(Ddakhney) Slok/prologue of the fifth Guru in southern Punjabi language. O Human being, (traagh-i) make efforts (koo) for (agaaha = ahead) the hereafter – obey the Almighty to unite with the IT; do not (pheyr-i) turn your (muhddrra) shoulder (pichhaa) backwards, i.e. forget about the past – whatever had to happen happened, – you went through numerous life forms – because of past deeds.

(Sijh-i) succeed (iheyva) this (vaar) time – make use of the opportunity provided by human birth to unite with the Creator, so that you  (janamarraa) birth (na hovi) does not happen, you are not born (bahurr-i) again, says fifth Nanak. 1.

Prologue by the fifth Guru. (Maidda) my (sajan-u) friend Almighty (chaaeeaa) is loving and is (mit-u) friend (ka) of (habh kahi) everyone.

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਗੁਝੜਾ ਲਧਮੁ ਲਾਲੁ ਮਥੈ ਹੀ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਥਿਆ ॥ ਸੋਈ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਥਾਨੁ ਜਿਥੈ ਪਿਰੀਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਤੂ ਵੁਠਿਆ ॥੩॥

Prologu e by the fifth Guru. I (ladham-u) found (gujhrraa) the hidden (laal-u) jewel when IT (theeaa) became (pargatt) manifest on my (mathai) forehead (hi) itself, i.e. God is within but I did not realize; fortunately the guru enabled to see IT within.

(Soi) that (thaan-u = place) mind is (suhaava = pleasant) blessed (jithai) where (too) You, my (ji) revered (pireeay) beloved Master (vutthiaa = abide) is found – and that person lives by Your Naam or virtues and commands, says fifth Nanak. 3

 

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਜਾ ਤੂ ਮੇਰੈ ਵਲਿ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਕਿਆ  ਮੁਹਛੰਦਾ ॥ ਤੁਧੁ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਮੈਨੋ ਸਉਪਿਆ ਜਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਬੰਦਾ ॥

Paoṛī.  Jā ṯū merai val hai ṯā kiā muhcẖẖanḏā.  Ŧuḏẖ sabẖ kicẖẖ maino saupiā jā ṯerā banḏā.

 

(Paurri) stanza by the fifth guru. O Almighty, (ja) when (too) You are on (meyrai) my (val-i) side, (ta) then there is (kiaa = what?) no (muhchhanda) dependence – on anyone else, i.e. one who relies on God, needs no other support.

(Ja = when) since I became (teyra) Your (bandaa) servant, i.e. once I submitted myself to Your care and obedience, (tudh-u) You (saupiaa) have given (sabh-u kichh-u) everything (maino) to me – there is nothing left to be desired.

 

ਲਖਮੀ ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਖਾਇ ਖਰਚਿ ਰਹੰਦਾ ॥ ਲਖ ਚਉਰਾਸੀਹ ਮੇਦਨੀ ਸਭ ਸੇਵ ਕਰੰਦਾ ॥

Lakẖmī ṯot na āvī kẖāe kẖaracẖ rahanḏā.  Lakẖ cẖaorāsīh meḏnī sabẖ sev karanḏā.

 

I (rahanda) keep (khaaey = eat) using and (kharach-i) spending/sharing the wealth of awareness of Naam, but no (tott-i) shortage (aavaee = comes) occurs.

(Sabh) all creatures in (chauraasih) the eighty four (lakh = hundred thousand) lakh – 8.4 million – (meydni = creation) life forms (karanda = do, seyv = service) serve me – are at my call.

 

ਏਹ ਵੈਰੀ ਮਿਤ੍ਰ ਸਭਿ ਕੀਤਿਆ ਨਹ ਮੰਗਹਿ ਮੰਦਾ ॥ ਲੇਖਾ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਪੁਛਈ ਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਬਖਸੰਦਾ ॥

Ėh vairī miṯar sabẖ kīṯiā nah mangėh manḏā.  Lekẖā koe na pucẖẖī jā har bẖakẖsanḏā.

