ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਕਾਇਆ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ॥ ਤਿਥੈ ਹਰਿ ਵਸੈ ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰਾ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵਿਹੁ ਸਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Kā▫i▫ā kancẖan sabaḏ vīcẖārā.  Ŧithai har vasai jis ḏā anṯ na pārāvārā.  An▫ḏin har sevihu sacẖī baṇī har jī▫o sabaḏ milā▫iḏā. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. (Kaaiaa) the body/person who (veechaara) contemplates (sabad-u = word) Divine commands – and acts on them has no vices and is pure/precious like – (kanchan-u) gold. (Har-i) the Almighty, (jis da = whose) who has no (ant-u) limit or (paravaara = this end or the far end) boundary (vasai = abides) is remembered (tithai = there) by that person.

We should (andidn-u = everyday) ever (seyvihu = serve) obey (baani = words) commands (sachi = true) of the Eternal (har-i) the Almighty; (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (milaaida) unites with IT-self (sabad-i = with the word) through obedience to IT’s commands. 1.

ਹਰਿ ਚੇਤਹਿ ਤਿਨ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੈ ਜਾਉ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਤਿਨ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਉ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਧੂਰਿ ਲਾਈ ਮੁਖਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਬਹਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥

Har cẖīṯėh ṯin balihārai jā▫o.  Gur kai sabaḏ ṯin mel milā▫o. Ŧin kī ḏẖūr lā▫ī mukẖ masṯak saṯsangaṯ bahi guṇ gā▫iḏā. ||2||

 

I (balihaarai jaau = am sacrifice) adore (tin) those who (cheytah-i) keep in mind – commands of (har-i) the Almighty. The Almighty leads them to the guru and (milaau = causes to meet) facilitates (meyli) union with IT-self (sabad-i = with word) with guidance (kai) of (gur) the guru.

I (laai) apply (dhoor-i) the dust (tin ki) of their feet (mukh-i) face and (mastak-i) forehead, i.e. pay obeisance to them, and in their (satsangat-i) holy company (gaaida = sing) praise and emulate (gun) virtues of the Almighty. 2.

 

ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾ ਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵਾ ॥ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਚਹੁ ਕੁੰਡੀ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਸਾਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥

Har ke guṇ gāvā je har parabẖ bẖāvā.  Anṯar har nām sabaḏ suhāvā.  Gurbāṇī cẖahu kundī suṇī▫ai sācẖai nām samā▫iḏā. ||3||

 

I (gaava = sing) praise and emulate (gun) virtues (key) of the Almighty, (jey) if I (bhava = liked) blessed by (har-i) the Almighty (prabh) Master. Naam (har-i) of the Almighty (suhaava) feels good/agreeable (anatar-i) within (sabad-i = with the word) with teachings of the guru.

(Gurbani) the guru’s word/teachings of living by Naam are universal; they (suneeai) are heard (chahu = four, kunddi = quarters) everywhere; one (samaaida) merges in (saachi) the Eternal (naam-i = with naam) with practice of Naam as taught by the guru. 3.

 

ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਜਿ ਅੰਤਰੁ ਭਾਲੇ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਲੇ ॥ ਗਿਆਨ ਅੰਜਨੁ ਪਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਨਦਰੀ ਨਦਰਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥

So jan sācẖā jė anṯar bẖāle.  Gur kai sabaḏ har naḏar nihāle.  Gi▫ān anjan pā▫e gur sabḏī naḏrī naḏar milā▫iḏā. ||4||

 

(So) that person is (saachaa = truthful) a genuine seeker (j-i) who (bhaaley) searches the Almighty (antar-i) within. When done (sabad-i = with the word) with guidance (kai) of the guru, (har-i) the Almighty (nihaaley) bestows (nadar-i) grace – and is found. ===sees the Almighty with eyes

When one (paaey) puts (anjan-u = collyrium) the eye medicine of (giaan) awareness of the self (sabdi) through teachings of the guru, the Almighty is found within and (nadri = sight, nadar-i = of grace) graciously (milaaida) unites with IT-self. 4.

