But is (vihooniaa) bereft of Naam – awareness of Divine virtues and commands – s/he (mirtak) is like a dead person, because s/he has (habho) every (rog-u) ailment/vice, says fifth Nanak. 2.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਹਿਕਸ ਕੂੰ ਤੂ ਆਹਿ ਪਛਾਣੂ ਭੀ ਹਿਕੁ ਕਰਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਆਸੜੀ ਨਿਬਾਹਿ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਪਰਥਾਈ ਲਜੀਵਦੋ ॥੩॥

IT (nibaah-i) fulfils (aasrri) wishes while reliance (parthaaee) on (maanukh) human beings (lajeevdo) humiliates, says fifth Nanak. 3.

 

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਏਕੁ ਨਰਾਇਣੋ ਹਰਿ ਅਗਮ ਅਗਾਧਾ ॥ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਹਰਿ ਲਾਧਾ ॥

Pa▫oṛī.   Nihcẖal ek nārā▫iṇo har agam agāḏẖā.  Nihcẖal nām niḏẖān hai jis simraṯ har lāḏẖā.

 

(Paurri) stanza by the fifth Guru. (Eyk-u) the One (naraaino) Almighty (har-i) Master who is (agam) beyond reach and (agaadhaa = bottomless) unfathomable, is (nihchal-u = unshakable) eternal.

(Nidhaan-u = treasure) the valuable (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands, by (simrat) keeping in mind and practice of (jis-u) which, (har-i) the Almighty is (laadhaa) found within (hai) is (nihchal-u = unshakable) ever applicable.

 

ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗੁਣ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਗਾਵਾਧਾ ॥ ਸਚੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਤਪੁ ਨਿਹਚਲੋ ਦਿਨੁ ਰੈਨਿ ਅਰਾਧਾ ॥

Nihcẖal kīrṯan guṇ gobinḏ gurmukẖ gāvāḏẖā.  Sacẖ ḏẖaram ṯap nihcẖalo ḏin rain arāḏẖā.

 

 (Gaavaadha) singing of (keertan-u) glory of (gun) virtues of (gobind = master of the world) the Almighty (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance is (nihchal) the sure way to find God.

(Araadhaa) invoking the Almighty (din-u) day and (rain-i) night is (nihchlo) the true (sach-u) truthful living, as is (dharam-u) performing one’s duties and (tap-u) austerities – even in difficulty.

 

ਦਇਆ ਧਰਮੁ ਤਪੁ ਨਿਹਚਲੋ ਜਿਸੁ ਕਰਮਿ ਲਿਖਾਧਾ ॥ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੋ ਟਲੈ ਨ ਟਲਾਧਾ ॥

Ḏa▫i▫ā ḏẖaram ṯap nihcẖalo jis karam likẖāḏẖā.  Nihcẖal masṯak lekẖ likẖi▫ā so talai na talāḏẖā.

 

One in (jis-u) whose (karam-i) destiny it is so (likaadhaa) written, s/he is (nihchlo) steadfast in virtues of (daiaa) compassion, (dharam-u) dutiful-ness and (tap-u) austerities – obedience to Divine commands under all circumstances.

(Leykh-u) writing/destiny (likihiaa) written (mastak-i) on the forehead is (nihchal-u) inevitable and (so) that cannot (ttalai) be stopped by trying to (ttalaadha) stop.

 

ਨਿਹਚਲ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਾਧ ਜਨ ਬਚਨ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਧਾ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਆਰਾਧਾ ॥੧੯॥

Nihcẖal sangaṯ sāḏẖ jan bacẖan nihcẖal gur sāḏẖā.  Jin ka▫o pūrab likẖi▫ā ṯin saḏā saḏā ārāḏẖā. ||19||

 

(Sangat-i) company of (saadh = holy, jan = persons) the holy congregation is the sure way to find God; as are (bhachan = words) teachings of (gur = guru, saadh = saint) the saint-guru.

