ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਦਾਤਾ ਅਗਮ ਅਥਾਹਾ ॥ ਓਸੁ ਤਿਲੁ ਨ ਤਮਾਇ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹਾ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਅਪੜਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕੋਈ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Har jī▫o ḏāṯā agam athāhā.  Os ṯil na ṯamā▫e veparvāhā.  Ŧis no apaṛ na sakai ko▫ī āpe mel milā▫iḏā. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. The soul yearns to meet the Almighty, but: (Jeeo) the revered (daataa = giver) benevolent (har-i) Almighty is (agam) beyond reach/comprehension and (athaaha = bottomless) unfathomable. (Os = that) IT is (veyparvaaha) care-free with not even (til-u = sesame seed) a bit of (tamaaey = greed) expectation for giving benedictions.

(Koi na) no one (sakai) can (aparr-i) reach (tis no = that) IT; IT (aapey) IT-self (milaaidaa = causes to meet) facilitates (meyl-i) union. 1.

 

ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੈ ਸੁ ਨਿਹਚਉ ਹੋਈ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਾਮ ਦਾਨੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੋ ਪਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਮੇਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥

Jo kicẖẖ karai so nihcẖa▫o ho▫ī.  Ŧis bin ḏāṯā avar na ko▫ī.  Jis no nām ḏān kare so pā▫e gur sabḏī melā▫iḏā. ||2||

 

(Jo kichh) whatever IT (karey = does) wants to be done (su) that (hoee) happens (nihchau) for sure. There is (no koee = not any) no (avar-u) other (daata = giver) benefactor (bin-u) except (tis-u) IT.

One (no) to (jis) whom IT (karey = gives, daan-u = alms) grants the benediction of awareness of (naam) Divine virtues and commands, (so) that person (paaey) gets it (sabdi = with word) with guidance of (gur) the guru – lives by Naam – and IT (meylaaida) unites with IT-self. 2.

 

ਚਉਦਹ ਭਵਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਹਟਨਾਲੇ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦਿਖਾਏ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਲੇ ॥ ਨਾਵੈ ਕਾ ਵਾਪਾਰੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਕੋ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥

Cẖa▫oḏah bẖavaṇ ṯere hatnāle.  Saṯgur ḏikẖā▫e anṯar nāle.  Nāvai kā vāpārī hovai gur sabḏī ko pā▫iḏā. ||3||

 

The world of (chaudah) fourteen (bhavan) regions – the whole world is (teyrey) Your (hattnaaley = contiguous shops) market place – You have stocked Divine virtues and commands in the mind. (Satigur-i) the true guru (dikhaaey) shows these (naaley) with one (anatr-i) within.

(Ko) some rare person (hovai) is (vaapaari) a dealer (ka) of, i.e. leads life by (naavai) Naam, (sabdi = by the word) guided by (gur) the guru; s/he (paaida) finds the Almighty. 3.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਸੇਵਿਐ ਸਹਜ ਅਨੰਦਾ ॥ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਆਇ ਵੁਠਾ ਗੋਵਿੰਦਾ ॥ ਸਹਜੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰੇ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਆਪੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥

Saṯgur sevi▫ai sahj ananḏā.  Hirḏai ā▫e vuṯẖā govinḏā.  Sėhje bẖagaṯ kare ḏin rāṯī āpe bẖagaṯ karā▫iḏā. ||4||

 

There is (ananda) joy with (sahj) poise – as against boisterous joy – (seviaa = serving) in obedience (satigur-i) of the true guru. With it, the Almighty (govinda) Master of the world (aaey) comes and (vutthaa) abides in (hirdai) in the mind.

Then one (karey = practices, bhagat-i = devotion) lives (sahjey) naturally by Naam (din-u) day and (raati) night; the Almighty (aapey) IT-self (karaaida = causes to do) motivates to (bhagat-i = devotion) obedience. 4.