 

ਵਡੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਇਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਮਾਣਸ ਜਨਮਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਆ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਸਭੁ ਅੰਧ ਅੰਧੇਰਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕਿਸਹਿ ਬੁਝਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥

vadai bẖāg ih sarīr pā▫i▫ā.  Māṇas janam sabaḏ cẖiṯ lā▫i▫ā.  Bin sabḏai sabẖ anḏẖ anḏẖerā gurmukẖ kisėh bujẖā▫iḏā. ||5||

 

(Ihu) this human (sareer-u) body/birth is (paaiaa) obtained with (vaddai = great) good (bhaag-i) fortune. It is (maanas) in human (janam-i) birth that one (laaiaa) applies (chit-u) the mind (sabad-i) to teachings of the guru.

There is (andh) blinding (andheyra) darkness/ignorance (sabh-u) all over (bin-u) without (sabdai = word) guidance of the guru; the Almighty (bujhaaida) gives understanding of IT’s commands, (kisah-i) to some rare person (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance. 5.

 

ਇਕਿ ਕਿਤੁ ਆਏ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਏ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਲਾਗੇ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਏ ॥ ਏਹ ਵੇਲਾ ਫਿਰਿ ਹਾਥਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਪਗਿ ਖਿਸਿਐ ਪਛੁਤਾਇਦਾ ॥੬॥

Ik kiṯ ā▫e janam gavā▫e.  Manmukẖ lāge ḏūjai bẖā▫e.  Ėh velā fir hāth na āvai pag kẖisi▫ai pacẖẖuṯā▫iḏā. ||6||

 

(Kit-u) why did (ik-i = one type) some people (aaey = came) take (janam-u) human birth only to (gaavey = lose) waste it – by not acting to attain union with the Creator. Such (manmukh) self-willed people – do not obey the guru to live by Naam and – (laagey) engage in (doojai) other (bhaaey = ideas) pursuits.

(Eh) this (veyla = time) opportunity – of getting human birth shall not (aavai = come, haath-i = in hand) come (phir-i) again; and on (khisiai) slipping (pag-i) of the foot, – from the ladder leading to the Almighty -, i.e. missing the opportunity to unite with God, one (pachhutaaida) repents. 6.

 

ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਸਰੀਰਾ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਸੈ ਸਚੁ ਗੁਣੀ ਗਹੀਰਾ ॥ ਸਚੋ ਸਚੁ ਵੇਖੈ ਸਭ ਥਾਈ ਸਚੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਦਾ ॥੭॥

Gur kai sabaḏ paviṯar sarīrā.  Ŧis vicẖ vasai sacẖ guṇī gahīrā.  Sacẖo sacẖ vekẖai sabẖ thā▫ī sacẖ suṇ man vasā▫iḏā. ||7||

 

(Sareera) the body/mind which is (pavitr) is purified (sabad-i = with the word) with teachings (kai) of the guru. (Sach-u) the Eternal Master, who is (gaheera) deep (guni) in virtues, (vasai) abides – is found (vich-i) in (tis-u) that body/mind.

S/he (veykhai) sees (sacho sach-u) the Eternal alone at (sabh) all (thaai) places, (sun-i) listens to (sach-u = truth) Naam and (vasaaida = causes to dwell) keeps it (mann-i) in mind. 7.

 

ਹਉਮੈ ਗਣਤ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਰਖਹੁ ਉਰ ਧਾਰੇ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਦਾ ਸਾਲਾਹੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥

Ha▫umai gaṇaṯ gur sabaḏ nivāre.  Har jī▫o hirḏai rakẖahu ur ḏẖāre.  Gur kai sabaḏ saḏā sālāhe mil sācẖe sukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||8||

 

(Sabad-i) with teachings of the guru s/he (nivaarey) gets rid of (humai) ego and (ganat = count) wanting to be counted/recognized. And tells the self to (rakhahu) keep (ur dhaarey) remembering (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (hirdai) in mind.

