾਈ ਮੇਖ ॥
fareedaa khintharr mekhaa agaleea jind na kaaee mekh |

Fareed, there are many seams on the patched coat, but there are no seams on the soul.

ਵਾਰੀ ਆਪੋ ਆਪਣੀ ਚਲੇ ਮਸਾਇਕ ਸੇਖ ॥੪੭॥
vaaree aapo aapanee chale masaaeik sekh |47|

The shaykhs and their disciples have all departed, each in his own turn. ||47||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਦੁਹੁ ਦੀਵੀ ਬਲੰਦਿਆ ਮਲਕੁ ਬਹਿਠਾ ਆਇ ॥
fareedaa duhu deevee balandiaa malak bahitthaa aae |

Fareed, the two lamps are lit, but death has come anyway.

ਗੜੁ ਲੀਤਾ ਘਟੁ ਲੁਟਿਆ ਦੀਵੜੇ ਗਇਆ ਬੁਝਾਇ ॥੪੮॥
garr leetaa ghatt luttiaa deevarre geaa bujhaae |48|

It has captured the fortress of the body, and plundered the home of the heart; it extinguishes the lamps and departs. ||48||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਵੇਖੁ ਕਪਾਹੈ ਜਿ ਥੀਆ ਜਿ ਸਿਰਿ ਥੀਆ ਤਿਲਾਹ ॥
fareedaa vekh kapaahai ji theea ji sir theea tilaah |

Fareed, look at what has happened to the cotton and the sesame seed,

ਕਮਾਦੈ ਅਰੁ ਕਾਗਦੈ ਕੁੰਨੇ ਕੋਇਲਿਆਹ ॥
kamaadai ar kaagadai kune koeiliaah |

the sugar cane and paper, the clay pots and the charcoal.

ਮੰਦੇ ਅਮਲ ਕਰੇਦਿਆ ਏਹ ਸਜਾਇ ਤਿਨਾਹ ॥੪੯॥
mande amal karediaa eh sajaae tinaah |49|

This is the punishment for those who do evil deeds. ||49||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕੰਨਿ ਮੁਸਲਾ ਸੂਫੁ ਗਲਿ ਦਿਲਿ ਕਾਤੀ ਗੁੜੁ ਵਾਤਿ ॥
fareedaa kan musalaa soof gal dil kaatee gurr vaat |

Fareed, you wear your prayer shawl on your shoulders and the robes of a Sufi; your words are sweet, but there is a dagger in your heart.

ਬਾਹਰਿ ਦਿਸੈ ਚਾਨਣਾ ਦਿਲਿ ਅੰਧਿਆਰੀ ਰਾਤਿ ॥੫੦॥
baahar disai chaananaa dil andhiaaree raat |50|

Outwardly, you look bright, but your heart is dark as night. ||50||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਰਤੀ ਰਤੁ ਨ ਨਿਕਲੈ ਜੇ ਤਨੁ ਚੀਰੈ ਕੋਇ ॥
fareedaa ratee rat na nikalai je tan cheerai koe |

Fareed, not even a drop of blood would issue forth, if someone cut my body.

ਜੋ ਤਨ ਰਤੇ ਰਬ ਸਿਉ ਤਿਨ ਤਨਿ ਰਤੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੫੧॥
jo tan rate rab siau tin tan rat na hoe |51|

Those bodies which are imbued with the Lord - those bodies contain no blood. ||51||

ਮਃ ੩ ॥
mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਸਭੋ ਰਤੁ ਹੈ ਰਤੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਤੰਨੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥
eihu tan sabho rat hai rat bin tan na hoe |

This body is all blood; without blood, this body could not exist.

ਜੋ ਸਹ ਰਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਤਿਤੁ ਤਨਿ ਲੋਭੁ ਰਤੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥
jo sah rate aapane tith tan lobh rat na hoe |

Those who are imbued with their Lord, do not have the blood of greed in their bodies.

ਭੈ ਪਇਐ ਤਨੁ ਖੀਣੁ ਹੋਇ ਲੋਭੁ ਰਤੁ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥
bhai peaai tan kheen hoe lobh rat vichahu jaae |

When the Fear of God fills the body, it becomes thin; the blood of greed departs from within.

