Rām ha▫o ki▫ā jānā ki▫ā bẖāvai. Man pi▫ās bahuṯ ḏarsāvai. ||1|| rahā▫o.

ਸੋਈ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਊਪਰਿ ਰੁਚ ਆਵੈ ॥ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਜਿਸੁ ਪੁਰਖ ਬਿਧਾਤੇ ਸੋ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਤੁਧੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥੧॥

One on (jis-u) whom You (karhu) bestow (kripa) kindness, o (purakh) all-pervasive (bidhaatey) Creator, (so) that person (sadaa sadaa) for ever (dhiaavai) invokes (tudh-u) You, i.e. pays attention to Your virtues and commands, as guide for life. 1.

Kavan jog kavan gi▫ān ḏẖi▫ānā kavan gunī rījẖāvai. So▫ī jan so▫ī nij bẖagṯā jis ūpar rang lāvai. ||2||
(Kavan) what are those (jog) Yogic practices, (giaan) knowledge and (dhiaana) meditation and by (kavan) what (guni) virtues, is the Almighty (reejhaavai) pleased?
No one can know and practice the above on his/her own: (Soee) only that (jan-u = servant) person becomes a seeker and Your, (nij = personal) only Your, (bhagta) devotee (oopar-i) on whom You (laavai) create (rang-u) love for Your virtues and commands. 2.
ਸਾਈ ਮਤਿ ਸਾਈ ਬੁਧਿ ਸਿਆਨਪ ਜਿਤੁ ਨਿਮਖ ਨ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਬਿਸਰਾਵੈ ॥ ਸੰਤਸੰਗਿ ਲਗਿ ਏਹੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਓ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਗਾਵੈ ॥੩॥

ਦੇਖਿਓ ਅਚਰਜੁ ਮਹਾ ਮੰਗਲ ਰੂਪ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਨ ਨਹੀ ਦਿਸਟਾਵੈ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੋਰਚਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਲਾਹਿਓ ਤਹ ਗਰਭ ਜੋਨਿ ਕਹ ਆਵੈ ॥੪॥੧॥
Ḏekẖi▫o acẖraj mahā mangal rūp kicẖẖ ān nahī ḏistāvai. Kaho Nānak morcẖā gur lāhi▫o ṯah garabẖ jon kah āvai. ||4||1||
Then s/he (deykhio) sees (acharaj-u) the wondrous Almighty, (roop) the embodiment of (mahaa = great) sublime (mangal) joy, everywhere and not (disttavai) see (aan) anyone else.

ਮਹਾ ਬਿਖਮੁ ਅਗਨਿ ਕਾ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਤਿਸ ਤੇ ਪਾਰਿ ਉਤਾਰਿਓ ॥ ਪੇਖਿ ਪੇਖਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਗਸਾਨੋ ਪੁਨਹ ਪੁਨਹ ਬਲਿਹਾਰਿਓ ॥੨॥੩॥੪॥

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.
ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਆਪਨ ਕੀਤ ॥ ਸੰਗਿ ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਮਨੁ ਸੀਤ ॥ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਦੀਤ ॥੧॥
Ko▫ī virlā āpan kīṯ. Sang cẖaran kamal man sīṯ. Kar kirpā har jas ḏīṯ. ||1||
The Almighty (keet) makes (koee) some (virla) rare person (aapan) IT’s own, i.e. motivates to IT’s remembrance.
IT (seet= stitches) connects his/her (man-u) mind (sang-i) with IT’s (kamal) lotus (charan) feet, i.e. motivates to live by IT’s Naam or virtues and commands and (kar-i kirpa) kindly (deet = gives) imparts awareness of (jas-u = glory) virtues and emulate them. 1.
ਹਰਿ ਭਜਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਜੀਤ ॥ ਕੋਟਿ ਪਤਿਤ ਹੋਹਿ ਪੁਨੀਤ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਕੀਤ ॥੨॥੧॥੧੦॥੧੯॥
Har bẖaj janam paḏārath jīṯ. Kot paṯiṯ hohi punīṯ. Nānak ḏās bal bal kīṯ. ||2||1||10||19||
Such a person (bhaj-i) praises and obeys (har-i) the Almighty and (jeet) wins (padaarath) the gift of (janam-u) human birth, i.e. is successful in finding the Almighty within.
(Kott-i = crore/ten million) millions of those (patit) fallen to vices (hoh-i) are (puneet = purified) are saved from vices in his/her company.
(Daas = servant) humble fifth Nanak, (bal-i bal-i = sacrifice, keet = makes) adores such a person. 2. 1. 10. 19.