S/he (sadaa) ever (saalaahey) praises and emulates virtues of the Almighty (sabd-i) with guidance of the guru, (mil-i) unites (saachey) with the Eternal and (paaida) attains (sukh-u) peace. 8.

 

ਸੋ ਚੇਤੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਚੇਤਾਏ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਏ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਵੇਖੈ ਆਪੇ ਬੂਝੈ ਆਪੈ ਆਪੁ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

So cẖeṯe jis āp cẖeṯā▫e.  Gur kai sabaḏ vasai man ā▫e.  Āpe vekẖai āpe būjẖai āpai āp samā▫iḏā. ||9||

 

Only (so) that person (chetey) keeps in mind – virtues and commands of the Almighty – (jis-u) whom (aap-i) IT-self (cheytaai) causes to keep in mind – by leading to the guru -, IT (aaey) comes and (vasai) abides, i.e. is found, (man-i) in the mind (sabad-i = with the word) with guidance of the guru.

The Almighty (aapey) IT-self (veykhai) watches and (boojhai) understands, and (aapai aap-u) IT-self (samaaida = enters) manifests – to that person who remembers IT. 9.

 

ਜਿਨਿ ਮਨ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਥੁ ਪਾਈ ਸੋਈ ਜਾਣੈ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦੇ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥

Jin man vicẖ vath pā▫ī so▫ī jāṇai.  Gur kai sabḏe āp pacẖẖāṇai.  Āp pacẖẖāṇai so▫ī jan nirmal baṇī sabaḏ suṇā▫iḏā. ||10||

 

One (jin-i) who has (paaee) found (vath-u = substance) Naam (vich-i) in (man) the mind, (soee) that person (jaanai) knows what Naam is. S/he (pachhaanai = recognizes) understands (aap-u) the self with (sabdey) word/guidance of the guru.

One who (pachaanai) recognizes the Almighty within, (soee) that (jan) person – obeys Divine commands and – is (nirmal-u = clean) free of vices; s/he (sunaaida = causes to hear) preaches (baani) words of the guru – to live by – (sabad-u) Divine commands. 10.

 

ਏਹ ਕਾਇਆ ਪਵਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਰੀਰੁ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਚੇਤੈ ਗੁਣੀ ਗਹੀਰੁ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਗੁਣ ਕਹਿ ਗੁਣੀ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥

Ėh kā▫i▫ā paviṯ hai sarīr.  Gur sabḏī cẖeṯai guṇī gahīr.  An▫ḏin guṇ gāvai rang rāṯā guṇ kahi guṇī samā▫iḏā. ||11||

 

(Eh) this (kaaiaa, sareer-u) body/mind (hai) is (pavit-u) consecrated when (sabdi = with the word) guided by the guru; s/he (cheytai) remembers and practices Naam of the Almighty Master who is (gaheer-u) deep/profound (guni) in virtues.

(Raata) imbued (rang-i) with love of the Almighty, s/he (andin-u = everyday) ever (gaavai = sings) praises and emulates (gun) Divine virtues; and (kah-i) uttering and practicing (gun) Divine virtues (samaaida) is absorbed in the One (guni = virtuous) being praised. 11.

 

ਏਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਸਭ ਮੂਲੁ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇਆ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਨ ਚੇਤੈ ਸਦਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਚੇਤੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥

Ėhu sarīr sabẖ mūl hai mā▫i▫ā.  Ḏūjai bẖā▫e bẖaram bẖulā▫i▫ā.  Har na cẖeṯai saḏā ḏukẖ pā▫e bin har cẖeṯe ḏukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||12||

 

 

(Ehu) this body/mind is also at (mool-u) the root of attachment (maaiaa) the world-play. It is (bhulaaiaa) led astray (bharam-i) in delusion because of (doojai) other (bhaaey) ideas – than obeying God.  