ਜਿਉ ਬੈਸੰਤਰਿ ਧਾਤੁ ਸੁਧੁ ਹੋਇ ਤਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥
jiau baisantar dhaat sudh hoe tiau har kaa bhau duramat mail gavaae |

Just as metal is purified by fire, the Fear of God removes the filthy residues of evil-mindedness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਜਨ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਜਿ ਰਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥੫੨॥
naanak te jan sohane ji rate har rang laae |52|

O Nanak, those humble beings are beautiful, who are imbued with the Lord's Love. ||52||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਸੋਈ ਸਰਵਰੁ ਢੂਢਿ ਲਹੁ ਜਿਥਹੁ ਲਭੀ ਵਥੁ ॥
fareedaa soee saravar dtoodt lahu jithahu labhee vath |

Fareed, seek that sacred pool, in which the genuine article is found.

ਛਪੜਿ ਢੂਢੈ ਕਿਆ ਹੋਵੈ ਚਿਕੜਿ ਡੁਬੈ ਹਥੁ ॥੫੩॥
chhaparr dtoodtai kiaa hovai chikarr ddubai hath |53|

Why do you bother to search in the pond? Your hand will only sink into the mud. ||53||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਨੰਢੀ ਕੰਤੁ ਨ ਰਾਵਿਓ ਵਡੀ ਥੀ ਮੁਈਆਸੁ ॥
fareedaa nandtee kant na raavio vaddee thee mueeaas |

Fareed, when she is young, she does not enjoy her Husband. When she grows up, she dies.

ਧਨ ਕੂਕੇਂਦੀ ਗੋਰ ਮੇਂ ਤੈ ਸਹ ਨਾ ਮਿਲੀਆਸੁ ॥੫੪॥
dhan kookendee gor men tai sah naa mileeaas |54|

Lying in the grave, the soul-bride cries, "I did not meet You, my Lord." ||54||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਸਿਰੁ ਪਲਿਆ ਦਾੜੀ ਪਲੀ ਮੁਛਾਂ ਭੀ ਪਲੀਆਂ ॥
fareedaa sir paliaa daarree palee muchhaan bhee paleean |

Fareed, your hair has turned grey, your beard has turned grey, and your moustache has turned grey.

ਰੇ ਮਨ ਗਹਿਲੇ ਬਾਵਲੇ ਮਾਣਹਿ ਕਿਆ ਰਲੀਆਂ ॥੫੫॥
re man gahile baavale maaneh kiaa raleean |55|

O my thoughtless and insane mind, why are you indulging in pleasures? ||55||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕੋਠੇ ਧੁਕਣੁ ਕੇਤੜਾ ਪਿਰ ਨੀਦੜੀ ਨਿਵਾਰਿ ॥
fareedaa kotthe dhukan ketarraa pir needarree nivaar |

Fareed, how long can you run on the rooftop? You are asleep to your Husband Lord - give it up!

ਜੋ ਦਿਹ ਲਧੇ ਗਾਣਵੇ ਗਏ ਵਿਲਾੜਿ ਵਿਲਾੜਿ ॥੫੬॥
jo dih ladhe gaanave ge vilaarr vilaarr |56|

The days which were allotted to you are numbered, and they are passing, passing away. ||56||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕੋਠੇ ਮੰਡਪ ਮਾੜੀਆ ਏਤੁ ਨ ਲਾਏ ਚਿਤੁ ॥
fareedaa kotthe manddap maarreea et na laae chit |

Fareed, houses, mansions and balconies - do not attach your consciousness to these.

ਮਿਟੀ ਪਈ ਅਤੋਲਵੀ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਹੋਸੀ ਮਿਤੁ ॥੫੭॥
mittee pee atolavee koe na hosee mit |57|

When these collapse into heaps of dust, none of them will be your friend. ||57||

ਫਰੀਦਾ ਮੰਡਪ ਮਾਲੁ ਨ ਲਾਇ ਮਰਗ ਸਤਾਣੀ ਚਿਤਿ ਧਰਿ ॥
fareedaa manddap maal na laae marag sataanee chit dhar |

Fareed, do not focus on mansions and wealth; center your consciousness on death, your powerful enemy.