 

You have (keetiaa) made (sabh-i) all (ih) these (vairi) enemies – vices namely lust, anger, greed, attachment to the world-play and vanity – my (mitr) friends and they do not (mangah-i = ask) wish (manda) ill, i.e. do not affect me now.

(Koey na) no one (puchhaee) askes (leykha) the account of deeds (ja) when (har-i) the Almighty (bakhsandaa) gracious.

 

ਅਨੰਦੁ ਭਇਆ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਮਿਲਿ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਵਿੰਦਾ ॥ ਸਭੇ ਕਾਜ ਸਵਾਰਿਐ ਜਾ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵੰਦਾ ॥੭॥

Anand bẖaiā sukẖ pāiā mil gur govinḏā.  Sabẖe kāj savāriai jā ṯuḏẖ bẖāvanḏā. ||7||

 

This state of (aanand) bliss/happiness (bhaiaa) happened (mil-i) on meeting (gur) the great (govinda = master of the world) the Almighty, i.e. on finding Akal Purakh in mind, one commits no faults; then there is no suffering, only bliss.

(Sabey) all (kaaj) purposes (savaariai) are accomplished (ja) when (ja) when it (bhaavanda) pleases (tudh-u) You, o Almighty. 7.

Prologue by the fifth Guru in southern Punjabi language. I (mustaak-i) am eager (koo) to (deykhan) see as to (kijeyha) how is (tau) Your (mukh-u) face, o (dhani) Master.

I (phirda = wandering) was in (kitai = some) a miserable (haal-i) state – of being separated from You, and (ja) when I (dittham-u) saw You, (ta) then (man-u) the mind (dhraapiaa = satisfied) became happy – my search was successful. 1.

Prologue by the fifth Guru. I am (dukheeaa) in distress with (ghaney) host of (darad = pains) maladies; (too) You (jaaney) know (veydan) my pain, o (dhani) Master.

(Bhavey/bhaavey) I may have to (jaana) go, i.e. make efforts, (lakh) a hundred thousand times; I shall (jeevsa = live) be enlivened (ta) then, when I (ddikhando) see (piri) the Beloved. 2.

Prologue by the fifth Guru. (Mai) I (dditthiaa) have seen (karar-i) the bank of (vahandey) flowing (vahan-i) stream (ddhahdi jaaey = falling off) being eroded, i.e. the humans keep falling prey to temptations in the world-play.

(Seyee) only they (rahey) remain (amaan) safe (jinaa) who (bheyttiaa) find (satigur-u) the true guru and follow his teachings to live by Divine virtues and commands – they do not fall prey to temptations. 3.

 

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਤੇਰੀ ਭੁਖ ਹੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਨ ਵਿਆਪੈ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੁਝਿਆ ਸੁ ਚਹੁ ਕੁੰਡੀ ਜਾਪੈ ॥

Paoṛī.  Jis jan ṯerī bẖukẖ hai ṯis ḏukẖ na viāpai.  Jin jan gurmukẖ bujẖiā so cẖahu kundī jāpai.

 

(Paurri) stanza by the fifth Guru. O Almighty, that (jan) person (jis-u) who has (teyri) Your (bhukh) hunger, i.e. one who yearns to find You – does not commit vices; and hence (dukh-u) grief does not (viaapai = happens) come to (tis-u) that person – but such persons are rare.

The (jan-i) person (jin-i) who (bujhiaa) understands this (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance, (su) that person (jaapai) gets known in all (chahu) four (kunddi) quarters of, i.e. the whole, world.

 

ਜੋ ਨਰੁ ਉਸ ਕੀ ਸਰਣੀ ਪਰੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਕੰਬਹਿ ਪਾਪੈ ॥ ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕੀ ਮਲੁ ਉਤਰੈ ਗੁਰ ਧੂੜੀ ਨਾਪੈ ॥

Jo nar us kī sarṇī parai ṯis kambėh pāpai.  Janam janam kī mal uṯrai gur ḏẖūṛī nāpai.

 

(Jo) whosoever (parai) places the self (sarni = sanctuary) in guidance (ki) of (us) that person, (paapai) transgressions (kambah-i) tremble, i.e. do not come near, (tis-u = that) him/her.