It does not (cheytai) keep in mind – commands of – (har-i) the Almighty and (bin-u) without (cheytey) remembering (har-i) the Almighty, – strays and – (paaida = suffers) comes to (dukh-u) grief. 12.

 

ਜਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵੇ ਸੋ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥ ਕਾਇਆ ਹੰਸੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਦਰਿ ਸਚੈ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵੇ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ਸੋਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੩॥

Jė saṯgur seve so parvāṇ.  Kā▫i▫ā hans nirmal ḏar sacẖai jāṇ.  Har seve har man vasā▫e sohai har guṇ gā▫iḏā. ||13||

 

One (j-i) who (seyvey = serves) obeys (satigur-u) the true guru – to live by Naam -, (so) that person (parvaan-u) is approved by the Almighty. (Hans-u) the soul of that (kaaiaa = body/mind) person is (jaan-u) recognized as being (nirmal-u) free of transgressions in (dar-i) in court (sachai) of the Eternal.

S/he (sevey = serves) obeys, and (vasaaey = causes to dwell) keeps (har-i) the Almighty (mann-i) in mind; s/he (gaaida = sings) praises and emulates (gun) virtues of the Almighty, and (sohai = looks good) is glorified. 13.

 

ਬਿਨੁ ਭਾਗਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਭੂਲੇ ਮੁਏ ਬਿਲਲਾਇ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਨਦਰਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਗੁਰ ਕੇਰੀ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥

Bin bẖāgā gur sevi▫ā na jā▫e.  Manmukẖ bẖūle mu▫e billā▫e.  Jin ka▫o naḏar hovai gur kerī har jī▫o āp milā▫iḏā. ||14||

 

(Gur-u) the guru (na jaaey) cannot be – found and – (seyviaa) obeyed (bin-u) without it being in (bhaaga) destiny. (Manmukh) self-willed persons – do not follow the guru –, (muey = die) succumb to vices and (bil-laaey) wail with pangs of separation from the Almighty.

Those (kau) to (jin) whom the guru’s (nadr-i) grace (hovai) is bestowed, i.e. those who receive and follow the guru’s guidance, (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (milaaida) unites them (aap-i) with IT-self. 14.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਕੋਟੁ ਪਕੇ ਹਟਨਾਲੇ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਲੇਵੈ ਵਸਤੁ ਸਮਾਲੇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਊਤਮ ਪਦਵੀ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥

Kā▫i▫ā kot pake hatnāle.  Gurmukẖ levai vasaṯ samāle.  Har kā nām ḏẖi▫ā▫e ḏin rāṯī ūṯam paḏvī pā▫iḏā. ||15||

 

(Kaaia) the body (kott-u) fort has (pakey) strong (hattnaaley) contiguous shops, where Naam is available, i.e. Naam is present within. (Gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru (leyvai) takes, i.e. obtains awareness of, (vasat-u = substance) Naam and (samaaley = takes care) keeps it in mind.

(Dhiaaey) paying attention to Naam or virtues and commands (ka) of (har-i) the Almighty (din-u = day, raati = night) in all activities, s/he (paaida) attains (ootam = sublime) the exalted (padvi = staus) state of union with the Almighty within. 15.

