Fifth Mehl:
ਕਿਆ ਗਾਲਾਇਓ ਭੂਛ ਪਰ ਵੇਲਿ ਨ ਜੋਹੇ ਕੰਤ ਤੂ ॥
ki-aa galaa-i-o bhoochh par vayl na johay kant too.
What should I say to you, you fool? Don't look at the vines of others - be a true husband.
ਨਾਨਕ ਫੁਲਾ ਸੰਦੀ ਵਾੜਿ ਖਿੜਿਆ ਹਭੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਜਿਉ ॥੩॥
naanak fulaa sandee vaarh khirhi-aa habh sansaar ji-o. ||3||
O Nanak, the entire world is blooming, like a garden of flowers. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Do not go chasing after what belongs to others — stay true to the love you have.
Nanak says: the whole world is blossoming all around you, like a garden full of flowers.
When you stay true, you start to see the world already blooming.
A gentle nudge toward faithfulness and contentment. 'Do not look at others' vines' is the counsel to be true; the closing image is pure delight — creation itself flowering everywhere.
