O (paarbrahm) Supreme (suaami) Master, (too) You are (beyant) Infinite; (teyri) Your (gat-i) state – extent of virtues, powers and domain (na jaaey) cannot be (laakhi) known.

(Preet-i) love of living by Your (kamal = lotus, charan = feet) will has (beydhiaa) pierced (man-u) the mind, i.e. I am fascinated by Your presence – awareness of Naam – within; I (kar-i) consider this love (sarabas-u) everything – the supreme wealth, and (raakhi) I keep it (antar-i) within me – it sustains me in the world – of vices. 1.

 

ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਜਨ ਇਹ ਬਾਣੀ ਰਸਨਾ ਭਾਖੀ ॥ ਜਪਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਿਸਤਰੀਐ ਹੋਰੁ ਦੁਤੀਆ ਬਿਰਥੀ ਸਾਖੀ ॥੨॥੯੮॥੧੨੧॥

(Too) you do not (paavah-i) get to (ttikan-u) settle at (kitah-i) any (asthaan-i) place; I (deykhi) have seen this (bidh-i) method of your (aakhi) with eyes, i.e. i.e. common experience.

(Tai) you do not (chhaaddiaa) spare (koey) anyone (bin-u) except (santaa = saints) the devotees of the Almighty, i.e. God’s devotees do not succumb to temptations; (sant) the devotees (parey) place themselves (paakhi = by side) in care and obedience of (gobind = master of the world) the Almighty. 1.

 

ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਗਲੇ ਤੈ ਮੋਹੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਸੰਤਾ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਲਾਖੀ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਨਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਚੁ ਸਾਖੀ ॥੨॥੯੯॥੧੨੨॥

O temptations, (tai) you (mohey) charm (sagely) all (jee jant) creatures; (kina na = not any) no one (bin-u) except (santaa) the seekers (laakhi) knows/is conscious of you.

(Daas-u) servant/humble fifth Nanak, the devotee, is (raata) imbued (keertan-i) with praising virtues of (har-i) the Almighty – and emulating them; my (surat-i) consciousness is fixed on (sabad-u = word) Divine commands and (saakhi = witnesses) sees (sach-u) the Eternal within – so temptations do not affect me. 2. 99. 122.

The Almighty (dhaar-i) bestowed (anugrah) kindness/grace and (kar-i leeni) made you IT’s (apni) own – motivated you to live by Naam – giving (poor) complete (giaani) awareness of Naam (gurmukh-i) by following the guru.

You enjoy (sarab) all (sookh) comforts, i.e. all your aspirations are fulfilled, giving you (ghaeyrey) plentiful (aanand) bliss/joy; you are (dhiaani) focused on obtaining (daras) vision of (tthaakur) the Master – and do not look elsewhere. 1.

 

ਨਿਕਟਿ ਵਰਤਨਿ ਸਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਹਾਗਨਿ ਦਹ ਦਿਸ ਸਾਈ ਜਾਨੀ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਰੰਗ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਤੀ ਨਾਰਾਇਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੁ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ॥੨॥੧੦੪॥ ੧੨੭॥

Nikat varṯan sā saḏā suhāgan ḏah ḏis sā▫ī jānī. Pari▫a rang rang raṯī nārā▫in Nānak ṯis kurbānī. ||2||104||127||

 

(Saa) such a soul-wife is (suhaagan-i) fortunate to (sadaa) ever (vartan-i = be present) live (nikatt-i = near) with the Almighty-husband; (saai = that) s/he is (jaani = known) recognized (dah = ten, dis = directions) everywhere.

S/he is (rati) imbued (rang-i) with love of (pria) the Beloved (naaraain) Almighty-husband; I (kurbani = am sacrifice) adore (tis-u) that human soul, says fifth Nanak. 2. 104. 127.

ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਤੁਅ ਚਰਨ ਆਸਰੋ ਈਸ ॥ ਤੁਮਹਿ ਪਛਾਨੂ ਸਾਕੁ ਤੁਮਹਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਰਾਖਨਹਾਰ ਤੁਮੈ ਜਗਦੀਸ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Sārag mėhlā 5.  Ŧu▫a cẖaran āsro īs.  Ŧumėh pacẖẖānū sāk ṯumėh sang rākẖanhār ṯumai jagḏīs. Rahā▫o.

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. O (ees) Almighty Master, I have placed (aasro) reliance on (tua) Your (charan) feet, i.e. I am at peace being in Your care and obedience.

(Tumah-i) You are my (pachhaanoo) acquaintance, I have (saak) relation (tumah-i) only with You; (tumai) You are my (raakhanhaar) protector – You are everything for me -, o (jagdees = master of the world) Almighty. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਤੂ ਹਮਰੋ ਹਮ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਕਹੀਐ ਇਤ ਉਤ ਤੁਮ ਹੀ ਰਾਖੇ ॥ ਤੂ ਬੇਅੰਤੁ ਅਪਰੰਪਰੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕੋਈ ਲਾਖੈ ॥੧॥

Ŧū hamro ham ṯumre kahī▫ai iṯ uṯ ṯum hī rākẖe. Ŧū be▫anṯ aprampar su▫āmī gur kirpā ko▫ī lākẖai. ||1||

 

(Too) you are (hamro) my Master and (ham) I am (kaheeai = called) known as (tumrey) Your servant; (tum) You (hi) alone (raakhey) protect (it) here and (ut) there – everywhere.

(Too) You are (beyant) the Infinite (suaami) Master (aprampar) with no limits; (koee) some rare person (laakhey) understands about You with (kirpa = kindness) kind guidance of (gur) the guru. 1.

 

ਬਿਨੁ ਬਕਨੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਹਨ ਕਹਾਵਨ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਜਾਨੈ ॥ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਮੇਲਿ ਲਏ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਾਨੇ ॥੨॥੧੦੫॥੧੨੮॥

Bin bakne bin kahan kahāvan anṯarjāmī jānai. Jā ka▫o mel la▫e parabẖ Nānak se jan ḏargėh māne. ||2||105||128||

 

Being present within, the Almighty (antarjaami) knows all minds and (jaanai) knows everything (bin-u) without anyone (bakney) saying or (kahan) saying when (kahaavan = caused to say) asked, i.e. without asking anyone.

One (kau = to, ja = who) whom (prabh-u) the Almighty (meyl-i laey) unites with IT-self, i.e. keeps in IT’s remembrance and obedience, (sey) that (jan) person (maaney) is approved (dargah) in Divine court – for union with God, says fifth Nanak. 2. 105. 128.
