Composition of the fourth Guru in Raag Malaar. (Har-i) the Almighty is (agam-u) beyond reach/comprehension and (agochar-u) not perceived by the senses – so is hard to find; but is (laiaa = taken) experienced with (ootam-u) the sublimely efficacious (jap-i) remembrance and practice of (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands; one does this (tey) with (kirpa) kindness of (har-i) the Almighty – to motivate from within.

(Oey) they (aap-i) themselves (tarey = swim) remain above vices and (taari) ferry (sabh) all (sristt-i) universe, i.e. everyone; (bhi) also (sabh-u) all (kul-u = lineage) those who follow them (paiaa = land, paar-i = on far shore) get across the world-ocean of vices, and reach God. 3.

Those who do not (peeaa) drink (amrit-u) the nectar, i.e. do not live by the life-giving Naam or Divine virtues and commands, (parsaadi = with grace) with guidance of (gur) the guru, their (trisna) thirst and (bhookh) hunger, i.e. craving for objects of transitory pleasures/gain does not (jaaee = go) leave them.

(Manmukh) self-willed persons who do not follow the guru, are (moorrh) foolish; such (ahankaari) vain persons (jaley) burn in the fire of desires; acting (vich-i) in (haumai) ego, they transgress and (paaee) come to (dukh-u) grief.

ਆਵਤ ਜਾਤ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ਦੁਖਿ ਲਾਗੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਈ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਉਪਜੇ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਨ ਚੇਤਹਿ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣੁ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਖਾਈ ॥੧॥

They do not (cheytah-i = keep in mind) acknowledge and obey the Creator (tey) from (jis) whom they (upjey) were created; such (jeevan-u) a life is (dhrig-u) disgraceful and disgraceful is (khaaee) to eat – enjoy the comforts – without acknowledging the Giver. 1.

(Janam-u) human birth of (manmukh) a self-willed person – who does not obey God and the guru – (bhaiaa) is (birtha) wasted; s/he (lajaaee) is shamed by being denied union with God and being put in cycles of (aavat = coming) births and (jaat = going) deaths.

Such (abhimaani) proud persons (ddoobey) drown in the world-ocean of vices (kaam-i) of lust and (krodh-i) anger; they act (vich-i) in (haumai) ego – by acting by self-will and – (jali jaaee) are burnt down/perish in the fire of restlessness/desires by.

Har kā nām agocẖar pā▫i▫ā gurmukẖ sahj subẖā▫ī.  Nām niḏẖān vasi▫ā gẖat anṯar rasnā har guṇ gā▫ī.

(Har-i) the Almighty is (agochar-u) not perceived by the senses, but may be known with awareness of Naam or Divine virtues and commands; (gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru (paaiaa) obtains awareness of Naam (sahj-i subhaaee) naturally/effortlessly.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਸਦ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਈ ॥ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਅਰਪਿ ਰਖਉ ਸਭੁ ਆਗੈ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਣੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਈ ॥ Saṯgur ṯe har har man vasi▫ā saṯgur ka▫o saḏ bal jā▫ī.  Man ṯan arap rakẖa▫o sabẖ āgai gur cẖarṇī cẖiṯ lā▫ī.

People go (naaee/nhaaee) to bathe and take (majan) dip (attsatth-i) at the sixty eight (teerath-i) places of pilgrimage – but this only cleans the body. However when (dhoor-i) dust of the feet (ki) of (satsangat-i) holy congregation (udd-i) flies and (pari) falls in (neytri) the eyes, i.e. when in holy congregation one learns to live by Naam or commands of the Almighty, then (mail-u) the dirt of (durmat-i) evil thinking (gaavaai = lost) is removed. 1.

(Rahaau) Dwell on this and reflect.

ਜਾਹਰਨਵੀ ਤਪੈ ਭਾਗੀਰਥਿ ਆਣੀ ਕੇਦਾਰੁ ਥਾਪਿਓ ਮਹਸਾਈ ॥ ਕਾਂਸੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨੁ ਚਰਾਵਤ ਗਾਊ ਮਿਲਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਸੋਭਾ ਪਾਈ ॥੨॥

Jāharnavī ṯapai bẖāgīrath āṇī keḏār thāpi▫o mėhsā▫ī.  Kāʼnsī krisan cẖarāvaṯ gā▫ū mil har jan sobẖā pā▫ī. ||2||

(Tapai = austere) the ascetic (bhaageerath-i) Bhageerath (aani) brought (jaaharnavi) the river Ganga, and (mahsaaee) Mahesh/Shankar (thaapio) established (Keydaar-u) Kedar Nath – as place of pilgrimage.

(Kaansi) Kashi/Banaras associated with Shiva, and Vrinda Van where Krishna (charaavat) grazed (gaaoo) the cows, became places of pilgrimage; they (paaee) have attained (sobha = glory) importance (mil-i = on meeting) due to visits of (jan = servants) devotees of (har-i) the Almighty. 2.

ਜਿਤਨੇ ਤੀਰਥ ਦੇਵੀ ਥਾਪੇ ਸਭਿ ਤਿਤਨੇ ਲੋਚਹਿ ਧੂਰਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਕੀ ਤਾਈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਸੰਤੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਧੂ ਲੈ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਧੂਰਿ ਮੁਖਿ ਲਾਈ ॥੩॥

(Jitney = as many) all (teerath) places of pilgrimage (thaapey) established/connected with (deyvi) goddesses/gods; (titney = that many) all those (lochaey) long (taaee) for (dhoor-i) dust (ki) of the feet of (saadhoo) God’s devotees.