(Mal-u = dirt) influence on the mind of wrong-doings of (janam janam) numerous past births (utrai) is removed (naapai) by bathing in (dhoorri) dust of the feet of, i.e. by submitting to teachings of, (gur) the guru – to obey Divine commands.

 

ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਸੋਗੁ ਨ ਸੰਤਾਪੈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਤੂ ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਮਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਭਿ ਜਾਣਹਿ ਆਪੈ ॥

Jin har bẖāṇā maniā ṯis sog na sanṯāpai.  Har jīo ṯū sabẖnā kā miṯ hai sabẖ jāṇėh āpai.

 

(Sog-u) sorrow does not (santaapai = bothers) come to (tis-u = that) one (jin-i) who (manniaa) obeys (bhaana) will/commands of (har-i) the Almighty.

O (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty, (too) You are (mit-u) the friend (ka) of (sabhna) all and (sabh-i) all (jaanah-i) consider You (aapai) their own.

 

ਐਸੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਜਨੈ ਕੀ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਹਰਿ ਪਰਤਾਪੈ ॥ ਸਭ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਜਨ ਵਰਤਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਤੇ ਜਾਪੈ ॥੮॥

Aisī sobẖā janai kī jevad har parṯāpai.  Sabẖ anṯar jan varṯāiā har jan ṯe jāpai. ||8||

 

(Sobha) glory of (janai = servant) one who obeys the Almighty is (aisi) as great (jevadd-u) as great as (partaapai) majesty of (har-i) the Almighty.

The Almighty (vartaaiaa = causes to be present) spreads the glory of (jan) the devotee (anadr-i = in) amongst (sabh) all; (har-i) the Almighty (jaapai) is perceived (tey) from attributes of (jan) devotee of (har-i) the Almighty. 8.

Dakẖṇe mėhlā 5.  Jinā picẖẖai hao gaī se mai picẖẖai bẖī raviās.  Jinā kī mai āsṛī ṯinā mahijī ās. ||1||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru in southern Punjabi language. Those (jinaa) whom (mai) I (pichhai = after, gaee = went) followed to seek help, (sey) they (bhi) also (raviaas-u = wandered) followed (mai) me.

Those (jinaa ki) from whom I have (aasrri) expectation, they have (aas) expectation (mahinji = mine) from me – the benevolent Creator alone expects nothing in return. 1.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਗਿਲੀ ਗਿਲੀ ਰੋਡੜੀ ਭਉਦੀ ਭਵਿ ਭਵਿ ਆਇ ॥ ਜੋ ਬੈਠੇ ਸੇ ਫਾਥਿਆ ਉਬਰੇ ਭਾਗ ਮਥਾਇ ॥੨॥

Mėhlā 5.  Gilī gilī rodṛī bẖauḏī bẖav bẖav āe.  Jo baiṯẖe se fāthiā ubre bẖāg mathāe. ||2||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru. The fly (bhaudi = wanders) flies around but (bhav-i bhav-i) wandering (aaey) comes back to (gili gili = wet) wherever there is moist (roddrri) molasses – so is the case with the humans, they keep succumbing to temptations.

Those flies which (baitthey) sit of the wet molasses, (sey) they (phaathey = trapped) get stuck, i.e. whosoever once succumbs to temptations does again and again; those who have (bhaag) fortune based on past good deeds written (mathaaey) on the forehead, i.e. in their destiny – they follow the guru and are saved. 2.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਡਿਠਾ ਹਭ ਮਝਾਹਿ ਖਾਲੀ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਜਾਣੀਐ ॥ ਤੈ ਸਖੀ ਭਾਗ ਮਥਾਹਿ ਜਿਨੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਜਣੁ ਰਾਵਿਆ ॥੩॥

Prologue by the fifth Guru. I (dditthaa) see God present (majhaah-i) in (sabh) all; we should not (jaaneeai = consider) think (koey) any-one/place is (khaali = empty) without IT.

