ਜਪਿਓ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੁਕ ਜਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ॥ ਦਾਲਦੁ ਭੰਜਿ ਸੁਦਾਮੇ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਭਗਤੀ ਭਾਇ ਤਰੇ ॥ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਤਾਰਥੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ॥੧॥

Japi▫o nām suk janak gur bacẖnī har har saraṇ pare.  Ḏālaḏ bẖanj suḏāme mili▫o bẖagṯī bẖā▫e ṯare.  Bẖagaṯ vacẖẖal har nām kirṯārath gurmukẖ kirpā kare. ||1||

 

The sage (suk) Sukdev and the king Janak (japio) remembered, and lived by, (naam-u) virtues and commands of, and (parey) placed themselves (sarn-i = in sanctuary) in care and obedience of, the Almighty, (bachni = with words) as taught by (gur) the guru.

(Daalad/daaridr) misery/poverty of the devotee Sudaama (bhanj-i = destroyed) ended when he (miliaa) met – Krishna, metaphor for – the Almighty; all the above (tarey = swam/got across world-ocean) were emancipated because (bhagti) devotion was their (bhaaey) motive.

The Almighty (vachhal-u) loves (bhagat-i) devotion; those who live by (naam-u) virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty are (kritaarath-u) successful; the Almighty (kripa karey) is kind to those (gurmukh-i) who follow the guru’s teachings. 1.

 

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ ਧ੍ਰੂ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦੁ ਬਿਦਰੁ ਦਾਸੀ ਸੁਤੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਤਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Mere man nām japaṯ uḏẖre.  Ḏẖarū par▫hilāḏ biḏar ḏāsī suṯ gurmukẖ nām ṯare. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (meyrey) mind, those who (japat) remember and live by (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands (udhrey) are emancipated – from vices in life and rebirth on death.

The devotees Dhru, Prahilaad, and Bidar (sut-u) the son of (daasi) a maidservant (tarey = swam) got across the world-ocean, i.e. were emancipated by (gurmukh-i) following the guru’s teachings to live (naam-i) by Divine virtues and commands. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਕਲਜੁਗਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਭਗਤ ਜਨਾ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ ਨਾਮਾ ਜੈਦੇਉ ਕਬੀਰੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਲੋਚਨੁ ਸਭਿ ਦੋਖ ਗਏ ਚਮਰੇ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਗੇ ਸੇ ਉਧਰੇ ਸਭਿ ਕਿਲਬਿਖ ਪਾਪ ਟਰੇ ॥੨॥

Kaljug nām parḏẖān paḏārath bẖagaṯ janā uḏẖre.  Nāmā jaiḏe▫o Kabīr Ŧrilocẖan sabẖ ḏokẖ ga▫e cẖamre.  Gurmukẖ nām lage se uḏẖre sabẖ kilbikẖ pāp tare. ||2||

 

(Kaljug-i) in the age of conflicts/duality, (bhagat = devoted, janaa = people) the devotees (udhrey) are saved through Naam, (pradhaan-u = head) the supreme (padaarath-u = substance) resource.

The devotees, (nama) Namdev, Jaideo/Jaidev, Kabir, Trilochan and (chamrey = cobbler) Ravidas; (sabh-i) all their (dokh = faults) shortcomings (gaey = went) left them because of practice of Naam.

Those who (lagey) apply themselves to living (naam-i) by Naam, (sey) they (udhrey) are saved; as (sabh-i) all their (kilbikh, paap) transgressions (ttarey) are obviated. 2.