 

ਆਪੇ ਸਚਾ ਹੈ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ॥ ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਪਛਾਤਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਲਾਹੇ ਸਾਚਾ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਕੋ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੭॥੨੧॥

Āpe sacẖā hai sukẖ▫ḏāṯa.  Pūre gur kai sabaḏ pacẖẖāṯā.  Nānak nām salāhe sācẖā pūrai bẖāg ko pā▫iḏā. ||16||7||21||

ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰਿ ਆਕਾਰੁ ਉਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਬਣਾਇਆ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਖੇਲ ਕਰੇ ਸਭਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਸੁਣਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Nirankār ākār upā▫i▫ā.  Mā▫i▫ā moh hukam baṇā▫i▫ā.  Āpe kẖel kare sabẖ karṯā suṇ sācẖā man vasā▫iḏā. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. (Nirankaar-i) the formless Creator (upaiaa) created (aakaar-u = physical form) the creatures; IT also (hukam-i = with orders) with IT’s commands (banaaiaa) created (moh-u) attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play in them.

(Karta) the Creator (aapey) IT-self (karey) creates (sabh-i) all (kheyl = play) phenomena – and makes them subject to Divine will; some rare person (sun-i) listens to and (vasaaida = causes to dwell) keeps commands of (saachaa) the Eternal (mann-i) in mind. 1.

 

ਮਾਇਆ ਮਾਈ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਪਰਸੂਤਿ ਜਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਚਾਰੇ ਬੇਦ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੇ ਨੋ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਵਰ੍ਹੇ ਮਾਹ ਵਾਰ ਥਿਤੀ ਕਰਿ ਇਸੁ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥

Mā▫i▫ā mā▫ī ṯarai guṇ parsūṯ jamā▫i▫ā.  Cẖāre beḏ barahme no furmā▫i▫ā.  varĥe māh vār thiṯī kar is jag mėh sojẖī pā▫iḏā. ||2||

 

The Almighty father caused (maaiaa) the world-play, (maai) as mother, to (jamaaiaa) give birth (parsoot-i) to the offspring – of (trai gun) the three (gun) attributes – of acting in ego. And (furmaaiaa) gave command (no) to Brahma to read (chaarey) the four (beyd) Vedas.

The Vedas cause (sojhi = awareness) to observe superstitions connected with (varhey) years, (maah) months, (vaar) days of the week, (thiti) days of the lunar cycle (mah-i) in (is-u) this (jag) world. 2.

 

ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਤੇ ਕਰਣੀ ਸਾਰ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਾਖਹੁ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰ ॥ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਵਰਤੀ ਜਗ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਇਸੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥

Gur sevā ṯe karṇī sār.  Rām nām rākẖo ur ḏẖār.  Gurbāṇī varṯī jag anṯar is baṇī ṯe har nām pā▫iḏā. ||3||

 

One’s (karni) conduct becomes (saar) sublime (tey) with (seyva = service) obedience to teachings of (gur) the guru. The guru teaches to (raakhahu) keep (naam-u) virtues and commands of (raam) the all-pervasive Almighty (dhaar-i) enshrined (ur-i) in mind.

(Gurbani = guru’s word) the guru’s teachings (vartai) apply (antar-i) in the whole (jag) world, i.e. they have universal application; one (paaida) obtains awareness of Naam of (har-i) the Almighty (tey) from (is-u = this) the guru’s (baani = word) teachings. 3.

 

ਵੇਦੁ ਪੜੈ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਵਾਦ ਸਮਾਲੇ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤੈ ਬਧਾ ਜਮਕਾਲੇ ॥ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਸਦਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥

veḏ paṛai an▫ḏin vāḏ samāle.  Nām na cẖeṯai baḏẖā jamkāle.  Ḏūjai bẖā▫e saḏā ḏukẖ pā▫e ṯarai guṇ bẖaram bẖulā▫iḏā. ||4||

 

The Pandit (andin-u = everyday) ever (parrai) reads (veyd-u = Veda) the scriptures and (samaaley = keeps in mind) thinks of (vaad) arguments to show his knowledge. He does not keep Naam (cheytai) in mind to practice, and is thus (badhaa) bound by (jamkaaley) the agent of Divine justice.

