O (jeeo) revered (saacha) Eternal (sirjanhaar-u) Creator, (too’n) You are present at (sabhni) all (thaaee) places; (jithai) wherever I go – I find You there.
You are (daata) the provider/sustainer of (sabhna) all, (bidhaata) the Master of destiny based on (karam) deeds, and (bisaaranhaar-u = vauses to forget) deliver from (dookh) distress.

(Jinh) those who (dhiaaia) kept in mind/obeyed the Master (ik man-i = in single mind) with single-minded attention, (tinh) they (paaia) obtain (sukh-u) peace; but (tey) they are (virley) rare (sansaar-i) in the world.
Such a person (kamaavai) complies with (gur sabad-u = guru’s word) the guru’s teachings and (kabh-u na) never (aavah-i haar-i) face failure i.e. do not fail to attain union with the Creator; (jam-u) the messenger of Divine justice does not (aavai) come (neyrr-i) near him/her – cannot prevent their union with the Creator.

They never fail because they (saarah-i) remember and live by (har-i gun) Divine virtues, and so the messenger of Divine justice does not (aavai) come near them.
(Jo) those who (laagey paavai = attach to the feet) live in obedience to (har-i) the Almighty, (tinha ka) their cycles of (jaman-u) births and (maran-u) deaths (chooka) end.

We should (seyv kareejai = serve) obey (ta = that) IT’s commands and (leejai = take) derive (laaha = profit) the benefit of (paaiai) obtaining (maan-u) honour (dargah) in Divine court i.e. being accepted for union with the Creator.

Those who (laan-i = utter) remember and live by (naam-u) Divine commands, (s-i) they (sohah-i = look good) are glorified; they (hova-ih) get (phal = fruit) the reward of (sukh-u) peace of mind; those who (maanah-i = accept) obey, (sey) they (jaah-i) depart (jin-i) winning the game of life i.e. quqlify for union with the Creator.
(Ja) if it (bhaavai) pleases (tis-u = that) the Master, (keytey) any number of (jug) ages i.e. any length of time, (jaah-i = go) may pass but (tin) their (phal) reward never (tott-i aavai) runs out i.e. the Creator ever keeps giving.

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਛੰਤ ਘਰੁ ੩ ॥
Āsā mėhlā 1 cẖẖanṯ gẖar 3.

Composition of the first Guru in Raga Aasa, (chhant) song of love for the Almighty, (ghar-u 3) to be sung to the third beat.

Note: This Shabad uses examples from nature to highlight human attachment to transitory pleasures and resultant suffering.

ਤੂੰ ਸੁਣਿ ਹਰਣਾ ਕਾਲਿਆ ਕੀ ਵਾੜੀਐ ਰਾਤਾ ਰਾਮ ॥ਬਿਖੁ ਫਲੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਚਾਰਿ ਦਿਨ ਫਿਰਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਤਾਤਾ ਰਾਮ ॥
Ŧūʼn suṇ harṇā kāliā kī vāṛīai rāṯā rām. Bikẖ fal mīṯẖā cẖār ḏin fir hovai ṯāṯā rām.

(Sun-i) listen, (too) you, o (kaalia harnaa = black deer) mindless person, (kiaa) why are you (raata = imbued) in love with (vaarreeai = garden) sensual pleasures?
This (phal-u = fruit) experience of (bikh/vishai) vices seems (meettha = sweet) pleasing but lasts (chaar-i din = four days) for a short while and (phir-i) then (hovai) becomes (taata = hot) the cause of suffering.

ਫਿਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਤਾਤਾ ਖਰਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਪਰਤਾਪਏ ॥ਓਹੁ ਜੇਵ ਸਾਇਰ ਦੇਇ ਲਹਰੀ ਬਿਜੁਲ ਜਿਵੈ ਚਮਕਏ ॥
Fir hoe ṯāṯā kẖarā māṯā nām bin parṯāpe. Oh jev sāir ḏe-i lahrī bijul jivai cẖamkae.

Things by which you are (kharaa) greatly (maata = intoxicated) possessed by; all these, (bin-u) except living by (naam) Divine virtues and commands, (partaapaey = cause great heat) cause suffering.
(Oh-u) they are transitory (jeyv) like (saair) the sea (dey-i = gives) produces (lahri) waves or (jivai) like (bijul) the lightning (chamkaey) flashes – they occur for a while and then disappear.