 

ਜੋ ਜੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੈ ਅਪਰਾਧੀ ਸਭਿ ਤਿਨ ਕੇ ਦੋਖ ਪਰਹਰੇ ॥ ਬੇਸੁਆ ਰਵਤ ਅਜਾਮਲੁ ਉਧਰਿਓ ਮੁਖਿ ਬੋਲੈ ਨਾਰਾਇਣੁ ਨਰਹਰੇ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਉਗ੍ਰਸੈਣਿ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਈ ਤੋੜਿ ਬੰਧਨ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਰੇ ॥੩॥

Jo jo nām japai aprāḏẖī sabẖ ṯin ke ḏokẖ parhare.  Besu▫ā ravaṯ ajāmal uḏẖāri▫o mukẖ bolai nārā▫iṇ narhare.  Nām japaṯ ugarsaiṇ gaṯ pā▫ī ṯoṛ banḏẖan mukaṯ kare. ||3||

 

(Jo jo) all those (apraadhi = wrongdoers) who are given to committing transgressions, (sabh-i) all (tin key) their (dokh) faults (parharey = kept away) are obviated if they – learn from the guru and as taught by him – (japai = remember) comply with (naam-u) instructions of the Almighty to the soul.

Ajaamal who was (ravat) involved with (beysuaa) a prostitute (udhrio) was saved (bolai) by uttering the name of (naaraain narharey) the Almighty.

ਜਨ ਕਉ ਆਪਿ ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਕੀਆ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਗੀਕਾਰੁ ਕਰੇ ॥ ਸੇਵਕ ਪੈਜ ਰਖੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਗੋਵਿਦੁ ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ
ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰੀ ਉਰ ਧਰਿਓ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰੇ ॥੪॥੧॥

Jan ka▫o āp anūgrahu kī▫ā har angīkār kare.  Sevak paij rakẖai merā goviḏ saraṇ pare uḏẖre.  Jan Nānak har kirpā ḏẖārī ur ḏẖari▫o nām hare. ||4||1||

 

(Har-i) the Almighty (keeaa = done) has always been (anugrahu) kind (kau) to (jan = servants) the devotees and (angeekaar-u karey) takes their side in fight with evil.

(Govind/govind = master of the world) the Almighty (rakhai) preserves (paij) honour of (seyvak = servant) the devotees; whosoever (parey) places the self in IT’s (saran-i) care and obedience, (udhrey) is emancipated.

But only those to whom (har-i) the Almighty (dhaari = bestows, kirpa = mercy) is kind, that person (dhario) keeps Naam of (harey) the Almighty in mind, says humble fourth Nanak. 4. 1.

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਤਰਿਆ ॥ ਧੰਨਾ ਜਟੁ ਬਾਲਮੀਕੁ ਬਟਵਾਰਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Mere man nām japaṯ ṯari▫ā.  Ḏẖannā jat bālmīk batvārā gurmukẖ pār pa▫i▫ā. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

(Meyrey) my (man) mind, one who (japat) remembers and practices (naam) Divine virtues and commands (tariaa = swims) gets across the word ocean – to the Almighty.

Shankar/Mahesh, (brhmai) Brahma and (deyvi) the goddess (japio) remember/owe allegiance to the Master; they ever (japiaa) remember Naam/commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty (mukh-i) by mouth – and act on them.

All (jinaa) whose (man) mind is (bheenaa = rinsed) imbued with love of the Almighty, (t-e) those (gurmukh-i) followers of the guru (paar-i paiaa) get across the world-ocean. 2.

 

ਕੋਟਿ ਕੋਟਿ ਤੇਤੀਸ ਧਿਆਇਓ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਤਿਆ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਣ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿਆ ਮੁਖਿ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਇਆ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਸਾਲੁ ਜਿਨਾ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਤੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੩॥

(Teytees) thirty three (kott-i) crore – gods of Hindu faith – (dhiaaiaa) invoke the Almighty (kott-i) crore of times, but do not (paaiaa) find (ant-u) the expanse/virtues and powers of (har-i) the Almighty.

ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਘਰੁ ੩                    ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Mārū mėhlā 4 gẖar 3  Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

 

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Maaroo, (ghar-u 3) to be sung to the third beat.   Invoking the one all-pervasive Creator who may be known with the true guru’s grace/guidance.

