You (jaani) knew (meyri) my (birtha) painful state of mind and (japaaiaa) caused me to remember and practice (apna = own) Your Naam.

My (dukh) pains (naatthey = run away) have left and (sukh) comforts (samaaey = remain) experienced (sahj-i) all the time; (anad anad/anand) all this bliss is due to (gaaiaa = singing) praising and emulating Your (gun) virtues. 1.

 

ਬਾਹ ਪਕਰਿ ਕਢਿ ਲੀਨੇ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਅੰਧ ਕੂਪ ਤੇ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਿ ਬੰਧਨ ਕਾਟੇ ਬਿਛੁਰਤ ਆਨਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥੨॥੫੧॥੭੪॥
Bāh pakar kadẖ līne apune garih anḏẖ kūp ṯe mā▫i▫ā. Kaho Nānak gur banḏẖan kāte bicẖẖuraṯ ān milā▫i▫ā. ||2||51||74||

 

You (pakar-i) held by (baah) the arm and (kaddh-i leeney) took me out, (apuney = own) Your seeker (tey) from (grih = house) the state of (andh = blind, koop = well) being blinded by temptations of (maaiaa) the world-play, i.e. made me aware of attachment to vices and helped to be freed.

(Gur-i) the guru (kaattey = cut) ended (bandhan = bonds) attachments to the world-play and (aan-i) brought me (bichhrat) the separated one to be (milaaiaa) united with God, says fifth Nanak. 2. 51. 74.