 

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਤੇ ਵਿਛੁੜੇ ਤਿਨੀ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥ ਮਥੇ ਕਾਲੇ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਦੁਖ ਹੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥

Saṯgur ṯe vicẖẖuṛe ṯinī ḏukẖ pā▫i▫ā.  An▫ḏin mārī▫ah ḏukẖ sabā▫i▫ā.  Mathe kāle mahal na pāvahi ḏukẖ hī vicẖ ḏukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||5||

 

Those who (vichhurrey = separated) turn away (tey) from (satigur-u) the true guru, (tini) they (paaiaa = experience, dukh-u = pain) suffer continued separation from the Almighty. They (andin-u = everyday) ever (maareeah-i = kill) fall prey to vices suffering (sabaaiaa) all types of (dukh-u) distress.

And in the hereafter, are found (kaaley = black, mathey = foreheads) to have committed wrongdoings; they do not (paavah-i) obtain access to (mahal-u = palace) the Almighty and ever remain (vich-i) in (dukh hi) pain, (paaida) get more (dukh-u) suffering – remain separated from God. 5.

 

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਸੇ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ॥ ਸਹਜ ਭਾਇ ਸਚੀ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ॥ ਸਚੋ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਸਚੈ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੬॥

Saṯgur sevėh se vadbẖāgī.  Sahj bẖā▫e sacẖī liv lāgī.  Sacẖo sacẖ kamāvėh saḏ hī sacẖai mel milā▫iḏā. ||6||

 

On the other hand, those who (seyvah-i = serve) obey (satigur-u) true guru – to be in obedience of the Almighty – (sey) they are (vaddbhaagi) fortunate – as they get access to the Almighty. With (sahj) steadfast (bhaaey) love for the Master, their (liv) attention (laagi) remains fixed (sachi = true) on practice of Naam or virtues and commands of the Almighty.

They (sad hi) forever (kamaavah-i) practice (sacho sach-u = only truth) Naam which (milaaida = causes to meet) facilitates (meyl-i) union (sachai) with the Eternal. 6.

 

ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਸਚਾ ਦੇਇ ਸੁ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਚੁ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਏ ॥ ਸਚੁ ਸਚੈ ਕਾ ਆਪੇ ਦਾਤਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਵੈ ਸੋ ਸਚੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੭॥

Jis no sacẖā ḏe▫e so pā▫e.  Anṯar sācẖ bẖaram cẖukā▫e.  Sacẖ sacẖai kā āpe ḏāṯā jis ḏevai so sacẖ pā▫iḏā. ||7||

 

Only (su) that person (paaey) obtains – awareness of Naam – (no) to (jis) whom (sachaa) the Eternal (dey-i) gives – by leading to the guru. S/he keeps (saach-u) Naam (antar-i) in mind which (chukaaey) ends any (bharam-u) doubt about God’s presence with us.

(Sach-u) the Eternal (aapey) IT-self alone is (daataa) the giver (ka) of awareness of (sachai = truth) Naam; (so) that person (paaida) finds (sach-u) the Eternal whom IT (deyvai = gives) imparts awareness of Naam. 7.

ਆਪੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਸੋਈ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸੇ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥

Āpe karṯā sabẖnā kā so▫ī.  Jis no āp bujẖā▫e būjẖai ko▫ī.  Āpe bakẖse ḏe vadi▫ā▫ī āpe mel milā▫iḏā. ||8||

 

(Soee = that) the One (aapey = self) Almighty is (karta) the Creator (ka) of (sabhna) all. (Koee) some rare person (jis no) to whom (aap-i = self) the Almighty (bujhaaey) gives the understanding (boojhai = understands) knows this, and acknowledges.

(Aapey = self) the Almighty (bakhsey) bestows grace, (dey) imparts (vaddiaai) virtues and (aapey) IT-self (milaaida = causes to meet) facilitates (meyl-i) union with IT-self. 8.