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਲੈ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਤਿ ਪਾਇ ॥ ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਲਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਤੇ ਲਏ ਛਡਾਇ ॥ ਜਿਥੈ ਅਵਘਟ ਗਲੀਆ ਭੀੜੀਆ ਤਿਥੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਰਾਇ ॥੧॥

Har har nām niḏẖān lai gurmaṯ har paṯ pā▫e.  Halaṯ palaṯ nāl cẖalḏā har anṯe la▫e cẖẖadā▫e.  Jithai avgẖat galī▫ā bẖīṛī▫ā ṯithai har har mukaṯ karā▫e. ||1||

 

Awareness of (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = makes green) rejuvenating (naam-u) virtues and commands of the Almighty is (nidhaan-u = treasure) the resource to find God; one who (lai) obtains that awareness from the guru, (paaey) finds (har-i) the Almighty (pat-i/patee) Master.

Naam (chalda = walks, naal-i = with) accompanies the soul (halat-i) in here and (palat-i) in the hereafter; it (laey chhaddaaey) delivers (antey = at last moment) when account of deeds is taken,

(jithai) where (galeeaa = streets) the space is (avghatt) difficult and (bheerreeaa) narrow – with no escape route, i.e. one cannot escape Divine justice; (tithai) there (har-i har-i) the Almighty (karaaey) gets one, who has lived by Naam, (mukat-i) freed, i.e. the agent of Divine justice cannot lay hands on one who lives by Naam. 1.

 

ਮੇਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਾ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇ ॥ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੁਤ ਬੰਧਪੋ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਮਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Mere saṯigurā mai har har nām driṛ▫ā▫e.  Merā māṯ piṯā suṯ banḏẖpo mai har bin avar na mā▫e. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (meyey) my (satguraa) true guru, please (drirraaey) create firm commitment, for (har-i har-i) the purifying and rejuvenating virtues of the Almighty, in my mind.

The Almighty is (meyra) my (maat = mother, pitaa = father) parents, (sut = son) children and (bandhapo) relatives, i.e. is ever close to me to help; (mai) I do not look to (avar-u) another (bin-u) except (har-i) the Almighty, o my (maaey) mother/teacher – guru. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਰਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਕੋਈ ਆਣਿ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ਮਾਇ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਗੈ ਮੈ ਜੋਦੜੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮੁ ਦੇਇ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ

Mai har birhī har nām hai ko▫ī āṇ milāvai mā▫e.  Ŧis āgai mai joḏ▫ṛī merā parīṯam ḏe▫e milā▫e.  Saṯgur purakẖ ḏa▫i▫āl parabẖ har mele dẖil na pā▫e. ||2||

 

(Mai) my (birhaee = dear) longing is for (har-i) the Almighty, – which is fulfilled through awareness of – (naam-u) virtues and commands of the Almighty; only if (koee) someone can (aan-i) come and (milaavai = cause to meet) make me aware of Naam.

I shall make (joddrri) supplication (aagai = before) to him/her, to (dey-i = cause, milaaey = to meet) lead me to (meyra) my (preetam-u) beloved Almighty Master.

When (purakh-u = person, satigur-u = true guru) the true guru is (daiaal) kind, he (meyley) unites with (har-i) Almighty (prabh-u) Master (na paaey = does not make, ddhil = delay) in no time. 2.  

 

ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਓਇ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੋਨਿ ਭਵਾਈਅਹਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਓਇ ਜਮ ਦਰਿ ਬਧੇ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੩॥

Jin har har nām na cẖeṯi▫o se bẖāghīṇ mar jā▫e.  O▫e fir fir jon bẖavā▫ī▫ah mar jamėh āvai jā▫e.  O▫e jam ḏar baḏẖe mārī▫ah har ḏargėh milai sajā▫e. ||3||

 

Those (jin) who – do not follow the guru, they do not (cheytio) keep in mind to act by – (naam-u) virtues and commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty; (sey) they are (bhaagheen) unfortunate (mar-i jaaey = die) to keep succumbing to vices.

(Oey) they are (bhavaaeeah-i = caused to go round) put in (jon-i) the womb (phir-i phir-i) again and again; they (mar-i) die to (jammah-i) be reborn, (aavai) coming to, and (jaaey) going from, the world.

(Oey) they are (badhey = bound) detained (dar-i = at the place of, jam = Divine justice) by Divine justice and (mareeah-i = hit) pushed away from the Almighty, and (milai) receive (sajaaey) punishment of rebirth (dargah) at the court of (har-i) the Almighty. 3.