One caught in (doojai = other, bhaaey = ideas) duality (sadaa) ever (paaey = gets) suffers (dukh-u) the pain of separation from the Almighty; s/he (bhulaaiaa) is led astray (bharam-i) in delusion caused by (trai gun) the three attributes of egotism – namely Tamas, Rajas and Sattvic. 4.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਏਕਸੁ ਸਿਉ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਏ ॥ ਤ੍ਰਿਬਿਧਿ ਮਨਸਾ ਮਨਹਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਮੁਕਤਾ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥

Gurmukẖ ekas si▫o liv lā▫e.  Ŧaribaḏẖ mansā manėh samā▫e.  Sācẖai sabaḏ saḏā hai mukṯā mā▫i▫ā moh cẖukā▫iḏā. ||5||

 

(Gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru (laaey) fixes (liv) attention (sio) on (eykas-u) the One Almighty. S/he (samaaey) dissolves (mansa) wishes of the mind caused by (tribidh-i = of three types) the three attributes of egotism (manah-i) in the mind itself.

One who acts (sabad-i) by commands of (saachai) the Eternal, is (sadaa) ever (mukta) free of these attributes and (chukaaida) ends (moh-u) attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play. 5.

 

ਜੋ ਧੁਰਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਸੇ ਹੁਣਿ ਰਾਤੇ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਸਹਜੇ ਮਾਤੇ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਆਪੈ ਆਪੁ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੬॥

Jo ḏẖur rāṯe se huṇ rāṯe.  Gur parsādī sėhje māṯe.  Saṯgur sev saḏā parabẖ pā▫i▫ā āpai āp milā▫iḏā. ||6||

 

Those who were (raatey) imbued with love of the Almighty (dhur-i = at source) in past birth, (sey) are (raatey) imbued (hun-i) now. They are (sahjey) steadfastly (maatey = intoxicated) engrossed in obedience to the Almighty (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of (gur) the guru.

(Seyv-i = serving) with guidance of (satigur-u) the true guru, one (sadaa) ever (paaiaa = finds) experiences (prabh-u) the Almighty within who (aapai aap-u) IT-self (milaaidaa) unites him/her with IT-self. 6.

 

ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਭਰਮਿ ਨ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਲਗਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਸੂਹਾ ਰੰਗੁ ਦਿਨ ਥੋੜੇ ਹੋਵੈ ਇਸੁ ਜਾਦੇ ਬਿਲਮ ਨ ਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੭॥

Mā▫i▫ā mohi bẖaram na pā▫e.  Ḏūjai bẖā▫e lagā ḏukẖ pā▫e.  Sūhā rang ḏin thoṛe hovai is jāḏe bilam na lā▫iḏā. ||7||

 

One caught (moh-i) in attachment (maaiaa) the world- play – relatives, wealth, status and so on -, (bharam-i) is deluded and does not (paaey) find the Almighty. (Lagaa = attached) pursuing (doojai = other, bhaaey = ideas) duality, s/he (paaey = gets) suffers (dukh-u) the pain of separation from the Almighty.

(Sooha rang) bright red colour – pretentious display of love – (hovai) lasts (tthorrai = little) for a few (din) days, i.e. is not lasting, and (laaiaa) takes no (bilam = delay) time, (jaadey) going – being exposed. 7.

 

ਏਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਭੈ ਭਾਇ ਰੰਗਾਏ ॥ ਇਤੁ ਰੰਗਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਕੋ ਇਹੁ ਰੰਗੁ ਪਾਏ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਰੰਗੁ ਚੜਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥

Ėhu man bẖai bẖā▫e rangā▫e.  Iṯ rang sācẖe māhi samā▫e.  Pūrai bẖāg ko ih rang pā▫e gurmaṯī rang cẖaṛā▫iḏā. ||8||  

 

When one gets (eyhu) this mind (rangaaey) dyed/imbued with (bhaaey) loving (bhai = fear) obedience of the Almighty; with (it-u) this (rang-i) love, s/he (samaaey) remains absorbed (maah-i) in (saachey) the Eternal.

