Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

ਅੰਦਰਹੁ ਅੰਨਾ ਬਾਹਰਹੁ ਅੰਨਾ ਕੂੜੀ ਕੂੜੀ ਗਾਵੈ ॥

Andharahu Annaa Baaharahu Annaa Koorree Koorree Gaavai ||

Blind inwardly, and blind outwardly, he sings falsely, falsely.

ਦੇਹੀ ਧੋਵੈ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਬਣਾਏ ਮਾਇਆ ਨੋ ਬਹੁ ਧਾਵੈ ॥

Dhaehee Dhhovai Chakr Banaaeae Maaeiaa No Bahu Dhhaavai ||

He washes his body, and draws ritual marks on it, and totally runs after wealth.

ਅੰਦਰਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਵੈ ॥

But the filth of his egotism is not removed from within, and over and over again, he comes and goes in reincarnation.

Baisano Naam Karam Ho Jugathaa Thuh Kuttae Kiaa Fal Paavai ||

He is called a Vaishnav, but he is bound to deeds of egotism; by threshing only husks, what rewards can be obtained?

Hansaa Vich Baithaa Bag N Banee Nith Baithaa Mashhee No Thaar Laavai ||

Sitting among the swans, the crane does not become one of them; sitting there, he keeps staring at the fish.

ਜਾ ਹੰਸ ਸਭਾ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖਨਿ ਤਾ ਬਗਾ ਨਾਲਿ ਜੋੜੁ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥

Jaa Hans Sabhaa Veechaar Kar Dhaekhan Thaa Bagaa Naal Jorr Kadhae N Aavai ||

And when the gathering of swans looks and sees, they realize that they can never form an alliance with the crane.

ਹੰਸਾ ਹੀਰਾ ਮੋਤੀ ਚੁਗਣਾ ਬਗੁ ਡਡਾ ਭਾਲਣ ਜਾਵੈ ॥

Hansaa Heeraa Mothee Chuganaa Bag Ddaddaa Bhaalan Jaavai ||

The swans peck at the diamonds and pearls, while the crane chases after frogs.

ਉਡਰਿਆ ਵੇਚਾਰਾ ਬਗੁਲਾ ਮਤੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੰਞੁ ਲਖਾਵੈ ॥

Ouddariaa Vaechaaraa Bagulaa Math Hovai Mannj Lakhaavai ||

The poor crane flies away, so that his secret will not be exposed.

ਜਿਤੁ ਕੋ ਲਾਇਆ ਤਿਤ ਹੀ ਲਾਗਾ ਕਿਸੁ ਦੋਸੁ ਦਿਚੈ ਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਏਵੈ ਭਾਵੈ ॥

Jith Ko Laaeiaa Thith Hee Laagaa Kis Dhos Dhichai Jaa Har Eaevai Bhaavai ||

Whatever the Lord attaches one to, to that he is attached. Who is to blame, when the Lord wills it so?

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਰਵਰੁ ਰਤਨੀ ਭਰਪੂਰੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤਿ ਸੋ ਪਾਵੈ ॥

Sathigur Saravar Rathanee Bharapoorae Jis Praapath So Paavai ||

The True Guru is the lake, overflowing with pearls. One who meets the True Guru obtains them.

Sikh Hans Saravar Eikathae Hoeae Sathigur Kai Hukamaavai ||

The Sikh-swans gather at the lake, according to the Will of the True Guru.

ਰਤਨ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਮਾਣਕ ਸਰਵਰਿ ਭਰਪੂਰੇ ਖਾਇ ਖਰਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥

Rathan Padhaarathh Maanak Saravar Bharapoorae Khaae Kharach Rehae Thott N Aavai ||

The lake is filled with the wealth of these jewels and pearls; they are spent and consumed, but they never run out.

ਸਰਵਰ ਹੰਸੁ ਦੂਰਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ਕਰਤੇ ਏਵੈ ਭਾਵੈ ॥

Saravar Hans Dhoor N Hoee Karathae Eaevai Bhaavai ||

The swan never leaves the lake; such is the Pleasure of the Creator's Will.

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸ ਦੈ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਹਿ ਆਵੈ ॥

O servant Nanak, one who has such pre-ordained destiny inscribed upon his forehead - that Sikh comes to the Guru.
