ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਵੇਖੁ ਤੂ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਤੇਰੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਸਬਦੇ ਖੋਜੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਲੇਹੁ ਸਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਲਿ ॥੧॥

Gur parsādī vekẖ ṯū har manḏar ṯerai nāl.  Har manḏar sabḏe kẖojī▫ai har nāmo leho samĥāl. ||1||

 

(Too) you should (veykh-u) see within (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of (gur) the guru and you will find that (mandar-u = house) abode of (har-i) the Almighty is (naal-i) with (teyrai = your) you, i.e. your body is the abode of God. One should (khojeeai) search (har-i mandar-u = God’s abode) within (sabdey = with the word) with the guru’s guidance – to get awareness of Naam/Divine virtues and commands; and (leyhu samhaal-i = take care) keep (naamo) Naam of (har-i) the Almighty in mind. 1.

ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਪੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਸਚੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਸਚਾ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਟੀ ਸਾਚੀ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Man mere sabaḏ rapai rang ho▫e.   Sacẖī bẖagaṯ sacẖā har manḏar pargatī sācẖī so▫e. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (meyrey) my (man) mind the right (rang-u) colour (hoey) is obtained by (rapai) being dyed/imbued, i.e. true devotion develops (sabad-i = with the word) with awareness of Naam/Divine commands.

The body/mind of one who has (sachi) true (bhagat-i) devotion, is (sachaa) truly (har-i mandar-u) God’s abode; his/her (saachi = true) good (soey) reputation (pragtti) spreads everywhere. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਏਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਹੈ ਗਿਆਨਿ ਰਤਨਿ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੂਲੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਮਾਣਸਿ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥

Har manḏar ehu sarīr hai gi▫ān raṯan pargat ho▫e. Manmukẖ mūl na jāṇnī māṇas har manḏar na ho▫e. ||2||

 

(Eyhu) this (sarer-u) body (hai) is (har-i mandar-u) God’s abode; (ratan-i = jewel) Naam (pargatt-u = manifest, hoey = happens) is found within it (giaan-i = with knowledge) with guidance of the guru.

(Manmukh) self-willed persons – who do not follow the guru – do not (jaananee) know (mool-u = root) the fundamental thing and say (maanas-i) a person’s body (na hoey) is not (har-i mandar-u) God’s abode. 2.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਰਖਿਆ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਸਵਾਰਿ ॥ ਧੁਰਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੁ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਮੇਟਣਹਾਰੁ ॥੩॥

Har manḏar har jī▫o sāji▫ā rakẖi▫ā hukam savār. Ḏẖur lekẖ likẖi▫ā so kamāvaṇā ko▫e na metaṇhār. ||3||

 

(Jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (saajiaa) created (har-i mandar-u = God’s abode) the human body and (rakhiaa) has kept it (savaar-i) equipped with (hukam-i = with commands) with Naam.

The commands (likhiaa) written/given (dhur-i = from source) by the Creator (su) that (kamaavna) is to be carried out; (koey na = not any) no one (meyttanhaar-u = capable to erase) can countermand those – anyone who disobeys, suffers. 3.

 

ਸਬਦੁ ਚੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਚੈ ਨਾਇ ਪਿਆਰ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਸਬਦੇ ਸੋਹਣਾ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਕੋਟੁ ਅਪਾਰ ॥੪॥

Sabaḏ cẖīnėh sukẖ pā▫i▫ā sacẖai nā▫e pi▫ār. Har manḏar sabḏe sohṇā kancẖan kot apār. ||4||

 

One who (cheenh-i) understands/obeys (sabad-u = the word) Divine commands – has no apprehensions and – (paaiaa) experiences (sukh-u) comfort/peace; s/he (piaar-u) loves (naaey = by naam) living by Naam (sachai) of the Eternal.

(Har-i mandar-u) the human body/a person becomes (sohna) beautiful/is respected (sabdey = with the word) by obedience to Naam; as if (kott-u) castle of (apaar) infinite (kanchan) gold, i.e. such a person receives respect here and in the hereafter. 4.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਏਹੁ ਜਗਤੁ ਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਘੋਰੰਧਾਰ ॥ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਕਰਿ ਪੂਜਦੇ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਅੰਧ ਗਵਾਰ ॥੫॥

Har manḏar ehu jagaṯ hai gur bin gẖoranḏẖār.  Ḏūjā bẖā▫o kar pūjḏe manmukẖ anḏẖ gavār. ||5||

 

(Eyhu) this (jagat-u) world, i.e. the whole creation, is (har-i mandar-u) God’s abode; but (ghor = intense, andhaar = darkness – ignorance) it is not realized (bin-u) except with guidance of (gur) the guru.