(Ko) some rare person (paaey) gets (ihu) this (rag-u) color with (poorai) good (bhaag-i) fortune. S/he is (charraaida) dyed in (ih-u) (rang-u) colour, i.e. develops love for the Almighty, (gurmati) with guidance of the guru. 8.

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਕਰੇ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ॥ ਦਰਗਹ ਕਬ ਹੀ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਮਾਨੁ ॥ ਦੂਜੈ ਲਾਗੇ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ਬਿਨੁ ਬੂਝੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

Manmukẖ bahuṯ kare abẖimān.  Ḏargėh kab hī na pāvai mān.  Ḏūjai lāge janam gavā▫i▫ā bin būjẖe ḏukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||9||

 

(Manmukh-u) a self-willed person – does not obey Divine commands or the guru’s teachings but (karey = does) shows (abhimaan-u) pride – saying I can do everything. S/he can (kab hi) never (paavai) receive (maan-u) honour (dargah) in Divine court – is not accepted for union with the Creator.

One who (laagay) engages in (doojai = other) duality (gavaaiaa = lost) wastes (janam-u) human birth; s/he (paaida) suffers (dukh-u) the pain – of separation from the Almighty – (bin-u = without) by not (boojhai) understanding Naam or Divine virtues and commands. 9.

 

ਮੇਰੈ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਆਪੁ ਲੁਕਾਇਆ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥ ਸਚਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਚਾ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਮੋਲਕੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥

Merai parabẖ anḏar āp lukā▫i▫ā.  Gur parsādī har milai milā▫i▫ā.  Sacẖā parabẖ sacẖā vāpārā nām amolak pā▫iḏā. ||10||

 

 (Prabh-i) the Almighty Master (meyrai = my) of all has (lukaaiaa) hidden (aap-i) the IT-Self (andar-i) within everyone. (Har-i) the Almighty (milai) is found (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of the guru, when with Divine grace, the guru is (milaaiaa) found.

(Prabh-u) the Master is (sachaa) truthful financier for (sachaa) truthful (vaapaara) business dealings, i.e. the Almighty is the source of Naam, and one who finds IT, (paaidaa) receives awareness of (amolak) the priceless Naam. 10.

 

ਇਸੁ ਕਾਇਆ ਕੀ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥ ਮੇਰੈ ਠਾਕੁਰਿ ਇਹ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੁ ਕਾਇਆ ਸੋਧੈ ਆਪਹਿ ਆਪੁ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥

Is kā▫i▫ā kī kīmaṯ kinai na pā▫ī.  Merai ṯẖākur ih baṇaṯ baṇā▫ī.  Gurmukẖ hovai so kā▫i▫ā soḏẖai āpėh āp milā▫iḏā. ||11||

 

(Kinai na) no one (paai = estimated) knows (keemat-i = price) what all is there in (is-u) this (kaaiaa) body. (Tthaakur-i) the Master (meyrai = my) of all has (banaaee = made) created (ih) this (banat = arrangement) phenomenon.

One who (hovai) is follower of the guru, (su) that person (sodhai = studies) looks within (kaaiaa) the body – and the Almighty (aapah-i) IT-self (milaaida) causes to find (aap-u) the Self. 11.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਤੋਟਾ ਕਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਲਾਹਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਖੋਜੇ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਣਜਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਸਹਜੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥

Kā▫i▫ā vicẖ ṯotā kā▫i▫ā vicẖ lāhā.  Gurmukẖ kẖoje veparvāhā. Gurmukẖ vaṇaj saḏā sukẖ pā▫e sėhje sahj milā▫iḏā. ||12||

 

The body is like a shop/business and sometimes there is (totta) loss and sometimes (laaha) profit (vich-i) in (kaaia) the body, i.e. the body/mind does both good deeds and vices. (Gurmukh-i) the guru’s follower (khojey) searches (veyparvaaha = carefree – answerable to none) the Almighty Master within.