 

ਤੂ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਹਮ ਸਰਣਾਗਤੀ ਮੋ ਕਉ ਮੇਲਿ ਲੈਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਧਾਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਜਗਜੀਵਨਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਾਇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲਾਇ ॥੪॥੧॥੩॥

Ŧū parabẖ ham sarṇāgaṯī mo ka▫o mel laihu har rā▫e.  Har ḏẖār kirpā jagjīvanā gur saṯgur kī sarṇā▫e.  Har jī▫o āp ḏa▫i▫āl ho▫e jan Nānak har melā▫e. ||4||1||3||

 

I (sarnaagti) place myself in care of (too) You, the (prabh-u) Master; please (meyli leyhu) unite (mo kau) me with You, o (raaey = king) Sovereign (har-i) Almighty Master.

O (har-i) Almighty (jagjeevna = life of the world) Creator, please (dhaar-i kripa) be kind to lead me to (sarnaaey) care/guidance of (gur) the great (satigur) true guru.

Ultimately it is when You, (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (hoey) are (aap-i = self) Your-self (daiaal-u = compassionate) kind, that IT (meylaaey) unites with IT-self, says (jan) humble fourth Nanak. 4. 1. 3.

(Hau) I am ready (khan khaneeai = be cut into pieces) to do anything at his/her bidding, if s/he (meyley = causes to meet) leads me to be (paas-i) with (har-i) the Almighty (prabh) Master.

(Poorai) the perfect (gur) guru has (drirraaiaa) created firm commitment to Naam of in me; one who has Naam, the Almighty gives him/her (dheerak/dheeraj) solace and (saabaas-i) glory. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ਗੁਰੁ ਮੈ ਦਸੇ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਰਾਸਿ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰੇਮੁ ਨ ਲਭਈ ਜਨ ਵੇਖਹੁ ਮਨਿ ਨਿਰਜਾਸਿ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਪੁ ਰਖਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਬਾਸਿ ॥੨॥

(Preym-u = love) the Beloved cannot (labhaee) be found (bin-u) except with guidance of the guru; O (jan = servants) seekers, reflect (man-i) in mind and you will (nirjaas-i = decide) understand.

(Har-i) the Almighty (rakhiaa) has kept (aap-u) IT-self (vich-i) in the guru; (saabaas-i) glory to the guru who (meyley) enables to find the Almighty. 2.

 

ਸਾਗਰ ਭਗਤਿ ਭੰਡਾਰ ਹਰਿ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਤੁਠਾ ਖੋਲਿ ਦੇਇ ਮੁਖਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਰਗਾਸਿ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਭਾਗ ਵਿਹੂਣਿਆ ਤਿਖ ਮੁਈਆ ਕੰਧੀ ਪਾਸਿ ॥੩॥

(Saagar = ocean/large) great (bhanddaar = stocks) treasures (bhagat-i) of devotion for (har-i) the Almighty are available (paas-i) with (poorey) the perfect (satigur) true guru.

O (suaami) Master, (jah) wherever You (baisaalah-i = cause to sit) place me, I (baisaa) sit (tah) there; wherever You (bheyjah-i) send me, I (jaava) go there – I am happy to submit to Your will. 

There is (eyko) only one (raaja) king (mah-i) in (sabh) all (nagri) towns, and (sabhey) all (thaava) places (hah-i) are (pavit-u) sacred, i.e. the Almighty’s writ runs everywhere, and they are all sanctified by IT’s presence. 1.