ਹਰਿ ਬਾਝੁ ਰਾਖਾ ਕੋਇ ਨਾਹੀ ਸੋਇ ਤੁਝਹਿ ਬਿਸਾਰਿਆ ॥ਸਚੁ ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਚੇਤਿ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਮਰਹਿ ਹਰਣਾ ਕਾਲਿਆ ॥੧॥
Har bājẖ rākẖā koe nāhī soe ṯujẖėh bisārā. Sacẖ kahai Nānak cẖeṯ re man marėh harṇā kāliā. ||1||

There is (koey naahi) none (baajh-u) except (har-i) the Almighty who can (raakha = protector) protect you from the vices, but (tujhah-i) you have (bisaaria) forgotten (soey = that) the Master.
Guru Nanak (kahai = says) reminds you of (sach-u) the truth/reality: (Cheyt-i) remember the Almighty (rey) o (man) my mind (harnaa kaalia = black deer) possessed by vices, otherwise you will (marah-i = die) keep succumbing to vices. 1.

ਭਵਰਾ ਫੂਲਿ ਭਵੰਤਿਆ ਦੁਖੁ ਅਤਿ ਭਾਰੀ ਰਾਮ ॥ਮੈ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਛਿਆ ਆਪਣਾ ਸਾਚਾ ਬੀਚਾਰੀ ਰਾਮ ॥

Bẖavrā fūl bẖavanṯiā ḏukẖ aṯ bẖārī rām. Mai gur pūcẖẖiā āpṇā sācẖā bīcẖārī rām.

O (bhavra) bumble bee (bhavantia) hovering (phool-i) over the flowers, you are in for (at-i) very (bhaari = heavy) terrible (dukh-u) distress ahead – you will be consumed when the flower closes.
Message: O my wavering mind, your being engrossed in transitory pleasures will be your undoing.
(Mai) I (poochhia) asked (aapna) my (sachaa) true guru who (beechaari) thinks (saachaa = true) rightly.

ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੁਝੈ ਪੂਛਿਆ ਭਵਰੁ ਬੇਲੀ ਰਾਤਓ ॥ਸੂਰਜੁ ਚੜਿਆ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਪੜਿਆ ਤੇਲੁ ਤਾਵਣਿ ਤਾਤਓ ॥

Bīcẖār saṯgur mujẖai pūcẖẖiā bẖavar belī rāṯao. Sūraj cẖaṛiā pind paṛiā ṯel ṯāvaṇṯāṯao.

(Mujhai) I (poochhia) asked (beechaar-i) thoughts (satigur-u) of the true guru, as to why (bhavar = bumble bee) the wavering mind (raatao = imbued) falls to temptations of (beyl = creepers/flowers) transitory pleasures – what will happen to it?
The guru replied: When (sooraj) the sun (charria) rises i.e. when the night – life span – is over, (pind-u) the body will (parria) fall and the soul will be put in (taatao) heated (teyl-u) oil (taavan-i = for heating) torture – as below.

ਜਮ ਮਗਿ ਬਾਧਾ ਖਾਹਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਸਬਦ ਬਿਨੁ ਬੇਤਾਲਿਆ ॥ਸਚੁ ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਚੇਤਿ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਮਰਹਿ ਭਵਰਾ ਕਾਲਿਆ ॥੨॥
Jam mag bāḏẖā kẖāhi cẖotā sabaḏ bin beṯāliā. Sacẖ kahai Nānak cẖeṯ re man marėh bẖavrā kāliā. ||2||

(Bin-u) without (sabad = word) the guru’s teachings one (beytaalia = out of step) wanders directionless, his/her soul is (baadha = bound) put (mag-i) on the path of, i.e. taken by (jam) the agent of Divine justice and (khaah-i chotta = receives hits) suffers – denied union with the Creator and put in cycles of births and deaths.
Guru Nanak (kahai) says this (sach-u) truth: (Rey) o (bhavra kaalia = black bumble bee) my vicious mind, (cheyt-i) remember the Almighty, otherwise you will (mareyh = die) keep falling prey to temptations/vices – and suffer. 2.

ਮੇਰੇ ਜੀਅੜਿਆ ਪਰਦੇਸੀਆ ਕਿਤੁ ਪਵਹਿ ਜੰਜਾਲੇ ਰਾਮ ॥ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਕੀ ਫਾਸਹਿ ਜਮ ਜਾਲੇ ਰਾਮ ॥
Mere jīaṛiā parḏesīā kiṯ pavėh janjāle rām. Sācẖā sāhib man vasai kī fāsėh jam jāle rām.

O (meyrey) my (jeearria) soul (pardeysia) alien/wandering outside, (kit-u) why are you (pavah-i = falling) getting caught in (janjaaley) entanglements of the world-play?
(Saacha) the Eternal (sahib-u) Master (vasai) dwells (man-i = in the mind) within, (ki) why you have forgotten IT and are (phaasah-i = trapped) caught in (jaaley = web) the trap of (jam) the agent of Divine justice, i.e. vices?