Those (kau) to whom, i.e. in whose destiny, it is so (likhiaa) written (poorab-i) based on past deeds, (tin) they (sadaa sdaa) forever (aaraadha = invoke) remember and obey the Almighty. 19

Message: We should carefully choose whom to follow on the spiritual path to overcome vices in life.

Prologue by the fifth Guru. (Kiaa) why do you (karah-i) say (meyri meyri) my and mine, i.e. why are you so attached with and (sneyh) love (putr = sons) children and (klatr) the spouse, and have forgotten God?

Remember, (deyh = body) those (vihoonia) bereft of living by Naam, i.e. Divine virtues and commands, (nimuneeaadi = without foundation) get no support in the world or in the hereafter, says fifth Nanak. 3.

(Mai) I (chhaddiaa) have given up (saagal) all (apaaino = self/ego) self-will (bharvaasi) with reliance on teachings of the guru who is (samrathaa) capable of guiding to avoid vices.

 

ਗੁਰਿ ਬਖਸਿਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਸਭੋ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਥਾ ॥ ਭੋਗਹੁ ਭੁੰਚਹੁ ਭਾਈਹੋ ਪਲੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਗਥਾ ॥

Gur bakẖsi▫ā nām niḏẖān sabẖo ḏukẖ lathā.  Bẖogahu bẖuncẖahu bẖā▫īho palai nām agthā.

 

The guru (bakhsiaa) graciously imparted (nidhaan-u = treasure) the wealth of awareness of (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands; I obey them and (sabho) all (dukh-u) distress is (lathaa = removed) obviated.

O (bhaaeeho) brethren, (bhogahu = eat, bhunchahu = drink) enjoy living by Naam (agathaa/akath) of the Ineffable Almighty; it is (palai = possession) within you.

 

ਨਾਮੁ ਦਾਨੁ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਦਿੜੁ ਸਦਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਗੁਰ ਕਥਾ ॥ ਸਹਜੁ ਭਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਮ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਲਥਾ ॥੨੦॥

Prologue by the fifth Guru in southern Punjabi language. My eyes are (lagrreeaa) fixed (pireeann-i) on the Beloved and are not (tipeeaa/tripteeaa) satisfied (pekhandeeaa) seeing, i.e. no amount of company of the Almighty is enough.

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਡੂੰਗਰਿ ਜਲਾ ਥਲਾ ਭੂਮਿ ਬਨਾ ਫਲ ਕੰਦਰਾ ॥ ਪਾਤਾਲਾ ਆਕਾਸ ਪੂਰਨੁ ਹਭ ਘਟਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਪੇਖਿ ਜੀਓ ਇਕਤੁ ਸੂਤਿ ਪਰੋਤੀਆ ॥੩॥

In (paataala) nether regions or (aakaasa) in the sky; the Almighty (pooran-u = filling) is present in (habh) all (ghattaa) bodies/minds.

(Jeeo = live) be happy (peykh-i) to see all as they are (protiaa) strung on (ikat-u) one (soot-i) string, i.e. are creatures of, and rely on, the One Almighty, says fifth Nanak. 3.

ਸਹਜੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਖਿਲਾਇਦਾ ਨਹੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਆਲਕ ॥ ਅਉਗਣੁ ਕੋ ਨ ਚਿਤਾਰਦਾ ਗਲ ਸੇਤੀ ਲਾਇਕ ॥ ਮੁਹਿ ਮੰਗਾਂ ਸੋਈ ਦੇਵਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਇਕ ॥

Sėhje sahj kẖilā▫iḏā nahī karḏā ālak.  A▫ugaṇ ko na cẖiṯārḏā gal seṯī lā▫ik.  Muhi mangāʼn so▫ī ḏevḏā har piṯā sukẖ▫ḏā▫ik.

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਕਾਰਣੁ ਕਰਤੈ ਜੋ ਕੀਆ ਸੋਈ ਹੈ ਕਰਣਾ ॥ ਜੇ ਸਉ ਧਾਵਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀਆ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਹਣਾ ॥

(Jinaa) those who have (muhabat-i) love/obedience (siau) with (ik) the One Almighty, (tey) they are (pardhaan = leaders) exalted (maanas) persons. 2.