 

ਬਾਬਾ ਦੇਹਿ ਵਸਾ ਸਚ ਗਾਵਾ ॥ ਜਾ ਤੇ ਸਹਜੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Bābā ḏėh vasā sacẖ gāvā.  Jā ṯe sėhje sahj samāvā. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (baaba = father, dear) Almighty, (deyh-i = cause to, vasaa = abide) keep me such that I (gaava = sing) praise and practice virtues and commands of You, (sach) the Eternal,

(tey) by (ja) which I (sahjey) naturally (samaava = absorbed) remain (sahj-i) in state of poise – in obedience to You. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਬੁਰਾ ਭਲਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪਸ ਤੇ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਏਈ ਸਗਲ ਵਿਕਾਰਾ ॥ ਇਹੁ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਆ ਖਸਮ ਕਾ ਹੋਆ ਵਰਤੈ ਇਹੁ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥੨॥

Burā bẖalā kicẖẖ āpas ṯe jāni▫ā e▫ī sagal vikārā.  Ih furmā▫i▫ā kẖasam kā ho▫ā varṯai ih sansārā. ||2||

 

Anyone believing that (jaaniaa = knowing) s/he knows (tey) by (aapas) the self, if (kichh-u) something is (bura) bad/wrong or (bhalaa) good/right; (eyee) this is the root cause of (sagal) all (vikaara) vices.

But (ih-u) this (hoaa) happens with (phurmaaiaa = order) the will (ka) of (khasam) the Master, and (vartai = happens) applies to everyone in (ih-u) this (sansaara) world – this is the nature given to all mankind by the Creator. 2.

ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਧਾਤੁ ਸਬਲ ਕਹੀਅਤ ਹੈ ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਕਿਸ ਤੇ ਹੋਈ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਖੇਲ ਕਰੈ ਸਭਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਐਸਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਈ ॥੩॥

Inḏrī ḏẖāṯ sabal kahī▫aṯ hai inḏrī kis ṯe ho▫ī.  Āpe kẖel karai sabẖ karṯā aisā būjẖai ko▫ī. ||3||

 

(Indri) sensory organs (hai) are (kaheet) said to create (sabal) powerful (dhaat-u) sensual desires, but (tey) by (kis) whom have (indri) the sensory organs (hoee = happened) been created?, i.e. the Creator IT-self has created sensual desires.

(Karta) the Creator (karai) creates (sabh-i) all (kheyl = plays) phenomena; (koee) some rare person (boojhai) understands (aisa) this way. 3.

 

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਏਕ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਤਦੇ ਬਿਨਾਸੀ ॥ ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਣਾ ਸੋ ਸਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਨਿਆ ਕਾਟੀ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਫਾਸੀ ॥੪॥

Gur parsādī ek liv lāgī ḏubiḏẖā ṯaḏe bināsī.  Jo ṯis bẖāṇā so saṯ kar māni▫ā kātī jam kī fāsī. ||4||

 

(Dubidha) duality is (binaasi = destroyed) given up (tadey) only then, when one’s (liv) attenton is (laagi) fixed on obeying commands of (eyka) the One Master (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of (gur) the guru .

Then one (maaniaa) accepts (bhaana) the will of (tis-u = that) the Almighty as (sat = true) inevitable (jo) whatever it may be, i.e. happily lives by Divine will; this is how (phaasi) the noose of (jam) the agent of Divine justice (kaatti = cut) obviated. 4.

 

ਭਣਤਿ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਲੇਖਾ ਮਾਗੈ ਕਵਨਾ ਜਾ ਚੂਕਾ ਮਨਿ ਅਭਿਮਾਨਾ ॥ ਤਾਸੁ ਤਾਸੁ ਧਰਮ ਰਾਇ ਜਪਤੁ ਹੈ ਪਏ ਸਚੇ ਕੀ ਸਰਨਾ ॥੫॥੧॥

Bẖaṇaṯ Nānak lekẖā māgai kavnā jā cẖūkā man abẖimānā.  Ŧās ṯās ḏẖaram rā▫e japaṯ hai pa▫e sacẖe kī sarnā. ||5||1||

 

(Bhanat-i) says third Nanak: (Kavna = who?) no one (maagai) asks (leykha) account of one’s deeds (ja) when (abhimaana) pride (man-i) in the mind (chooka) ends, i.e. when one does not act by self-will but submits to Divine commands.

(Dharam raaey) the Divine court presenter (paey) places the self in, i.e. seeks, (sarna) protection (ki) of (sachey) the Eternal (japat-u) repeating (taas-u/traah traas-u/traah) fearful entreaties for protection from Divine punishment for asking the account of deeds from the God’s obedient servant. 5. 1.

ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣਾ ਨਾ ਥੀਐ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਸਚੁ ਖਜਾਨਾ ਬਖਸਿਆ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Āvaṇ jāṇā nā thī▫ai nij gẖar vāsā ho▫e.  Sacẖ kẖajānā bakẖsi▫ā āpe jāṇai so▫e. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raag Maaroo. (Aavan = coming) births and (jaana = going) deaths do not (theeai) happen, and the soul (vaasaa) staying in (nij) own (ghar-i) house (hoey) happens, i.e. the soul merges with the Creator where it came from and belongs to reincarnate no more.

This happens when (sach-u = true, khajaana = treasure) awareness of Divine virtues and commands is (bakhsiaa) graciously given by (soey = that) the Almighty, who (jaanai) knows whom to give. 1.

(Eey) o (man = mind) human being, (too) you should (cheyt-i) remember (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty, i.e. what the Creator told you before birth – and (taj-i) give up (vikaar) vices – evil thoughts – (manhu) from the mind.

(Dhiaaey) pay attention to virtues of the Almighty (sabad-i = with word) with guidance (kai) of (gur) the guru; and (too) you will (lagee) develop (piaar-u = love) obedience (sach-i) to the Eternal. 1.

Aithai nāvhu bẖuli▫ā fir hath kithā▫ū na pā▫e.  Jonī sabẖ bẖavā▫ī▫an bistā māhi samā▫e. ||2||

 

Those who (bhuliaa) are forgetful (naavhu) of Naam – the instructions given by the Creator to the soul – (aithai = here) in human birth, will not be able to (paaey) put (hath-u) the hand, i.e. remember and live by Naam (kithaaoo = anywhere else) in any other life form.

The soul will (bhavaaeean-i = caused to go round) wander in (sabh-i) all (joni) life forms (samaaey = merge) remaining (bistta = excreta) in the demeaning state of cycles of births and deaths again and again

(Gur-u) the guru (paaiaa) is found (vaddbhaagi) by good fortune based on (likhiaa = writing, poorab-i = from past) past deeds.

(Sachaa) the Eternal (laey milaaey) unites with IT-self those, who (andin-u = everyday) ever (kar-i = perform) engage in (sachi) true (bhagat-i) devotion, i.e. live by Naam or Divine virtues and commands, with the guru’s guidance. 3.

(Aapey = self) the Creator (saajeean-i) created (sabh) all (sristt-i) universes and (karey-i = does) bestows (nadar-i = sight of grace) grace (aapey) IT-self, as IT sees fit.

There are (vaddiaaeeaa) glories in living (naam-i) by Naam; the Almighty (dey-i) gives these to (tai) those with (jai) whom IT is (bhaavai) pleased with, says third Nanak. 4. 2.

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. O my (jeeo) revered guru, please guide me to have my (pichhley) past (gunah = sins) transgressions (bakhsaaey) forgiven, and (ab) now (too) you please (paaey) put me (maarag-i = on the way) on the right path.

May I (gavaaey = lose) give up the sense of (aap-u = self) self-importance (vichahu) from within and (rahaa) remain (laag-i) attached (charni) to the feet, i.e. submit to commands of (har-i) the Almighty Creator – given to the soul. 1.

O (meyrey) my (man) mind, (dhiaaey) pay attention to (naam-u) virtues and commands of the Almighty (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance.

And pray that I (laag-i rahaa = remain attached, charni = to feet) ever obey commands of the Almighty with (ik) single (man-i = of mind) minded devotion and (eykai) single (bhaaey) love. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਨਾ ਮੈ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਪਤਿ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਮੈ ਥੇਹੁ ਨ ਥਾਉ ॥ ਸਬਦਿ ਭੇਦਿ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਕਟਿਆ ਗੁਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਆ ਸਮਝਾਇ ॥੨॥

Nā mai jāṯ na paṯ hai nā mai thehu na thā▫o.  Sabaḏ bẖeḏ bẖaram kati▫ā gur nām ḏī▫ā samjẖā▫e. ||2||

 

(Mai) I neither have (jaat-i = caste) high caste nor (pat-i = honor) status in the society and I have neither (theyhu) a place I own nor (thaau) a place to go to.

