Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Aasa. O Almighty, You are (agam) beyond reach/comprehension and (agochar) not experienced by the sensory organs; but one (jis-u) whose (mastak-i) forehead has (bhaag-u) the good fortune written on it, i.e. one who is so destined, (so) that person (paaey) obtains (daras-u) vision of You within.
This happens when You (kripaal-i) the kind (prabh-i) Almighty (dhaari) bestow (kripa) kindness and enable to find (satigur-i) the true guru who (bakhsiaa = graciously gives) imparts awareness of (har-i naam-u) Divine commands – one who obeys Naam finds God. 1.

O (gurdev) great Guru, You (udhaaria) save the people in (kalijug-u) the age of discord.
(Moorr mughad) foolish people (j-i) who (hotey) were filthy with (mal) faeces, (moot) urine i.e. who were afflicted with all types of vices; they (lagey) engaged in (teyri) Your (seyv) service i.e. started living according to Divine commands. 1

O Almighty, (tu) You are (aap-i) Yourself (karta) the Creator and (dharta = supporter) Sustainor of (sabh) all (sristt-i) the universes, and (rahia samaaey) pervade (mah-i) in (sabh) all.
This understanding came through the guru’s teachings and people got devoted to You; (dharam raja) Dharam Rai the metaphoric judge in Divine court (vismaad hoaa) was amazed to see that (sabh) every one (aaey) came and (paee) fell at Your (pairi) feet – and thus would fall outside his domain. 2.

People (bhaneeai) talk of the three the ages of Satjug, Treyta and Duaapar, but the fourth, Kalijug is (ootmo) sublime (maah-i) amongst all (jugaa) the ages.
In the earlier ages deeds of one person affected those of his/her ilk; but in Kalijug, what (ah-i) this (kar-u = hand) person (karey) does, the same hand/person (paaey = gets) faces the consequences; (koee na) no one (pakrreeai) is caught (thaaey) in place of (kisai) someone else. Note: It is unlike earlier ages when the whole community suffered for fault of one person. Kaliyug is the age of natural justice. 3.

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

Invoking the One all-pervasive Creator who may be known with the true guru’s grace.

ਓਹੁ ਨੇਹੁ ਨਵੇਲਾ ॥ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਸਿਉ ਲਾਗਿ ਰਹੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Oh nehu navelā. Apune parīṯam si▫o lāg rahai. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Oh-u) that (neyh-u) love is (naveyla = new) always fresh by which one (laag-i rahai) is attached to (apuney = own) the (preetam) Beloved Almighty – other attachments with those who are perishable, wither soon. 1
(Rahaau) dwell and reflect on this.

ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ਜਨਮਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਰਚੈ ॥੧॥
Jo parabẖ bẖāvai janam na āvai. Har parem bẖagaṯ har parīṯ racẖai. ||1||

(Jo) one who (bhaavai) is approved by (prabh) the Almighty – for merger, does not (aavai) come (janm-i) in birth, i.e. is not reborn.
Such a person (rachai) remains absorbed in (preet-i) love of (har-i) the Almighty through (preym) loving (bhagat-i) devotion i.e. living in obedience to the Almighty. 1.

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸੰਗਿ ਮਿਲੀਜੈ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਅਪਨੀ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਹੁ ॥੨॥੧॥੧੫੦॥

Parabẖ sang milījai ih man ḏījai. Nānak nām milai apnī ḏa▫i▫ā karahu. ||2||1||150||

(Mileejai) we can meet/merge (sang-i) with (prabh) the Almighty by (deejai = give) surrendering (ih-u = this) our (man-u) mind/ego.
Supplication: O Almighty, please (karah-u) bestow (apni = own) Your (daiaa) kindness that I (milai) obtain awareness of (naam-u) Divine commands as guide for life, says fifth Nanak. 2. 1. 150.
