(Kar-i) considering me IT’s (aapna) own, the Almighty (dey-i) gave IT’s (haath) hand, i.e. has kindly (raakhio) protected from vices in the world-play (jio) like (kamla) the lotus flower (alipaari) is untouched by (jal) water in which it stands. 1.

ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਲੋਭ ਮਦ ਮਤਸਰ ਇਹ ਅਰਪਿ ਸਗਲ ਦਾਨੁ ਕੀਨਾ ॥ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇ ਹਰਿ ਅਉਖਧੁ ਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਓ ਤਉ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਸਗਲ ਪ੍ਰਬੀਨਾ ॥੧॥
Kām kroḏẖ lobẖ maḏ maṯsar ih arap sagal ḏān kīnā. Manṯar driṛāe har aukẖaḏẖ gur ḏīo ṯao milio sagal parbīnā. ||1||
(Kaam) lust, (krodh) anger, (lobh) greed, (mad = intoxicant) pride and (matsar) jealousy; I (arap-i) gave these away (sagal) all, (keena) making (daan-u) a donation, i.e. dispelled them from the mind.
(Gur-i) the guru (deeo) gave the (aukhadh-u) medicine/prescription of (drirraaey) creating firm commitment to (mantr = teaching) living by Naam; (tau) then I (milio) found (sagal = all, prabeena = wise) the all-pervasive Master. 1.
ਗ੍ਰਿਹੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਤੂ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਹਉ ਖੋਈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਦੀਨਾ ॥
Garihu ṯerā ṯū ṯẖākur merā gur hao kẖoī parabẖ ḏīnā.
(Grihu = house) the mind is (teyra = yours) dedicated to You and (too) You are (meyra) my (tthakur) Master; (gur-i) the guru gave me this understanding by (khoi = losing) dispelling (hau) ego from the mind and (deena) gave, i.e. led me to, (prabh-u) the Almighty.

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੈ ਸਹਜ ਘਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਭੰਡਾਰ ਖਜੀਨਾ ॥੨॥੧੦॥੩੩॥
Kaho Nānak mai sahj gẖar pāiā har bẖagaṯ bẖandār kẖajīnā. ||2||10||33||
(Mai) I have (paaiaa) attained (ghar-u) the state of (sahaj) poise with (bhandda) storehouses full of (khajeena) the treasure of (bhagat-i) devotion, i.e. emulation of Divine virtues and obedience to Divine commands, says fifth Nanak. 2. 10. 13.