 

ਹਉਮੈ ਕਰਦਿਆ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥ ਆਗੈ ਮੋਹੁ ਨ ਚੂਕੈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਅਗੈ ਜਮਕਾਲੁ ਲੇਖਾ ਲੇਵੈ ਜਿਉ ਤਿਲ ਘਾਣੀ ਪੀੜਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

Ha▫umai karḏi▫ā janam gavā▫i▫ā.  Āgai moh na cẖūkai mā▫i▫ā.  Agai jamkāl lekẖā levai ji▫o ṯil gẖāṇī pīṛā▫iḏā. ||9||

 

The human being (gavaaiaa = loses) wastes (janam-u) human birth (kardiaa = doing) acting by (haumai = ego) self-will – ignoring the guru’s teachings to practice Naam. S/he has (moh-u) (maaiaa) happenings of the world-play (aagai) in front of him/her to entice, and attachment to them does not (chookai) end.

(Agai = ahead) in the hereafter, (jamkaal-u) the agent of Divine justice (leyvai = takes) asks for (leykha) account of deeds; and punishes like an ox is (peerraaida) caused to grind (til) the sesame (ghaani) in the oil mill, being harnessed to repeatedly go round it in a circle, i.e. by being put in cycles of births and deaths. 9.

 

ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਹੋਈ ॥ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਸੇਵੇ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਜਮਕਾਲੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਨੇੜਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਮਹਲਿ ਸਚੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥

Pūrai bẖāg gur sevā ho▫ī.  Naḏar kare ṯā seve ko▫ī.  Jamkāl ṯis neṛ na āvai mahal sacẖai sukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||10||

 

It is (poorai = perfect, bhaag-i = with fortune) with good fortune that one finds the guru and (seyva = service, hoee = is done) carries out the guru’s instructions. It is when the Almighty (karey) bestows (nadar-i) grace, that (koee) someone (seyvey = serves) obeys the guru.

(Kamkaal-u) the agent of Divine justice – who prevents erring souls from getting to the Creator – does not (aavai) come (neyrr-i) near (tis-u) that person, and s/he (paaidaa) gets (sukh-u) the comfort – of obviating rebirth and – (mahal-i = in the palace) attaining union with the Almighty. 10.

 

ਤਿਨ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜੋ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਏ ॥ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਲਾਏ ॥ ਤੇਰੈ ਹਥਿ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਸੋ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥

Ŧin sukẖ pā▫i▫ā jo ṯuḏẖ bẖā▫e.  Pūrai bẖāg gur sevā lā▫e. Ŧerai hath hai sabẖ vadi▫ā▫ī jis ḏevėh so pā▫iḏā. ||11||

 

And that (sukh-u) peace/comfort is (paaiaa) experienced by (tin) those (jo) who (bhaaey) are liked by, i.e. obey, (tudh-u) You, o Almighty. It is their (poorai) good (bhaag-i) fortune that You (laaey) engage them (seyva = service) in obedience to the guru.

(Sabh) all (vaddiaaee) glory is in (teyrai) Your (hath-i) hands; one (jis-u) whom You (deyvah-i) give, (so) that person (paaida) receives glory. 11.

 

ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਰਗਾਸੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ॥ ਗਿਆਨ ਰਤਨੁ ਸਦਾ ਘਟਿ ਚਾਨਣੁ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਅੰਧੇਰੁ ਗਵਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥

Anḏar pargās gurū ṯe pā▫e.  Nām paḏārath man vasā▫e.  Gi▫ān raṯan saḏā gẖat cẖānaṇ agi▫ān anḏẖer gavā▫iḏā. ||12||

 

One who (paaey) receives (pargaas-u) enlightenment (anadr-i) within, (tey) from the guru. S/he (vasaaey = causes to dwell) keeps (padaarath-u = substance) the valuable Naam, i.e. Divine virtues and commands (mann-i) in the mind.

(Giaan) awareness of (ratan-u = jewel) Naam (sadaa) ever gives (chaanan-u) enlightenment (ghatt-i) to the mind; and (gavaaida = loses) dispels (andheyr-u) the darkness of (agiaan) ignorance, i.e. one is no longer oblivious of Naam. 12.