(Manmukh = self-willed) those who do not follow the guru are (gavaar) uniformed and hence (andh = blind) oblivious of this; they (poojdey) worship (kar-i) with (bhaau) faith in (dooja = second) others, like gods/goddesses. 5.

 

ਜਿਥੈ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਦੇਹ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਸਾਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਸੇ ਉਬਰੇ ਦੁਖੀਏ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥੬॥

Jithai lekẖā mangī▫ai ṯithai ḏeh jāṯ na jā▫e.  Sācẖ raṯe se ubre ḏukẖī▫e ḏūjai bẖā▫e. ||6||

 

The hereafter, (jithai) where (leykha) account of deeds (mangeeai) is asked, (deyh = body) physical strength/beauty or (jaat-i) caste/status does not (jaaey = go) accompany to impress help.

(Sey) those (ratey) imbued (saach-i = with truth) obedience to Naam, (ubrey) they are saved and merge with the Creator, but those with (bhaaey = love) faith (doojai = second) elsewhere (dukheeay) suffer, – remain in cycles of births and deaths. 6.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰ ਮਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਮੁਗਧ ਗਵਾਰ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਚੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੭॥

Har manḏar mėh nām niḏẖān hai nā būjẖėh mugaḏẖ gavār.  Gur parsādī cẖīnĥi▫ā har rākẖi▫ā ur ḏẖār. ||7||

 

(Nidhaan-u) the treasure of awareness of Naam/Divine commands (hai) is (mah-i) in (har-i mandar-u = God’s abode) in the mind, but (mugadh = foolish) ignorant (gavaar) unaware persons do not (boojhah-i = understand) realize.

One who (cheenhiaa) recognizes Naam/God within (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of (gur) the guru, (raakhiaa) keeps (har-i) the Almighty (dhaar-i) enshrined (ur-i) in mind – is ever conscious of Naam. 7.

 

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਜਾਤੀ ਜਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥ ਪਵਿਤੁ ਪਾਵਨ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੮॥

Gur kī baṇī gur ṯe jāṯī jė sabaḏ raṯe rang lā▫e.  Paviṯ pāvan se jan nirmal har kai nām samā▫e. ||8||

 

(J-i) those who are (ratey) imbued (laaey) with (rang-u) love (sabad-i = of the word) of Naam they have (jaati) known/learnt (baani) construction/virtues and commands of (gur) the great Almighty (tey) from (gur) the guru, – who is embodiment of the Almighty.

(Sey) such (jan) persons are of (nirmal) clean conduct (pavit paavan = pure) free of vices; they (samaaey = engrossed) live (naam-i) by Naam/commands (kai) of (har-i) the Almighty. 8.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਹਾਟੁ ਹੈ ਰਖਿਆ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਵਾਰਿ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਸਉਦਾ ਏਕੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਲੈਨਿ ਸਵਾਰਿ ॥੯॥

Har manḏar har kā hāt hai rakẖi▫ā sabaḏ savār. Ŧis vicẖ sa▫uḏā ek nām gurmukẖ lain savār. ||9||

 

(Har-i mandar-u = God’s abode) the human body is (haatt-u) the shop (ka) of (har-i) the Almighty who has (rakhiaa) kept it (savaar-i) equipped with (sabad-i) of Naam.

In (tis-u = that) this shop (sauda) dealings are of, i.e. conduct of that person is to accord with (eyk-u) the One Naam, i.e. Divine commands; (gurmukh-i) those who follow the guru (lain-i savaar-i) accomplish that. 9.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰ ਮਹਿ ਮਨੁ ਲੋਹਟੁ ਹੈ ਮੋਹਿਆ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥ ਪਾਰਸਿ ਭੇਟਿਐ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਭਇਆ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਹੀ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੧੦॥

Har manḏar mėh man lohat hai mohi▫ā ḏūjai bẖā▫e.  Pāras bẖeti▫ai kancẖan bẖa▫i▫ā kīmaṯ kahī na jā▫e. ||10||

 

(Mah-i) in (har-i mandar-u) the human body is (lohatt-u = iron – base metal) is the virtue-less (man-u) mind (mohiaa) charmed by (doojai) other (bhaaey) ideas – than obedience to the Almighty.

It (bhaiaa) becomes (kanchan-u) gold (bheyttiai) being touched (paaras-i) by Paaras – the stone which is believed to turn a base metal to gold with its touch, i.e. the mind is purified of vices when one meets/follow the guru; then its (keemat-i) worth (na jaaey) cannot be (kahi) told, i.e. the guru changes an ordinary person to an exalted one. 10.