 One who does (vanaj-i) business (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance is (sadaa) ever (paaey) obtains (sukh-u) peace; s/he is (sahaj-i) steadfast and (milaaidaa) finds the Almighty (sahjey) naturally. 12.

 

ਸਚਾ ਮਹਲੁ ਸਚੇ ਭੰਡਾਰਾ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਵੈ ਦੇਵਣਹਾਰਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਲਾਹੇ ਸੁਖਦਾਤੇ ਮਨਿ ਮੇਲੇ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੩॥

Sacẖā mahal sacẖe bẖandārā.  Āpe ḏevai ḏevaṇhārā.  Gurmukẖ sālāhe sukẖ▫ḏāṯe man mele kīmaṯ pā▫iḏā. ||13||

 

(Mahal-u = palace) the abode of the Almighty is (sachaa) eternal and is (bhandaara) storehouse (sachey = of truth) of Naam. (Deyvanhaara = giver) the beneficent Master (deyvai) gives awareness of Naam (aapey) IT-self – without asking.

(Gurmukh-i) the guru’s follower (saalaahey) praises and emulates virtues of the Almighty (sukhdaatey) the source of peace; IT (meyley = joins) puts (man-i) the mind on Naam and (paaida) obtains awareness of its (keemat-i) worth, i.e. understands Naam. 13.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਸਤੁ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੇ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਹਟੁ ਸੋਈ ਵਥੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦੇਇ ਨ ਪਛੋਤਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥

Kā▫i▫ā vicẖ vasaṯ kīmaṯ nahī pā▫ī.  Gurmukẖ āpe ḏe vadi▫ā▫ī.  Jis ḏā hat so▫ī vath jāṇai gurmukẖ ḏe▫e na pacẖẖoṯā▫iḏā. ||14||

 

(Vast-u = substance) Naam is (vich-i) in (kaaiaa) the body but one does not (paaee = obtain) know its (keemat-i = price) value – it is the guide for life. (Aapey = self) the Almighty (dey) gives this (vaddiaaee) virtue of awareness (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance.

The Almighty (jis da) whose (hatt-u) shop the body is, (soee) That (jaanai) knows that (vath-u = substance) Naam is in it; IT (dey-i) gives to a Gurmukh – who then acts on it and does not (pachhotaaida) repent for his/her deeds. 14.

 

ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਈ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਈ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਆਪੇ ਸਬਦੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥
Har jī▫o sabẖ mėh rahi▫ā samā▫ī.  Gur parsādī pā▫i▫ā jā▫ī.  Āpe mel milā▫e āpe sabḏe sahj samā▫iḏā. ||15||

 

(Jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (rahiaa = remains, samaai = contained) is present (mah-i) in (sabh) all; and (jaai) can (paaiaa) be found (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of the guru.

(Aapey = self) the Almighty (milaaey = causes to meet) facilitates (meyl-i) union (aapey) with IT-self; one (sahj-i) effortlessly (samaaida) merges in IT (sabdey) by obeying Divine commands – Naam. 15.

ਆਪੇ ਸਚਾ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥ ਸਬਦੇ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਏ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਨਾਮੇ ਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੮॥੨੨॥

Āpe sacẖā sabaḏ milā▫e.  Sabḏe vicẖahu bẖaram cẖukā▫e.  Nānak nām milai vadi▫ā▫ī nāme hī sukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||16||8||22||

 

(Sachaa) the Eternal (milaaey) unites with (aapey) IT-self (sabad-i) with obedience to IT’s commands. One (chukaaey) ends (bharam-u) delusion (vichahu) from within (sabdey) with Divine commands.

(Vaddiaaee) glory (milai) is received (naam-i = with naam) with practice of Naam; it is only (naamey hi) with Naam alone that one (paaida) attains (sukh-u = comfort) union with the Almighty, says third Nanak. 16. 8. 22.