 

ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਅੰਧੇ ਦੂਜੈ ਲਾਗੇ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਡੁਬਿ ਮੂਏ ਅਭਾਗੇ ॥ ਚਲਦਿਆ ਘਰੁ ਦਰੁ ਨਦਰਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਜਮ ਦਰਿ ਬਾਧਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੩॥

Agi▫ānī anḏẖe ḏūjai lāge.  Bin pāṇī dub mū▫e abẖāge. Cẖalḏi▫ā gẖar ḏar naḏar na āvai jam ḏar bāḏẖā ḏukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||13||

 

Those (agiaani) ignorant of Naam are (andhey = blind) blinded by attachments to the world-play and (laagey) engage (doojai = other) in duality. Those (abhaagey) unfortunate persons (ddub-i) drown and (mooey) die (bin-u) without (paani) water, i.e. are shamed with ignominy of being refused union with the Creator.

And (chaldiaa) departing from the world, such persons (na aavai = does not come, nadar-i = in sight) do not find (ghar-u = home, dar-u = gate) the abode of the Almighty, (badhaa) are bound (dar-i = at the place of) by (jam) the agent of Divine justice and (paaidaa) suffer (dukh-u) the pain of separation from the Creator, – and remaining in cycles of births and deaths. 13.

 

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵੇ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਧਿਆਨੀ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਦਰਿ ਸਚੈ ਸੋਭਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥

Bin saṯgur seve mukaṯ na ho▫ī.  Gi▫ānī ḏẖi▫ānī pūcẖẖahu ko▫ī.  Saṯgur seve ṯis milai vadi▫ā▫ī ḏar sacẖai sobẖā pā▫iḏā. ||14||

 

(Mukat-i) freedom from vices, and hence rebirth, is not (hoee = happen) attained (bin-u) without (seyvey = serving) obeying (satigur) the true guru. (Poochhahu) ask (koee) any (giaani) one aware of this or who (dhiaani) contemplates.

(Tis-u) that person who (sevey) obeys (satigur-u) the true guru, (milai) receives awareness of (vaddiaai) Divine virtues and commands, practices them and (paaida) receives (sobha) glory (dar-i) in the court of (sachai) the Eternal – is approved for union with the Almighty. 14.

 

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਨੋ ਸੇਵੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥ ਮਮਤਾ ਕਾਟਿ ਸਚਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਏ ॥ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਵਣਜਹਿ ਵਾਪਾਰੀ ਨਾਮੋ ਲਾਹਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥

Saṯgur no seve ṯis āp milā▫e.  Mamṯā kāt sacẖ liv lā▫e.  Saḏā sacẖ vaṇjahi vāpārī nāmo lāhā pā▫iḏā. ||15||

 

One who (seyvey = serves) is obedient (no) to (satigur) the true guru, the Almighty (milaaey) unites him/her (aap-i) with IT-self. That person (kaatt-i = cuts) breaks (mamta) attachment to the world-play and (laaey) fixes (liv) attention (sach-i = on truth) to practice of Divine virtues and commands.

That (vaapaari) business dealer (vanjah-i = does business) deals in, i.e. that seeker conducts the self, by (sach-u = truth) Naam and (paaidaa) obtains (laahaa) the profit from (naamo) practice of Naam – finds the Almighty. 15.

 

ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ਕਰਤਾ ॥ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਰੈ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਮੁਕਤਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੫॥੧੯॥

Āpe kare karā▫e karṯā.  Sabaḏ marai so▫ī jan mukṯā.  Nānak nām vasai man anṯar nāmo nām ḏẖi▫ā▫iḏā. ||16||5||19||

 

(Karta) the Creator (aapey) IT-self (karey) creates the creatures and (karaaey = cause to act) engages them in their roles. One who (marai = dies) kills ego (sabad-i = by the word) in obedience to the Creator, (soee) that (jan-u) person (mukta) is emancipated – from vices in life and from rebirth on death; s/he unites with God.

