You (jaani) knew (meyri) my (birtha) painful state of mind and (japaaiaa) caused me to remember and practice (apna = own) Your Naam.

My (dukh) pains (naatthey = run away) have left and (sukh) comforts (samaaey = remain) experienced (sahj-i) all the time; (anad anad/anand) all this bliss is due to (gaaiaa = singing) praising and emulating Your (gun) virtues. 1.

You (pakar-i) held by (baah) the arm and (kaddh-i leeney) took me out, (apuney = own) Your seeker (tey) from (grih = house) the state of (andh = blind, koop = well) being blinded by temptations of (maaiaa) the world-play, i.e. made me aware of attachment to vices and helped to be freed.

(Gur-i) the guru (kaattey = cut) ended (bandhan = bonds) attachments to the world-play and (aan-i) brought me (bichhrat) the separated one to be (milaaiaa) united with God, says fifth Nanak. 2. 51. 74.

ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਆਧਾਰੋ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਦੀਆ ਤਿਸ ਕੈ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੋ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Sārag mėhlā 5.  Amriṯ nām manėh āḏẖāro.  Jin ḏī▫ā ṯis kai kurbānai gur pūre namaskāro. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. Awareness of (amrit) the life-giving (naam-u) Naam or virtues and commands of the Almighty, is (aadhaaro) the support (manah-i) for the mind – it enables to resist temptations and obey God.

I (kurbaanai = am sacrifice) adore (tis kai = that) one who (deeaa = gives) can impart awareness of Naam; my (namaskaaro) obeisance to (poorey) the perfect (gur) guru – who imparts awareness of Naam. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

Būjẖī ṯarisnā sahj suhelā kām kroḏẖ bikẖ jāro. Ā▫e na jā▫e basai ih ṯẖāhar jah āsan nirankāro. ||1||

 

With awareness of Naam, the fire of (trisna) desires (bujhi) is quenched, the mind remains (sahaj-i) naturally (suheyla = comfortable) at peace while (bikh-u) the poison/vices of (kaam) lust and (krodh-u) anger – as also greed, worldly attachments and vanity – are (jaaro = burnt) overcome.

The mind does not (aaey) come and (jaaey) go, i.e. remains steady at (ih) this place (jah) where (aasan-u) seat of (nirankaaro) the Formless Master is, i.e. remains focused within. 1.

Ėkai pargat ekai gupṯā ekai ḏẖunḏẖūkāro. Āḏ maḏẖ anṯ parabẖ so▫ī kaho Nānak sācẖ bīcẖāro. ||2||31||54||

 

(Eykai) the One is (patagatt-u) manifest- in gross form – as well as (gupta) hidden – in subtle form within – in creation and also (ddhundhookaaro = darkness) when there is no creation.

(Soi) the same One (prabh-u) Almighty was present (aad-i = in beginning) before creation came into being, is present (madh-i = middle) through existence of creation, and (ant-i) at the end when Creation ends; this is (saach-u) the true (beechaaro) thought/understanding, i.e. God is Eternal, says fifth Nanak. 2. 31. 54.

Sārag mėhlā 5.  Bin parabẖ rahan na jā▫e gẖarī.  Sarab sūkẖ ṯāhū kai pūran jā kai sukẖ hai harī. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. It is (na jaaey) not possible (rahan-u) to exist (bin-u) without (prabh) the Almighty even for (ghari) a short while – one falls to vices.

(Sarab) all (sookh) comforts are (pooran) complete, i.e. all aspirations are fulfilled, of one (ja kai) who has (sukh-u) peace attained by presence of (hari) God within – for then s/he does not transgress and hence does not suffer.

Awareness of God, (roop) the embodiment of (mangal) happiness, is (dhan) the wealth/guide of (praan jeevan) life; there is (ghanaa) abundant (anad/anand) happiness (simrat = in remembering) in being conscious of the Almighty – because then no wrong-doings are committed and no grief experienced.

The Almighty (vadd = great) is supremely (samrath-u) potent, and (sadaa sad) forever (sangey) with the creatures; (kavan) what all virtues of the Almighty can one (rasna) tongue (bhanaa = say) recount? 1.

 

ਥਾਨ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਮਾਨ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਸੁਨਨ ਕਹਨਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਭਵਨ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਜਾ ਮਹਿ ਸੰਤ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥੨॥੩੨॥੫੫॥

Those (thaan) places where God is praised (pavitra) are sanctified; those who (maan) believe/obey God are (pavitra) pure as are those who (sunanan) listen and (kahanhaarey) those who say/praise God.

(Tey) those (bhavan) houses (ja mah-i) in which (tumhaarey) Your (sant = saints) devotees reside, i.e. the holy congregations, are (pavitra) pure, says fifth Nanak. 2. 32. 55.

O God, (tumah-i) You are (khajeena = treasure) the source of wealth and (tumah-i) You are also (jareena/zar = money) the wealth; and You are (maanik) the rubies and (laala) jewels.

You, (paarjaat = a wish-fulfilling tree) the fulfiller of wishes, are (paaey) found (tey = from) with guidance of (gur) the guru; and when found, (tau) then one (bhaey) is (nihaala) happy – relieved of all troubles – says fifth Nanak. 2. 33. 56.

One (jo) who (hovat) is (cheyro) servant (ko) of (kaahoo) someone, s/he (jaavai) goes (pah-i) to (tthaakur hi) the master only – I am Your servant/devotee, and rely only on You o Almighty. 1.

One relates (dookh) suffering as well as (sookh = comfort) happiness (pah-i) to (apuney) one’s own; one tells (birtha = pain of mind) the state of mind to one’s own – for me it is You, o Almighty.

One has (maan-u) pride on one’s own, relies on (taana) strength of one’s own and can expect (artha) finances from the own – You are the source of all these for me, o Almighty. 1.

(Kaapar) good attire, (sugandh) fragrances and (chaturaaee) cleverness – all signs of ego – (mithiaa = false) have no value in the hereafter as do not (bhojan) food and (paan) drinks – they are all left here on death. 1.

Fifth Nanak (bhaio) has become (mukta) free from influence of temptations (peykhat = seeing, darsan-u = sight) by joining (saadhsangat-i) the holy congregation – where virtues and commands of the Almighty are recounted and learnt to practice -, (bhori) for a short while. 2. 37. 60.

Death (hario = abducts) takes away the soul (tey) from (oohi) here, i.e. from one body and (ley dhario) places (ooha = there) in another body, (jaisey) like (baasaa) the hawk (deyt = gives/does, jhaattuli = snatch with jerk) suddenly snatches (maas) meat from one place and eats elsewhere, i.e. death will suddenly come.

(Andhuley = blind) you are blinded by attachment to comforts and (bisaario) have forgotten (deyvanhaar = giver) the Almighty who provided these; you should be (jio) like (safri) a traveler who (bharai = fills, udar-u = belly) eats (bah-i) sitting at (haattuli = shop) a restaurant, i.e. does not get attached to the shop, be similarly prepared to leave. 1.

You commit (bikaar) vices for (saad = taste) pleasure, but (bikaar) vices give (jhootth) false (ras = taste) pleasure, i.e. they cause retribution with suffering; remember (baattuli) the path to (tah) there (jah) where you are (jaano) to go, is (bheer) narrow, i.e. you cannot escape scrutiny and consequences.

(Samajh-u) understand (rey) o (iaaney) unmindful person, (teyri) your (gaantthuli) bundle will (khulhai) open and the soul leave, i.e. death may come, (aaj-u = today, kaal-i = tomorrow) anytime, says fifth Nanak. 2. 38. 61.