 

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰ ਮਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਵਸੈ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਸੋਇ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਣਜੀਐ ਸਚਾ ਸਉਦਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੧੧॥੧॥

Har manḏar mėh har vasai sarab niranṯar so▫e.  Nānak gurmukẖ vaṇjī▫ai sacẖā sa▫uḏā ho▫e. ||11||1||

 

(Mah-i) in (har-i mandar-u) the body (vasai) abides (har-i) the Almighty and (soey) the same One is present (nirantar-i) in (sarab) everyone/everywhere.

Parbẖāṯī mėhlā 3.   Bẖai bẖā▫e jāge se jan jāgraṇ karahi ha▫umai mail uṯār.  Saḏā jāgėh gẖar apṇā rākẖahi pancẖ ṯaskar kādẖėh mār. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in raga Prabhaati.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਹਜ ਧੁਨਿ ਊਪਜੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਾ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਸਹਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ॥੨॥

ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਜਾਗ੍ਰਣੁ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਪਵਈ ਥਾਇ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਦਰਿ ਢੋਈ ਨਾ ਲਹਹਿ ਭਾਇ ਦੂਜੈ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥੪॥

Ha▫umai vicẖ jāgraṇ na hova▫ī har bẖagaṯ na pav▫ī thā▫e.  Manmukẖ ḏar dẖo▫ī nā lahėh bẖā▫e ḏūjai karam kamā▫e. ||4||

 

(Jaagran-u = being awake) focus cannot be (hovaee) attained (vich-i) in (haumai) ego, i.e. ignoring Naam and acting by self-will influenced by other ideas; such (bhagat-i) such devotion is not (pavaee = put, thaaey = in place) approved by the Almighty.

(Manmukh) self-willed persons do not obey the Almighty but (karam = deeds, kamaaey = carry out) act (doojai) under other (bhaaey) ideas – for short term pleasures –; they do not (lahahi) get (ddhoee = support) acceptance (dar-i) in Divine court, i.e. for union with God and remain in cycles of reincarnation. 4.

 

ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਖਾਣਾ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਪੈਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਣਾ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥ ਬਿਸਟਾ ਕੇ ਕੀੜੇ ਬਿਸਟਾ ਰਾਤੇ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਹੋਹਿ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥੫॥

Ḏẖarig kẖāṇā ḏẖarig painĥṇā jinĥā ḏūjai bẖā▫e pi▫ār.  Bistā ke kīṛe bistā rāṯe mar jamėh hohi kẖu▫ār. ||5||

ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਭੇਟਿਆ ਤਿਨਾ ਵਿਟਹੁ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਉ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਰਹਾਂ ਸਚੇ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਉ ॥੬॥

Jin ka▫o saṯgur bẖeti▫ā ṯinā vitahu bal jā▫o. Ŧin kī sangaṯ mil rahāʼn sacẖe sacẖ samā▫o. ||6||

 

I (bal-i jaau = am sacrifice, vittahu = to) adore (tinaa) those who (bheyttiaa) find/follow (satigur-u) true guru.

O Almighty, may I (mil-i rahaa-n) be in company (ki) of (tin) them and (samaau) remain absorbed (sach-i) in obeying the Eternal (sachey) through truthful conduct – by following the example of the guru’s followers to live by Naam. 6.

 

ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਉਪਾਇ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਸਹਜੁ ਊਪਜੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਇ ॥੭॥

(Gur-u) the guru (paaeeai) is found/obeyed (bhaag-i) with good fortune; the guru is not (paaeeai) found by (kitai) any other (upaaey) effort/measure – own selection.

(Sahaj-u) tranquility (oopjai) comes (tey) by following (satigur) the true guru; (sabad-i= word of) the guru’s guidance helps (jalaaey = burn) dissolve (haumai) ego – and stops ignoring Divine commands to act by self-will. 7.

 

ਹਰਿ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਭਜੁ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਭ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰਣੈ ਜੋਗੁ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੈ ਸੁ ਹੋਗੁ ॥੮॥੨॥੭॥੨॥੯॥

Har sarṇā▫ī bẖaj man mere sabẖ kicẖẖ karṇai jog. Nānak nām na vīsrai jo kicẖẖ karai so hog. ||8||2||7||2||9||

 

O (meyrey) my (man) mind, (bhaj-u = run) waste no time and place yourself (sarnaaee = sanctuary) in care and obedience of (har-i) the Almighty, who is (jog-u) potent to (karnai) do (sabh kichh-u) everything.