(Tai) those (sakhi) friends, (jinni) who (raaviaa = enjoy company) have found (sajan-u) the friend-Almighty (meyra = my) of all, they have (bhaag = fortune, mathaah-i = written on forehead) good fortune, i.e. have done good deeds in the past. 3.

 

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਹਉ ਢਾਢੀ ਦਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਦਾ ਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਥਿਰ ਥਾਵਰੀ ਹੋਰ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਵੈ ॥

Paoṛī.  Hao dẖādẖī ḏar guṇ gāvḏā je har parabẖ bẖāvai.  Parabẖ merā thir thāvrī hor āvai jāvai.

 

(Paurri) stanza by the fifth Guru. I (ddhaaddhi = bard) a seeker, (gaavda = sing) praise (gun) virtues of the Almighty and emulate them (jey = if) when (har-i) the Almighty (prabh) Master (bhaavai) is pleased, i.e. motivates.

I do not invoke anyone else as whereas (prabh-u) Master (meyra = my) of all is (thir) stable at one (thaavri) place, i.e. is Eternal, (hor) others (aavai = comes) are born and then (jaavai = goes) die.

 

ਸੋ ਮੰਗਾ ਦਾਨੁ ਗੋਸਾਈਆ ਜਿਤੁ ਭੁਖ ਲਹਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੀਉ ਦੇਵਹੁ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਢਾਢੀ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਵੈ ॥

So mangā ḏān gosāīā jiṯ bẖukẖ lėh jāvai.  Parabẖ jīo ḏevhu ḏarsan āpṇā jiṯ dẖādẖī ṯaripṯāvai.

 

O (gosaaeeaa = master of the world) Master, I (manga) ask for (so) that (daan-u = alms) benediction from You by (jit-u) which (bhukh = hunger) craving (lah-i jaavai = is removed) ends, – and I stop running after desires.

O (jeeo) revered (prabh) Master, please (devhu = give, darsan-u = vision) impart awareness of Your virtues and commands by (jit-u) which (ddhaaddhi = bard) the seeker (triptaavai) is satiated and craves no more.

 

ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ਸੁਣੀ ਦਾਤਾਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਢਾਢੀ ਕਉ ਮਹਲਿ ਬੁਲਾਵੈ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਖਦਿਆ ਦੁਖ ਭੁਖ ਗਈ ਢਾਢੀ ਕਉ ਮੰਗਣੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥

Arḏās suṇī ḏāṯār parabẖ dẖādẖī kao mahal bulāvai. Parabẖ ḏekẖḏiā ḏukẖ bẖukẖ gaī dẖādẖī kao mangaṇ cẖiṯ na āvai.

 

(Daar-i = giver) the benevolent (pabh-i) Master (suni) listens to (ardaas-i) the supplication and (bulaavai = calls, kau = to) calls in the seeker (mahal-i) to the palace/abode.

(Dukh) pain of separation and (bhukh = hunger) material wants (gaee = gone) disappear – (deykhdiaa) on seeing (prabh) the Almighty -, (mangan-u) asking for anything does not (aavai) come (chit-i) to mind (kau) of the Ddhaaddhi/seeker.

 

ਸਭੇ ਇਛਾ ਪੂਰੀਆ ਲਗਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ ਹਉ ਨਿਰਗੁਣੁ ਢਾਢੀ ਬਖਸਿਓਨੁ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਪੁਰਖਿ ਵੇਦਾਵੈ ॥੯॥

Sabẖe icẖẖā pūrīā lag parabẖ kai pāvai.  Hao nirguṇ dẖādẖī bakẖsion parabẖ purakẖ vaiḏāvai.

||9||

 

(Sabhey) all (ichhaa) wishes are (pooreea) fulfilled (lag-i = by touching) by finding (paavai = feet) sanctuary (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.

(Purakh-i) the all-pervasive (pabh-i) Almighty is kind (bakhsion) to bestow grace and accept (hau) me, (nirgun-u) a virtue-less (veydaavai = without claim) undeserving (ddhaaddhi) seeker. 9.

