ਗੁਰ ਮਨਾਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਦਇਆਰ ਸਿਉ ਰੰਗੁ ਕੀਆ ॥ ਕੀਨੋ ਰੀ ਸਗਲ ਸੀਂਗਾਰ ॥ ਤਜਿਓ ਰੀ ਸਗਲ ਬਿਕਾਰ ॥ ਧਾਵਤੋ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਥੀਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Gur manār pari▫a ḏa▫i▫ār si▫o rang kī▫ā.  Kīno rī sagal sīʼngār.  Ŧaji▫o rī sagal bikār.  Ḏẖāvṯo asthir thī▫ā. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Ri) o girl-friends by (tajio) by giving up (sagal) all (bikaar) vices; the (dhaavto = running) unsteady mind (theeaa) becomes (asthir-u) steady – does not succumb to temptations and remains focused on God within. 1.

(Rahaau) Dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਐਸੇ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਪਾਇ ਕੈ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ਕੈ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਧਨ ਸਿਉ ਸੰਗੁ ॥ ਬਾਜੇ ਬਜਹਿ ਮ੍ਰਿਦੰਗ ਅਨਾਹਦ ਕੋਕਿਲ ਰੀ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਬੋਲੈ ਮਧੁਰ ਬੈਨ ਅਤਿ ਸੁਹੀਆ ॥੧॥

ਐਸੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਦਰਸਨ ਕੀ ਸੋਭ ਅਤਿ ਅਪਾਰ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਅਮੋਘ ਤੈਸੇ ਹੀ ਸੰਗਿ ਸੰਤ ਬਨੇ ॥ ਭਵ ਉਤਾਰ ਨਾਮ ਭਨੇ ॥ ਰਮ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਮ ਮਾਲ ॥

Aisī ṯere ḏarsan kī sobẖ aṯ apār pari▫a amogẖ ṯaise hī sang sanṯ bane. Bẖav uṯār nām bẖane.  Ram rām rām māl.

 

(Sobh) the glory of (teyrey) Your (darsan) vision, i.e. awareness of Divine virtues and commands, is (aisi) so (at-i) very (apaar = infinite) great; it is (amogh) fruitful in freeing from vices – o (pria) Beloved; (taisey hi) similarly (sang-i) company of (sant) the saints (baney) becomes – is pleasant and valuable.

(Bhaney = utters) remembrance and practice of Naam (utaar = lands) ferries across (bhav/bhavjal) world-ocean. O human being, turn (maal) the rosary, remember (raam raam raam) the Almighty – three ways – in thought, word and deed.

Ān upāv sagar kī▫e nėh ḏūkẖ sākėh lāhi.  Bẖaj saran sāḏẖū nānkā mil gun gobinḏėh gāhi. ||2||2||24||

 

I (keeay) made (sagar/sagal) all (aan) other (upaav) efforts/adopted other measures, but they (na saakah-i) could not (laah-i) remove (dookh) the pain – of separation from the Almighty.