ਮਛੁਲੀ ਵਿਛੁੰਨੀ ਨੈਣ ਰੁੰਨੀ ਜਾਲੁ ਬਧਿਕਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਅੰਤਿ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਆ ॥
Macẖẖulī vicẖẖunnī naiṇ runnī jāl baḏẖik pāiā. Sansār māiā moh mīṯẖā anṯ bẖaram cẖukāiā.

When (badhik-i = hunter) the fisherman (paaia) spreads (jaal-u) the net and (machhuli) the fish gets caught in it, (vichhuni) it is separated from the water; it (nain runi = cries with tearful eyes) repents – for not having been careful.

The (bharam-u) delusion (chukaaia) ends when (ant-i) in the end, the soul realises that it is suffering because it found (moh-u) lure (sansaar-u maaia) of temptations (meettha = sweet) enjoyable.

ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਛੋਡਿ ਮਨਹੁ ਅੰਦੇਸਿਆ ॥ਸਚੁ ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਚੇਤਿ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਜੀਅੜਿਆ ਪਰਦੇਸੀਆ ॥੩॥

Bẖagaṯ kar cẖiṯ lāe har sio cẖẖod manhu anḏesiā. Sacẖ kahai Nānak cẖeṯ re man jīaṛiā parḏesīā. ||3||

(Chit-u laaey = put the mind) remember and obey (har-i) the Almighty (bhagat-i kar-i) with devotion; this way you will (chhodd-i = leave) be freed of (andeysia) anxiety (manh-u) from the mind.
Guru Nanak (kahai) says this (sach-u) truth: (Cheyt-i) remember the Almighty (rey) o my (man) mind, the (jeearria) soul (pardesia = alien) wandering outside. 3.

ਨਦੀਆ ਵਾਹ ਵਿਛੁੰਨਿਆ ਮੇਲਾ ਸੰਜੋਗੀ ਰਾਮ ॥ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਵਿਸੁ ਭਰੇ ਕੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਜੋਗੀ ਰਾਮ ॥
Naḏīā vāh vicẖẖunniā melā sanjogī rām. Jug jug mīṯẖā vis bẖare ko jāṇai jogī rām.

The way (vaah) the water-flows which (vichhunia) separate from (nadiaa) the streams, their (meyla) meeting with the stream (sanjogi = by destiny) may or may not happen; similarly the creatures who are led astray from the path to the Almighty, and go their own way come back if so destined, based on their deeds.
(Vis-u = poison) the vices people consider (meettha = sweet) enjoyable, are (bharey = full) present (jug-u jug-u = in all ages) all the time and (ko) some rare (jogi) Yogi who (jaanai = knows) understands this, overcomes them.

ਕੋਈ ਸਹਜਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਹਰਿ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਜਿਨਿ ਚੇਤਿਆ ॥ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਮ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੂਲੇ ਪਚਹਿ ਮੁਗਧ ਅਚੇਤਿਆ ॥
Koī sahj jāṇai har pacẖẖāṇai saṯgurū jin cẖeṯiā. Bin nām har ke bẖaram bẖūle pacẖėh mugaḏẖ acẖeṯiā.

(Koee) some rare person (jin-i) who (cheytia) remembers teachings of (satguru) the true Guru (sahj-i) intuitively (jaanai) understands this – sheds vices – and (pachhaanai) recognises (har-i) the Almighty within.
Otherwise, (bin-u) without (naam) remembering the virtues and commands of the Almighty, (mugadh) foolish people (acheytia) oblivious of the Almighty (bhooley) are led astray (bharam-i) in delusion and (pachah-i = burn) face frustration – for being unable to find the Master.

ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਰਿਦੈ ਸਾਚਾ ਸੇ ਅੰਤਿ ਧਾਹੀ ਰੁੰਨਿਆ ॥ਸਚੁ ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਮੇਲਿ ਚਿਰੀ ਵਿਛੁੰਨਿਆ ॥੪॥੧॥੫॥

Har nām bẖagaṯ na riḏai sācẖā se anṯḏẖāhī runniā. Sacẖ kahai Nānak sabaḏ sācẖai mel cẖirī vicẖẖunniā. ||4||1||5||

Those who do not (radai = mind) remember (saacha) the Eternal Master and do not live (bhagat-i) with devotion/commitment to (har-i naam-u) commands of the Almighty, (sey) they (runia) cry out (dhaahi) wildly (ant-i) at the end of life – when they are confronted with their deeds and have to face the consequences.
Guru Nanak (kahai) states this (sach-u) truth: Those (vichhunia) separated from the Creator (chiri = for long) for numerous births can (meyl-i) be united with (saachai) the Eternal Master (sabad-i = by the word) by following the guru’s teachings. 4. 1. 5.