Dakẖṇe mėhlā 5.  Jā cẖẖute ṯā kẖāk ṯū suñī kanṯ na jāṇhī.  Ḏurjan seṯī nehu ṯū kai guṇ har rang māṇhī. ||1||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru in southern Punjabi language. O human being, (ja) when the soul (too) you (chhuttey = get free) leaves (ta) then the body (khaak-u) dust; and one (sunjni = empty) unaware of Naam/Divine virtues and commands, cannot (jaanahi) know (kant-u) the Master.

You have (neyh-u) affection/liking (seyti) for (durjan = evil person) vices then (kai = by which, gun = attribute) how can (tai) you (maanahi) enjoy (rang-u) love of (har-i) the Almighty. 1.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਘੜੀ ਨ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਵਿਸਰੇ ਸਰੈ ਨ ਬਿੰਦ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਿਉ ਕਿਉ ਮਨ ਰੂਸੀਐ ਜਿਸਹਿ ਹਮਾਰੀ ਚਿੰਦ ॥੨॥

Mėhlā 5.  Nānak jis bin gẖaṛī na jīvṇā visre sarai na binḏ.  Ŧis sio kio man rūsīai jisahi hamārī cẖinḏ. ||2||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru. We cannot (sarai) afford (visrey) to forget even (bind) a bit, the Creator (bin-u) without (jis-u = who) whose support – presence of the soul within – we cannot (jeevna) live even for (gharri = short while) a moment – we shall fall into the quagmire of vices.

We (kiau = why?) should not (rooseeai) be estranged (siau) with (tis-u) that Master (jisah-i) who has (chind) concern of (hamaari) our welfare. 2.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਰਤੇ ਰੰਗਿ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕੈ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਅਤਿ ਗੁਲਾਲੁ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਆਲੂਦਿਆ ਜਿਤੀ ਹੋਰੁ ਖਿਆਲੁ ॥੩॥

Mėhlā 5.  Raṯe rang pārbarahm kai man ṯan aṯ gulāl.  Nānak viṇ nāvai ālūḏiā jiṯī hor kẖiāl. ||3||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru. (Man-u) mind and (tan-u) body of one (ratey) imbued (rang-i) with love (kai) of (paarbrahm) the Supreme Being are of (at-i) very deep (gulaal-u) red colour – clothes worn at wedding/happy occasion – sign of happiness of one’s being.

(Jiti = as many) all (hor-u) other (khiaal-u) ideas (vin-u) except (naavai) living by Naam or Divine virtues and commands (aaloodiaa) defile the mind – take one away from God. 3.

 

ਪਵੜੀ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਜਾ ਤੂ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਕਿਆ ਮੈ ਕਾੜਾ ॥ ਜਿਨੀ ਠਗੀ ਜਗੁ ਠਗਿਆ ਸੇ ਤੁਧੁ ਮਾਰਿ ਨਿਵਾੜਾ ॥

Pavṛī.  Har jīo jā ṯū merā miṯar hai ṯā kiā mai kāṛā.  Jinī ṯẖagī jag ṯẖagiā se ṯuḏẖ mār nivāṛā.

 

(Pavrri) stanza by the fifth Guru. O (jeeo) revered (har-i) Almighty, (ja) when (too) You are (meyra) my (mitr-u) friend than (mai) I have (kiaa = what?) no (kaarra) worry.

(Tudh-u) You (maar-i) have killed and (nivaarra = pushed away) driven out from my mind (tthagi = cheats) vices (jini) which (tthagiaa = cheat) entice (jag-u = world) people, i.e. cause people to stray.

 

ਗੁਰਿ ਭਉਜਲੁ ਪਾਰਿ ਲੰਘਾਇਆ ਜਿਤਾ ਪਾਵਾੜਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਸਭਿ ਰਸ ਭੋਗਦਾ ਵਡਾ ਆਖਾੜਾ ॥

Gur bẖaojal pār langẖāiā jiṯā pāvāṛā.  Gurmaṯī sabẖ ras bẖogḏā vadā ākẖāṛā.