Naam (vasai) abides (antar-i) in his/her (man) mind and s/he (dhiaada) pays attention (maam-u) to Naam (naamo = of Naam) God, i.e. obeys Namm and does not engage in rituals or worship of gods/goddesses, says third Nanak. 16. 5. 19.

ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਜੋ ਤੁਧੁ ਕਰਣਾ ਸੋ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਕੋ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਆਇਆ ॥ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨੇ ਸੋ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo.  (Jo) what (tudh-u) You (karna) decide to do, (so) that You (kar-i) do and (paaiaa) put in place, i.e. the Creator has provided for everything. But (ko) some (virla) rare person (aaiaa = comes, vich-i = in) is happy Your (bhaanai) will.

One who (manney) accepts (bhaana) Divine will/obeys Divine commands, (so) that person – does not transgress and – (paaey) experiences (sukh-u) comfort – of union with You; s/he (paaida) finds (sukh-u) comfort in (bhaanai) living by Divine will. 1.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਤੇਰਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਭਾਵੈ ॥ ਸਹਜੇ ਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ॥ ਭਾਣੇ ਨੋ ਲੋਚੈ ਬਹੁਤੇਰੀ ਆਪਣਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਆਪਿ ਮਨਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥

(Gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru (bhaavai = likes) is happy with (teyra) Your (bhaana) will. S/he (sahjey hi) steadfastly (kamaavai) acts by (sach-u = truth) Divine virtues and commands and experiences (sukh-u) peace.
(Bahuteyri) plenty of humankind (lochai) longs (no) for living by (bhaanai) Divine will – but it is hard, and only that person accepts whom – You (aap-i) Yourself (manaaida) enable to accept (aapna = own) Your (bhaana) will. 2.

 

ਤੇਰਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨੇ ਸੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਤੁਧੁ  ਆਏ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਭਾਣਾ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਤੁਝਹਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥

Ŧerā bẖāṇā manne so milai ṯuḏẖ ā▫e.  Jis bẖāṇā bẖāvai so ṯujẖėh samā▫e.

 

One who (manney) accepts (teyra) Your (bhaana = will) commands (su) that person (aaey) comes and (milai) meets, i.e. is accepted for union with, You. One (jis-u) who (bhaavai = likes) is happy with (bhaana) Your will (samaaey) merges (tujhah-i) in You.

ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਡੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਭਾਣਾ ਕਿਸਹਿ ਕਰਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥

Bẖāṇe vicẖ vadī vadi▫ā▫ī bẖāṇā kisėh karā▫iḏā. ||3||

 

There is (vaddi) great (vaddiaaee = virtue) merit in being happy (vich-i) in Your (bhaaney) will; but You (karaaidaa) cause (kisah-i) some rare person to obey Your (bhaana) will – and accept him/her for union with You. 3.

 

ਜਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਤੁਧੁ ਆਪਣੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਸਭ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਈ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਭਾਣਾ ਦੇਹਿ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥

(Ja) when it (bhaavai) is pleases (tis-u = that) the Almighty (ta) then IT (milaaey) causes to meet the guru. And (gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru (paaey) obtains (padaarath-u = substance) the gift of awareness of Naam or Divine virtues and commands.

O Almighty, (tudh-u) You (upaaee) created (sabh) all (sristt-i) universes to be subject to (aapnai = own) Your (bhaanai = will) commands; one (jis no) whom You (deyh-i = give) impart awareness of Your (bhaana) will/commands, (tis-u = that) s/he (bhaaida = likes) obeys them. 4.

 

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਅੰਧੁ ਕਰੇ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ॥ ਭਾਣਾ ਨ ਮੰਨੇ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ॥ ਭਰਮੇ ਭੂਲਾ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਏ ਘਰੁ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਕਬਹੂ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥ Manmukẖ anḏẖ kare cẖaṯurā▫ī.  Bẖāṇā na manne bahuṯ ḏukẖ pā▫ī.  Bẖarme bẖūlā āvai jā▫e gẖar mahal na kabhū pā▫iḏā. ||5||

 

(Manmukh-u) a self-willed person – does not follow the guru –, is (andh-u = blind) oblivious of Divine commands and (karey = does) acts in (chaturaai) cleverness. S/he does not (manney) obey (bhaana) Divine commands and (paai) suffers (bahut-u) great (dukh-u) distress – remains separated from the Creator.