(Gur-i) the guru (deeaa = caused to, samjhaaey = understand) gave me understanding of Naam – emulation of Divine virtues and obedience of Divine commands; my mind has been (bheyd-i = pierced) deeply influenced (sabad-i) with teachings of the guru and (bhram-u) delusion – about the Almighty being present with me – (kattiaa = cut) removed. 2.

(Ihu) this (man-u = mind) human being (karda phirai = keeps doing) remains engrossed in (laalach) aggrandizement and (jaaey) departs (laaga = engaged) engrossed (laalach-i) in aggrandizement – craving for transitory pleasures and thus remaining oblivious of the Almighty.

One who (viaapiaa) remains engrossed in (koorr-i = false, dhandhai = pursuits) pursuit of transitory satisfaction forgetting Divine commands, is (pur-i = in town of) detained by (jam) agent of Divine justice, and (khaaey) receives (chotta = hits) punishment. 3.

(Aap-u = self) the Almighty (aapey) IT-self is, i.e. is present in (sabh kichh-u) everything; we should see (naahi koey = not any) none (dooja = second) other, says third Nanak.

IT (bakhsion-u) blesses (gurmukha) those who follow the guru with (kjajaana = treasure) awareness and (bhagat-i = of devotion) practice of Naam or Divine virtues and commands; and they (hoey) experience (sukh-u) peace. 4. 3.

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Sacẖ raṯe se tol lahu se virle sansār.  Ŧin mili▫ā mukẖ ujlā jap nām murār. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. One can (ttol-i lahu) search for (sey) those (ratey) imbued (sach-i = with truth) with love/obedience of the Eternal; (sey) they are (virley) rare (sansaar-i) in the world.

(Miliaa = by meeting, tin = them) in their company, one (jap-i) remembers and obeys (muraar-i = killer of the demon Mur – metaphor for) the Almighty – committing no transgressions -, and has (ujla) a clean (mukh-u) face, i.e. no faults are found with him/her in Divine court. 1.

O (baaba) revered dear, (samaal-i = take care of, ridai = in mind) ever remember commands of (saachaa) the Eternal (sahib-u) Master.

You can (puchh-i) ask (apna = own) the guru and (deykh-u lahu) see for yourself; he would ask you to (bhaal-i) search for this (vakhar-u = merchandise) treasure – Divine commands – within. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਇਕੁ ਸਚਾ ਸਭ ਸੇਵਦੀ ਧੁਰਿ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਿਲੇ ਸੇ ਨ ਵਿਛੁੜਹਿ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਸਚੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੨॥

Ik sacẖā sabẖ sevḏī ḏẖur bẖāg milāvā ho▫e.  Gurmukẖ mile se na vicẖẖuṛėh pāvahi sacẖ so▫e. ||2||

 

There is only (ik-u) One (sachaa) Eternal Master, (sabh) all soul-wives (seyvdi = serve) wish to unite with, but (milaava) union (hoey = happens) is achieved (bhag-i) by destiny given (dhur-i = from the source) by the Creator – based on past deeds.

Those who (miley) find the Almighty (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance, (sey) they are not (vichhurrey) separated; they (paavah-i) find (soey = that one) the One (sach-u) Eternal Almighty-husband and remain committed to IT. 2.

 

ਇਕਿ ਭਗਤੀ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇ ॥ ਓਨਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਕਰਣਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੩॥

Ik bẖagṯī sār na jāṇnī manmukẖ bẖaram bẖulā▫e.  Onā vicẖ āp varaṯḏā karṇā kicẖẖū na jā▫e. ||3||

 

(Ik-i = one type) some people do not (jaanani) know (saar = awareness) what is (bhagti) devotion and (bhulaaey) are led astray (bharam-i) in delusion, i.e. forget commands of the Almighty, and engage in rituals etc.

(Aap-i = self) the Almighty (vartdaa) is present (vich-i) in (onaa) them – and directs from within; (kichhoo na) nothing (jaaey) can be (karna) done by anything about them, i.e. we should look within and not try to find faults with others. 3.