 

When You lead one to the guru, (gur-i) the guru (langhaaiaa) ferries him/her (paar-i) across (bhaujal-u) the world-ocean, i.e. guru guides to overcome vices in the world-play, and one (jitaa) wins (pavaarraa = strife) the battle – against vices.

(Gurmati) with the guru’s guidance, one (bhogda = consumes) enjoys (sabh-i) all (ras = relishes) pleasures in this (vaddaa) big (aakhaarra) arena – the world-play.

 

ਸਭਿ ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀਆ ਵਸਿ ਕਰਿ ਦਿਤੀਓ ਸਤਵੰਤਾ ਸਾੜਾ ॥

Sabẖ inḏrīā vas kar ḏiṯīo saṯvanṯā sāṛā.

 

You (kar-i diteeo) made (sabh-i) all (indreeaa) organs to be under his/her (vas-i) control, i.e. s/he conquers the mind, o (saarra/saadda) our (satvanta) righteous Master.

Now (jit-u) wherever I want the organs to (laaeean) engage, they (lagdeeaa) engage (titai) there; there is no (khinjotaarraa/khinchotaan) strife.

(Jo) whatever I (ichhi) wish, I (paaida) achieve (phal-u = fruit) fulfilment of (so) that; (gur-i) the guru has (vaarraa = caused to entered) put his counsel (andar-i) in me.

When (gur-u) Guru Nanak (tutthaa) has been pleased to guide, and I find (har-i) the Almighty (vasda) dwelling (neyrra) near, i.e. I find the Almighty with me, o (bhaairhu) brethren. 10.

Prologue by the fifth Guru. (Kaparr) clothes, (bhog) fulfilment of physical/material desires and indulgence in (vikaar) vices as means of pleasure; (aey) these are (habhey hi) all (chhaar = dust) worthless – the real pleasure is in finding the Almighty.

I (lurreyda) seek (khaak-u) the dust of the feet (khey) of (tann-i) those (jo) who (ratey = imbued) yearn for (deedaar) vision of the Almighty. 2.

Prologue by the fifth Guru. O (heearrey = mind) human being (kiaa) why do you (takah-i) look (biaa) on the other (paas) side – to others; (kar-i) make the Almighty (hik-u = one) alone your (adhaar-u) support. 

(Theeo) be (reyn-u) the dust of the feet (ki) of (santan = saints) the seekers, i.e. humbly follow those by (jit-u) whose guidance you can (labh-i) find the Almighty (daataar-u) giver of (sukh) comforts/peace. 3.

(Jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty is not (paaeeai) found (vin-u) without (karma = deeds) living by Naam or Divine virtues and commands; (manooaa) the mind does not (lagai = attach) remain focused on obedience to the Almighty (bin-u) without guidance of (satigur) the true guru.

(Dharam-u) dutiful-ness – obedience of Divine commands – is the source of (dheera) stability of mind (andrey) in (kal-i) the age of conflict/duality, but (ihu) this (paapi = transgressor) wavering mind does not (mool-i) at all (tagai = lasts) remain in obedience.

 

ਅਹਿ ਕਰੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਅਹਿ ਕਰੁ ਪਾਏ ਇਕ ਘੜੀ ਮੁਹਤੁ ਨ ਲਗੈ ॥ ਚਾਰੇ ਜੁਗ ਮੈ ਸੋਧਿਆ ਵਿਣੁ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਨ ਭਗੈ ॥

Ah kar kare so ah kar pāe ik gẖaṛī muhaṯ na lagai.  Cẖāre jug mai soḏẖiā viṇ sangaṯ ahaʼnkār na bẖagai.

 

What (ah-i) this (kar-u) hand/person (karey) does, (ah-i) this same hand/person (paaey) receives its consequences; this does not (lagai) take even (ik = one) a (gharry = twenty four minutes, gharri = 48 minutes) a short time.

(Mai) I (sodhiaa) have studied the practices in (chaarey) all four (jog) ages; (ahankaar-u = vanity) disobedience to Divine commands does not (bhagai = run) leave one (vin-u) without joining and learning in (sangat-i = company) holy congregation – where virtues and commands of the Almighty are recounted and learnt to practice.