 

ਮਃ ੫ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਪੀਰ ॥ ਭੁਖ ਤਿਖ ਤਿਸੁ ਨ ਵਿਆਪਈ ਜਮੁ ਨਹੀ ਆਵੈ ਨੀਰ ॥੩॥

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਈਐ ਸਚੁ ਸਾਹ ਅਡੋਲੈ ॥ ਸਿਧ ਸਾਧਿਕ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਧਿਆਨੀਆ ਕਉਣੁ ਤੁਧੁਨੋ ਤੋਲੈ ॥

Pa▫oṛī.  Kīmaṯ kahaṇ na jā▫ī▫ai sacẖ sāh adolai.  Siḏẖ sāḏẖik gi▫ānī ḏẖi▫ānī▫ā ka▫uṇ ṯuḏẖuno ṯolai.

 

Stanza by the fifth Guru. (Keemat-i = price/worth) the extent of virtues and powers of (sach-u) the Eternal (addolai) unwavering (saah) Master (na jaaeeai) cannot be (kahan-u) told/estimated.

(Kaun-u = who?) none including (sidh) the accomplished saints, (saadhik) seekers, (giaani) the learned ones and (dhiaaneeaa) those who contemplate can (tolai = weigh) appraise (tudh no) You.

 

ਭੰਨਣ ਘੜਣ ਸਮਰਥੁ ਹੈ ਓਪਤਿ ਸਭ ਪਰਲੈ ॥ ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥੁ ਹੈ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਸਭ ਬੋਲੈ ॥

Bẖannaṇ gẖaṛaṇ samrath hai opaṯ sabẖ parlai.  Karaṇ kāraṇ samrath hai gẖat gẖat sabẖ bolai.

 

The Almighty is (samrath-u) capable to (bhanan = break) destroy and (gharran = chisel) create the creatures; (opat-i) creation of the universes and (parlai) destruction is in IT’s control.

(Karan) the Creator of (kaaran) the creation (hai) is (samrath) Omnipotent and (bolai = speaks) is present (ghatt-i ghatt-i) in all bodies/creatures.

 

ਰਿਜਕੁ ਸਮਾਹੇ ਸਭਸੈ ਕਿਆ ਮਾਣਸੁ ਡੋਲੈ ॥ ਗਹਿਰ ਗਭੀਰੁ ਅਥਾਹੁ ਤੂ ਗੁਣ ਗਿਆਨ ਅਮੋਲੈ ॥

Rijak samāhe sabẖsai ki▫ā māṇas dolai.  Gahir gabẖīr athāhu ṯū guṇ gi▫ān amolai.

 

IT (samaahey) reaches (rijak-u) the wherewithal (sabhsai) to all, (maanas-u = person) one should (kiaa = why?) should not (ddolai = waver) have any doubt about it.

O Almighty, You are (gahir) deep, (gabheer/gambheer) profound, (athaah = bottomless) unfathomable and (giaan = knowledge) awareness of Your (gun) virtues is (amolai) priceless. 

 

ਸੋਈ ਕੰਮੁ ਕਮਾਵਣਾ ਕੀਆ ਧੁਰਿ ਮਉਲੈ ॥ ਤੁਧਹੁ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਕਿਛੁ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਗੁਣ ਬੋਲੈ ॥੨੩॥੧॥੨॥

So▫ī kamm kamāvaṇā kī▫ā ḏẖur ma▫ulai.  Ŧuḏẖhu bāhar kicẖẖ nahī Nānak guṇ bolai. ||23||1||2||

 

We have to (kamaavna) perform (soee) that (kamm-u) task which (maulai) God (keeaa = done) assigns (dhur-i) at the source.

There is (kichh-u nahi) nothing (baahar-i) beyond (tudhahu = you) Your powers; fifth Nanak only (bolai) talks of some of Your (gun) virtues. 23. 1. 2.