S/he (bhoola) strays (bharmey) in delusion – commits vices, hence – can (na kabahoo) never (paaida) find (ghar-u = home, mahal-u = palace) the Almighty, i.e. cannot unite with the Creator and (aavai = comes, jaaey = goes) remains in cycles of births and deaths. 5.

 

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲੇ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਧੁਰਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਈ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵੇ ਤਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਾਏ ਨਾਮੇ ਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੬॥

Saṯgur mele ḏe vadi▫ā▫ī.  Saṯgur kī sevā ḏẖur furmā▫ī.  Saṯgur seve ṯā nām pā▫e nāme hī sukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||6||

 

The Almighty (meyley) leads to (satigur-u) the true guru, who (dey = gives) imparts awareness (vaddiaaee = greatness) Divine virtues. (Seyva = service) obedience (ki) of (satigur) the true guru is (furmaaee) ordained (dhur-i) by the source/Creator.

When one (seyvey = serves) follows the true guru, (ta) then s/he (paaey) obtains awareness of Naam; one (paaey) attains (sukh-u) peace (naamey hi) only by practice of Naam, i.e. emulating Divine virtues and obeying Divine commands – and nothing else needs to be done. 6.

 

ਸਭ ਨਾਵਹੁ ਉਪਜੈ ਨਾਵਹੁ ਛੀਜੈ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਭੀਜੈ ॥ ਰਸਨਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ਰਸਿ ਭੀਜੈ ਰਸ ਹੀ ਤੇ ਰਸੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੭॥

Sabẖ nāvhu upjai nāvhu cẖẖījai.  Gur kirpā ṯe man ṯan bẖījai.  Rasnā nām ḏẖi▫ā▫e ras bẖījai ras hī ṯe ras pā▫iḏā. ||7||

 

(Sabh) everything/everyone (upjai) is created and (chheejai) destroyed (naavah-u) by Naam or Divine commands. (Man-u) the mind and (tan-u) body are (bheejai = rinsed) imbued with love of the Almighty (tey) with (kirpa = kindness) guidance of the guru.

One whose (rasna) tongue (dhiaaey) utters Naam, (bheejai = rinses) enjoys (ras-i = elixir) the taste/experience; s/he (paaida) obtains (ras-u) joy (tey) with (ras hi) only with that elixir/experience. 7.

 

ਮਹਲੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਮਹਲੁ ਕੋ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਚਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਸਚੁ ਦੇਇ ਸੋਈ ਸਚੁ ਪਾਏ ਸਚੇ ਸਚਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥

Mahlai anḏar mahal ko pā▫e.  Gur kai sabaḏ sacẖ cẖiṯ lā▫e. Jis no sacẖ ḏe▫e so▫ī sacẖ pā▫e sacẖe sacẖ milā▫iḏā. ||8||

 

(Ko) some rare person (paaey) finds (mahl-u = palace) abode of the Almighty (andar-i) in (mahalai = palace) the body/mind. (Sabad-i = with word) with guidance of (gur) the guru, s/he (laaey) fixes (chit-u) the mind (sach-i) on the Eternal – Naam or Divine virtues and commands.

One (jis no) to whom the guru (dey-i = gives) imparts awareness of (sach-u = truth) Naam, (soi) only that person (paaey) finds (sach-u) the Eternal; (sachey = true) one who practices Naam (milaaida) unites (sach-i) with the Eternal. 8.