 

ਹਉਮੈ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਛੁਟਈ ਵਿਣੁ ਸਾਧੂ ਸਤਸੰਗੈ ॥ ਤਿਚਰੁ ਥਾਹ ਨ ਪਾਵਈ ਜਿਚਰੁ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਿਉ ਮਨ ਭੰਗੈ ॥

Haumai mūl na cẖẖutī viṇ sāḏẖū saṯsangai.  Ŧicẖar thāh na pāvī jicẖar sāhib sio man bẖangai.

 

(Haumai = ego) acting by self-will is not (chhuttaee = left) given up (vin-u) without joining (satsangai) the holy congregation where teachings of (saadhoo) the guru are learnt.

One cannot (paavaee = obtain) get to (thaah) the place/abode of the Almighty (tichar-u) that long (jichar) as long as (man) the mind (bhangai = breaks) remains disconnected (sio) from (sahib) the Master.

 

ਜਿਨਿ ਜਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਘਰਿ ਦੀਬਾਣੁ ਅਭਗੈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਚਰਣੀ ਲਗੈ ॥੧੧॥

Jin jan gurmukẖ seviā ṯis gẖar ḏībāṇ abẖgai.  Har kirpā ṯe sukẖ pāiā gur saṯgur cẖarṇī lagai. ||11||

 

The (jan-i) person (jin-i) who (seyvia = serves) lives in obedience of the Almighty (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance, (tis-u) that person has (deebaan-u) court, i.e. presence, (abhagai = unbreakable) of the Eternal (ghar-i = in house) in mind.

One is led to the guru, (tey) with (kirpa = kindness) grace of (har-i) Almighty, s/he (lagai = attaches to, charni = feet/obedience) obeys (gur) the great (satigur) true guru – to live by Divine commands, and (paaiaa = obtains) attains (sukh-u) the comfort – of union with the Creator and obviates further births and deaths. 11.

ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਲੋੜੀਦੋ ਹਭ ਜਾਇ ਸੋ ਮੀਰਾ ਮੀਰੰਨ ਸਿਰਿ ॥ ਹਠ ਮੰਝਾਹੂ ਸੋ ਧਣੀ ਚਉਦੋ ਮੁਖਿ ਅਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

Dakẖṇe mėhlā 5.  Loṛīḏo habẖ jāe so mīrā mīrann sir.  Haṯẖ manjẖāhū so ḏẖaṇī cẖauḏo mukẖ alāe. ||1||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru in southern Punjabi language. I (lorreedo) searched at (habh) all (jaaey) places for (so = that) the One (meeraa = king) Sovereign who is (sir-i = over the head) above all (meerann) kings.

I found (so) that (dhani) Master (manjhaahoo) within (hatth = heart) me; IT (chaudo) calls out (alaaey) speaking (mukh-i) from the mouth, i.e. we should listen to IT within. 1.

Mėhlā 5.  Māṇikū mohi māo dinnā ḏẖaṇī apāhi.  Hiāo mahijā ṯẖandẖṛā mukẖahu sacẖ alāe. ||2||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru. O (maau) mother, (apaah-i/apaar) the Infinite (dhani) Master (ddinnaa/ditaa) has given (moh-i) me (maanikoo = jewel) the wealth of awareness of Naam or Divine virtues and commands.

I (alaaey) utter (sach-u = truth) Naam (mukhahu) from the mouth and practice it – not committing any vices and hence; (mahija) my (hiaao/hirda) mind is (tthanddrraa = cool) is at peace. 2.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਮੂ ਥੀਆਊ ਸੇਜ ਨੈਣਾ ਪਿਰੀ ਵਿਛਾਵਣਾ ॥ ਜੇ ਡੇਖੈ ਹਿਕ ਵਾਰ ਤਾ ਸੁਖ ਕੀਮਾ ਹੂ ਬਾਹਰੇ ॥੩॥

Mėhlā 5.  Mū thīāū sej naiṇā pirī vicẖẖāvṇā.  Je dekẖai hik vār ṯā sukẖ kīmā hū bāhre. ||3||

 

Prologue by the fifth Guru. I wish I (theeaaoo) be (seyj) the cot and my (naina) eyes be (vichhaavna) the bed-spread.