 

ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਲਿ ਜੋਰੁ ਨ ਚਲਈ ਖਲੇ ਕੀਚੈ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਸੁਣਿ ਕਰੇ ਸਾਬਾਸਿ ॥੪॥੪॥

Jis nāl jor na cẖal▫ī kẖale kīcẖai arḏās.  Nānak gurmukẖ nām man vasai ṯā suṇ kare sābās. ||4||4||

 

Therefore we should (khaley) stand, i.e. humbly, (keechai) make (ardaas) supplication before the Almighty (naal-i) with (jis-u) whom (jor-u) force (na chalaee) does not work, i.e. we cannot make the Almighty do what we want – only pray.

(Naam-u) virtues and commands of the Almighty (vasai) abide (man-i) in the mind of (gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru; so if a Gurmukh makes the supplication (ta) then IT (sun-i) listens (karey = does, sabaas-i = praise) blesses him/her, says third Nanak. 4. 4.

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. Awareness of Naam or virtues and commands of the Almighty (karey) makes the mind to (seetal-u) a cool (tey) from (maaroo = desert) a state of restless-ness; it (hoey) becomes (kanchan-u = gold) virtuous (manoorhu = from waste iron) from a virtue-less one.

We should (saalaaheeai) praise (so = that) the (saacha) Eternal; there is (na koey) none (avar-u) other (jeyvadd-u) as great (tis-u = that) IT. 1.

O (meyrey) my (man) mind, (andin-u = everyday) ever (dhiaaey) pay attention to (naau/naam) emulating virtues and obeying commands of (har-i) the Almighty.

(Too) you should (araadh) invoke the Almighty (bachan-i = through words, kai = of) as taught by (satigur) the true guru and (andin-u) ever (gaau = sing) praise and emulate (gun) Divine virtues. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this. 

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਜਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਦੇਇ ਬੁਝਾਇ ॥ ਸੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਲਾਹੀਐ ਜਿਦੂ ਏਹ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਇ ॥੨॥

Gurmukẖ eko jāṇī▫ai jā saṯgur ḏe▫e bujẖā▫e.  So saṯgur salāhī▫ai jiḏū eh sojẖī pā▫e. ||2||

 

It is (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance that we (jaaneeai = know) become aware of (eyko) the One Almighty, but only (ja) when we find (satigur-u) the true and when he is pleased to (dey-i = give) impart (bujhaaey = cause to understand) awareness of Naam or Divine virtues and commands. 2.

We should (saalaaheeai) praise and follow (so = that) the (satigur-u) true guru (jidoo) from whom we (paaey) obtain (eyh) this (sojhi) awareness. 2.

 

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਲਗੇ ਕਿਆ ਕਰਨਿ ਅਗੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਜਮ ਪੁਰਿ ਬਧੇ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਬਹੁਤੀ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੩॥

Saṯgur cẖẖod ḏūjai lage ki▫ā karan agai jā▫e.  Jam pur baḏẖe mārī▫ah bahuṯī milai sajā▫e. ||3||

 

Those who (chhodd-i) forsake (satiguru-u) the true guru and (lagey = attach) follow (doojai) another; they go astray (kiaa = what?) will not be able to (karan-i = do) account for their wrongdoings (jaaey = going, agai = ahead) in the hereafter when account of deeds is taken.

Such souls are (badhey = bound) taken to (pur-i) town of, become subject to jurisdiction of (jam) the agent of Divine justice and (maarreeah-i = hit) beaten; they (milai) receive (bahuti = much) harsh (sajaaey) punishment – of being put in cycles of births and deaths. 3.

(Prabh-u) the Master (meyra = my) of all (hai) is (veyparvaahu = carefree) the highest authority; (tis-u = that) IT has not (til-u = sesame seed) even a bit of (tamaaey) greed, i.e. IT gives expecting nothing in return.

(Bhaj-i = run) do not delay to (pau) place yourself in (tis-u = that) IT’s (sarnaaee = sanctuary) care and obedience, i.e. start living by Naam now and not commit transgressions; the Almighty, will (bakhas-i) bestow grace to (milaaey) unite you (aapey) with IT-self, says third Nanak. 4. 5.