 

ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਸਭੁ ਰੋਗੁ ਕਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਹੈ ਕੁਸਟੀ ਨਰਕੇ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

Nām visār man ṯan ḏukẖ pā▫i▫ā.  Mā▫i▫ā moh sabẖ rog kamā▫i▫ā.  Bin nāvai man ṯan hai kustī narke vāsā pā▫iḏā. ||9||

 

(Visaar-i) by forgetting Naam, one’s (man-i = mind, tan-i = body) being (paaiaa) experiences (dukh-u) pain – lack of peace. S/he has (moh-u) attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play – of relatives, wealth, status and so on – which (kamaaiaa = earns) results (sabh-u = all) only in (rog-u = disease) ego – of acting by self-will.

(Man-u = min) mind and (tan-u = body) deeds are (kustti = leper) afflicted with vices, and one (paaidaa) gets (vaasaa = stay) to be in (narkey = hell) cycles of births and deaths. 9.

 

ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਤਿਨ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਦੇਹਾ ॥ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਹੰਸਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਨੇਹਾ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਲਾਹਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥

Nām raṯe ṯin nirmal ḏehā.  Nirmal hansā saḏā sukẖ nehā. Nām salāhi saḏā sukẖ pā▫i▫ā nij gẖar vāsā pā▫iḏā. ||10||

 

On the other hand, those (ratey) imbued (naam-i) with Naam or Divine virtues and commands have (nirmal) clean (deyha) bodies – unlike the lepers; their thoughts and actions are free of vices. With (hansa) the soul (nirmal = unstained) free of vices and with (neyha) love for the Almighty, they (sadaa) ever experience (sukh-u) peace.

They (salaah-i) praise and practice Naam, and (sadaa) ever (paaiaa) experience (sukh-u) peace, (paaida) attaining (vaasaa) stay in (nij) own (ghar-i) home, i.e. the mind becomes un-wavering/steady with focus on the Almighty. 10.

 

ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਵਣਜੁ ਕਰੇ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ॥ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸਭੁ ਤੋਟਾ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥ ਨਾਗੋ ਆਇਆ ਨਾਗੋ ਜਾਸੀ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥

Sabẖ ko vaṇaj kare vāpārā.  viṇ nāvai sabẖ ṯotā sansārā.  Nāgo ā▫i▫ā nāgo jāsī viṇ nāvai ḏukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||11||

 

(Sabh ko) everyone (karey) does (vanaj-u, vaapaara) business dealings – for profit, i.e. acts to obtain union with the Almighty, but (sansaara) in the world – human birth -, but there is (sabh-u = all) only (totta) loss (bin-u) without (naavai) Naam, i.e. one not only fails to unite with the Almighty but also loses virtues brought from past birth.

The creature (aaiaa = comes) is born (naago) naked and (jaasi) shall go/depart (naago) naked, – this applies to everyone – one neither brings material possessions nor does the soul take any with it; one who (bin-u = without) does not live (naavai) by Naam (paaida) gets (dukh-u) suffering – of cycles of births and deaths. 11.

 

ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਇ ਸੋ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥

Jis no nām ḏe▫e so pā▫e.  Gur kai sabaḏ har man vasā▫e.  Gur kirpā ṯe nām vasi▫ā gẖat anṯar nāmo nām ḏẖi▫ā▫iḏā. ||12||

 

Only (so) that person (paaey) gets awareness of Naam (jis no) whom the Almighty (dey-i) gives. S/he (vaasaaey = causes to abide) keeps (har-i) the Almighty (mann-i) in mind – and practices Naam – (sabad-i = with word) with guidance (kai) of (gur) the guru.

(Tey) with (kirpa = grace) guidance of the guru, Naam (vasiaa) abides (antar-i) in (ghatt) mind and one (dhiaaida) pays attention (naamo naam) only to Naam, i.e. invokes and obeys the Almighty alone. 12.