(Jey) if IT (ddeykhai/deykhai = sees) casts the sight of grace (hik = one, vaar = time) once, i.e. responds to my yearning, (ta) then (sukh) comforts attained are (baaharey = outside) beyond (keema) price, i.e. it is like receiving all treasures. 3.

 

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਮਨੁ ਲੋਚੈ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲਣ ਕਉ ਕਿਉ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਪਾਈਆ ॥ ਮੈ ਲਖ ਵਿੜਤੇ ਸਾਹਿਬਾ ਜੇ ਬਿੰਦ ਬਲਾਈਆ ॥

Paoṛī.  Man locẖai har milaṇ kao kio ḏarsan pāīā.  Mai lakẖ viṛṯe sāhibā je binḏ bolāīā.

 

(Paurri) stanza by the fifth Guru. My (man-u) mind (lochai) yearns (kau) to (milan = meet) find (har-i) the Almighty; (kiau) how do I (paaeeaa) obtain (darsan) vision of IT?

I will consider (virratey) having received (lakh) a hundred thousand rupees (jey) if You (bulaaeea) speak, i.e. reveal Yourself to me (bind = a bit) for a moment, my Master.

 

ਮੈ ਚਾਰੇ ਕੁੰਡਾ ਭਾਲੀਆ ਤੁਧੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਨ ਸਾਈਆ ॥ ਮੈ ਦਸਿਹੁ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਸੰਤਹੋ ਕਿਉ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਮਿਲਾਈਆ ॥

Mai cẖāre kundā bẖālīā ṯuḏẖ jevad na sāīā.  Mai ḏasihu mārag sanṯaho kio parabẖū milāīā.

 

(Mai) I (bhaaleeaa = searched) have surveyed (chaarey) all four (kundda) quarters of the world; and found there is none (jeyvadd) as great as (tudh-u) You, o (saaeeaa) Master.

Request: O (santaho) saints, please (dasihu) tell (mai) me (maarag-u = path) the way; (kio) how do I (milaaeeaa) meet (prabhoo) the Master?

 

ਮਨੁ ਅਰਪਿਹੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਤਜਹੁ ਇਤੁ ਪੰਥਿ ਜੁਲਾਈਆ ॥ ਨਿਤ ਸੇਵਿਹੁ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਸਤਸੰਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਈਆ ॥

Man arpihu haumai ṯajahu iṯ panth julāīā.  Niṯ sevihu sāhib āpṇā saṯsang milāīā.

 

Answer: (Arpihu) make offering of, i.e. dedicate (man-u) the mind/thoughts to obedience of the Master, (tajahu) give up (haumai = ego) acting by self-will; (jilaaeaa) go on (it-u) this (panth) path, i.e. make this your way of life.

(Milaaeeaa = meet) join (satisang-i) the holy congregation to obtain awareness of Naam; and (nit) ever (seyvihu = serve) obey (aapna = own) your (sahib-u) Master – the Almighty.

 

ਸਭੇ ਆਸਾ ਪੂਰੀਆ ਗੁਰ ਮਹਲਿ ਬੁਲਾਈਆ ॥ ਤੁਧੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਹੋਰੁ ਨ ਸੁਝਈ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਿਤ੍ਰ ਗਸਾਈਆ ॥੧੨॥

Sabẖe āsā pūrīā gur mahal bulāīā.  Ŧuḏẖ jevad hor na sujẖī mere miṯar gosāīā. ||12||

 

I followed the above and the Almighty (bulaaeeaa) called me in (gur) the great (mahal-i) palace – IT’s abode; (sabhey) all my (aasaa) wishes have been (pooreeaa) fulfilled.

I cannot (sujhaee) think of any one (hor-u) else (jeyvadd) as great as (tudh-u) You, – you are so gracious to have become – (meyrey) my (mitr) friend and (gusaaeeaa = master of earth) Master. 12.
