ਗਉੜੀ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੂਆ ਖਿਨੁ ਨ ਟਿਕੈ ਬਹੁ ਰੰਗੀ ਦਹ ਦਹ ਦਿਸਿ ਚਲਿ ਚਲਿ ਹਾਢੇ ॥ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਦੀਆ ਮਨੁ ਠਾਢੇ ॥੧॥

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri, Raagini Poorbi. (Ih-u) this human mind keeps (chal-i chal-i) keeps moving (haaddhey) wandering (dah dah) in ten (dis-i) directions, in (bah-u) numerous (rangi = love) ideas, and does not (ttikai) remain steady even for (khin-u) a moment.

(Vaddbhaai) fortunately I (paaiaa) found (poora) the perfect (guru-u) guru who (deeaa) gave me (mantr) instruction to obey commands of (har-i) the Almighty, and (man-u) the mind became (tthaaddhey = cool) steady. 1.

ਰਾਮ ਹਮ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਲਾਲੇ ਕਾਂਢੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Rām ham saṯgur lāle kāʼndẖe. ||1|| rahā▫o

O (raam) Almighty, (ham) I (kaanddhey) am known (laaley) slave of (satigur) the true guru, please enable that I follow the guru’s guidance. 1

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਹਮਰੈ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਦਾਗੁ ਦਗਾਨਾ ਹਮ ਕਰਜ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਹੁ ਸਾਢੇ ॥ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਬਹੁ ਕੀਆ ਭਉ ਦੁਤਰੁ ਤਾਰਿ ਪਰਾਢੇ ॥੨॥

The guru (lagaana) marked (daag) sign on (hamrai) my (mastak-i) forehead – of the guru’s follower which enables to attain union with the Almighty, I (saaddhey) owe (bah-u) heavy (karaj) debt to the guru. The guru (keeaa) did (bah-u) great (punn-u) benevolent action, to enable (taar-i) ferry across (dutar-u) the hard-to-cross (bhau/bhav) world ocean of vices and (praaddhey) land on far shore – to unite with the Almighty. 2.

ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਰਿਦੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਤਿਨ ਕੂਰੇ ਗਾਢਨ ਗਾਢੇ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਪਾਣੀ ਕਾਗਦੁ ਬਿਨਸਿ ਜਾਤ ਹੈ ਤਿਉ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਗਰਭਿ ਗਲਾਢੇ ॥੩॥

Those who do not have (preet-i) love (ridai) in the heart for (har-i) the Almighty, (tin) they (gaadhey) show (koorrey) false (gaaddhan) tie up, i.e. are impostors.

Such (manmukh) self-willed persons (glaaddhey = rot) suffer being in (garab-i) in the womb again and again, (jiau) like (kagad-u) paper (binas-I jaat) perishes in (paani) water. 3.

ਹਮ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਨਹ ਆਗੈ ਜਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖੈ ਤਿਉ ਠਾਢੇ ॥ ਹਮ ਭੂਲ ਚੂਕ ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰਹੁ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੁਤਰੇ ਕਾਢੇ ॥੪॥੭॥੨੧॥੫੯॥

We neither (jaaniaa) know (kachhoo na) nothing nor shall ever (jaanah-i) know what lies (aagai) ahead; we (tthaadhey = stand) accept (tiau) that way (jiau) as (har-i) the Almighty (raakhai) keeps, i.e. have to accept Divine will.

We commit acts of (bhool) commission and (chook) omission, please (dhaarh-u) bestow (kirpa) kindness to enable to follow the guru, and forgive; we are (kaaddhey) known as Your (kutrey) dogs, i.e. dependent on You, says (jan) humble fourth Nanak. 4. 7. 21. 59.