 

ਨਾਵੈ ਨੋ ਲੋਚੈ ਜੇਤੀ ਸਭ ਆਈ ॥ ਨਾਉ ਤਿਨਾ ਮਿਲੈ ਧੁਰਿ ਪੁਰਬਿ ਕਮਾਈ ॥ ਜਿਨੀ ਨਾਉ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੇ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੩॥

Nāvai no locẖai jeṯī sabẖ ā▫ī.  Nā▫o ṯinā milai ḏẖur purab kamā▫ī.  Jinī nā▫o pā▫i▫ā se vadbẖāgī gur kai sabaḏ milā▫iḏā. ||13||

 

(Jeyti = as much) all humans that (aaee = came) have been created, (lochia) yearns (no) for awareness of (naavai) Naam – the method to attain union with God. Awareness of (naau) Naam (milai) is obtained (dhur-i = from the source) from the Almighty by (tinaa) those who have (kamaaee) practiced it (purab-i) in the past.

(Sey) those (jini) who (paaiaa) obtain awareness of (naau) Naam, are (vaddbhaagi) fortunate; they learn it (sabad-i = with word) with guidance (kai) of the guru and the Almighty (milaaida) unites them with IT-self. 13.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਕੋਟੁ ਅਤਿ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਬਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਕਰੇ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ॥ ਸਚਾ ਨਿਆਉ ਸਚੋ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥

Kā▫i▫ā kot aṯ apārā.  Ŧis vicẖ bahi parabẖ kare vīcẖārā.  Sacẖā ni▫ā▫o sacẖo vāpārā nihcẖal vāsā pā▫iḏā. ||14||

 

(Kaaiaa) the human body has (at-i) a very strong (kott-u) fort in it where (apaara) the Infinite dwells. (Prabh-u) the Almighty (bah-i) sits (vich-i) in (tis-u) that and (karey = does, vechaara = thinking) watches and considers performance of the creature.

The Master’s (niaau) justice is (sacha) true; one who has (sacho) truthful (vaapaara = business dealing) conduct in life (paaida) obtains (nihchal-u = unshakable) permanent (vaasaa) residence, i.e. merges in the Creator, and is not reborn. 14.

 

ਅੰਤਰ ਘਰ ਬੰਕੇ ਥਾਨੁ ਸੁਹਾਇਆ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਿਰਲੈ ਕਿਨੈ ਥਾਨੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਇਤੁ ਸਾਥਿ ਨਿਬਹੈ ਸਾਲਾਹੇ ਸਚੇ ਹਰਿ ਸਚਾ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥

Anṯar gẖar banke thān suhā▫i▫ā.  Gurmukẖ virlai kinai thān pā▫i▫ā.  Iṯ sāth nibhai sālāhe sacẖe har sacẖā man vasā▫iḏā. ||15||

 

(Antar-i) in (ghar) the house/mind is (thaan-u = place) the abode of (bankey) the handsome Master (suhaaiaa = looking good) adorning it. (Kinai) some (virlai) rare person (gurmukh-i) who follows the guru’s teachings (paaiaa) finds (thaan-u = place) the Almighty within.

S/he (nibahai) maintains (it-u) this (saath-i) company – presence of the Almighty in the mind – by (saalaahey) praising (sachey) the Eternal and (vasaaida = causes to swell) keeping (sachaa) the Eternal (mann-i) in mind. 15.

 

ਮੇਰੈ ਕਰਤੈ ਇਕ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ॥ ਇਸੁ ਦੇਹੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਸਭ ਵਥੁ ਪਾਈ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਣਜਹਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੬॥੨੦॥

Merai karṯai ik baṇaṯ baṇā▫ī.  Is ḏehī vicẖ sabẖ vath pā▫ī.  Nānak nām vaṇjahi rang rāṯe gurmukẖ ko nām pā▫iḏā. ||16||6||20||

 

(Kartai) the Creator (meyrai = my) of all has (banaaee) made/created (ik = one) a (banat = arrangement) phenomenon. IT has (paaee) put (sabh) every (vath-u) thing (vich-i) in (is) this (deyhi) body, i.e. Naam or Divine virtues and commands are present within.

Those (raatey) imbued (rang-i) with love of the Almighty (vanjah-i = deal in) conduct themselves by Naam; but (ko) some rare person (gurmukh-i) who follows the guru, (paaida) obtains awareness of Naam, says third Nanak. 16. 6. 20.