When (sant-u = saint) a seeker of (har-i) God (milai) meets (gur) a great (saadhoo) devotee of God, s/he (lai) takes (dhoor-i) the dust of the feet (ki = of, tis = that) of the devotee and (laaee) applies (mukh-i) on the face, i.e. learns from and follows the example of the devotee. 3.

ਜਿਤਨੀ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸਭ ਤਿਤਨੀ ਲੋਚੈ ਧੂਰਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਕੀ ਤਾਈ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਲਾਟਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਾਧੂ ਧੂਰਿ ਦੇ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਲੰਘਾਈ ॥੪॥੨॥

(Jitni = as many) all (sristt-i) universes that (tumri = your) have been created by You, (meyrey) my (suaami) Master, (sabh) all (titni = that many) those (lochai) long (ki taaee) for (dhoor-i) dust of the feet of (saadhoo) the devotee of God.

One in (jis-u) whose (lilaatt-i = on forehead) fortune it (hovai) is (likhiaa) written to find God, (har-i) the Almighty (dey) gives (dhoor-i) dust of the feet of the devotees, to enable him/her to overcome vices and (langhaaee) ferries him/her (paar-i = far shore) across the world-ocean, says fourth Nanak. 4. 2.

ਮਲਾਰ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਹਰਿ ਮੀਠ ਲਗਾਨਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੈ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਭੂਖ ਦੂਖ ਸਭਿ ਉਤਰੈ ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਹਰਿ ਉਚਰੈ ॥੧॥

Malār mėhlā 4.  Ŧis jan ka▫o har mīṯẖ lagānā jis har har kirpā karai.  Ŧis kī bẖūkẖ ḏūkẖ sabẖ uṯrai jo har guṇ har ucẖrai. ||1||

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Malaar. One to (jis-u) whom (har-i har-i) the Almighty (kirpa karai) is kind – to motivate from within – (tis-u) that (jan-u) person (lagaana) finds (har-i) the Almighty (meetth = sweet) lovable, i.e. lovingly obeys Divine commands.

One (jo) who (uchrai = utters) remembers and emulates (gun) virtues of (har-i) the Almighty, (sabh-i) all (ki = of, tis = that) his/her (bhookh = hunger) craving and (dookh) faults/wrong-doings (utrai) are removed. 1.

Jap man har har har nisṯarai.  Gur ke bacẖan karan sun ḏẖi▫āvai bẖav sāgar pār parai. ||1|| rahā▫o.

O (man = mind) human being, (jap-i) remember (har-i har-i har-i – thrice) the Almighty in thought, word and deed (nistarai = swims) gets across the world-ocean with it. One who (sun-i) listens to (bachan = words) instructions (key) of (gur) the guru and (dhiaavai) pays attention to them, s/he (pavai) gets to (paar-i) the far shore of (bhav) the world (saagar-u) ocean, i.e. overcomes vices, unites with God and is not reborn. 1.

(Rahaau) Dwell on this and reflect.

ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਕੇ ਹਮ ਹਾਟਿ ਬਿਹਾਝੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਮਿਲਿਆਂ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਭ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਹਰੈ ॥੨॥

Ŧis jan ke ham hāt bihājẖe jis har har kirpā karai.  Har jan ka▫o mili▫āʼn sukẖ pā▫ī▫ai sabẖ ḏurmaṯ mail harai. ||2||

One on (jis-u) whom (har-i har-i) the Almighty (kirpa karai) is kind  – to motivate from within to live by Divine commands – (ham) I am a slave (key) of (tis-u) that (jan) person (bihaajey) purchased (haatt-i) from the shop.

One (paaeeai) experiences (sukh-u) peace (miliaa-n) on meeting (kau) with (jan = servant) a devotee of (har-i) God, as his/her company (harai) removes (sabh) all (mail-u) dirt of (durmat-i) evil thinking. 2.

ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਹਰਿ ਭੂਖ ਲਗਾਨੀ ਜਨੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤੈ ਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਬਿਚਰੈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਜਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਜਲ ਕਾ ਮੀਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਸਰਤ ਫੂਟਿ ਮਰੈ ॥੩॥

Har jan ka▫o har bẖūkẖ lagānī jan ṯaripṯai jā har gun bicẖrai.  Har kā jan har jal kā mīnā har bisraṯ fūt marai. ||3||

(Har-i) the Almighty’s (jan = servant) seeker (lagaani = develops) has (bhookh = hunger) yearning for (har-i) the Almighty; (jan-u) the seeker (triptai = satiated) is satisfied (ja) when s/he (bichrai = utters) recounts, thinks of and emulates (gun) virtues of the Almighty, i.e. that is the way to find the Almighty.

(Jan-u) a seeker of (har-i) the Almighty is like (meena) a fish (ka) of (har-i = God, jal = water) the God-water – lover of God’s virtues, s/he (phoott-i = breaks, marai = dies) is restless if s/he (bisrat) forgets God from the mind, like the fish out of water. (the fifth Guru says: Too dareeaau daanaa beena mai machhuli kaisey ant lahaa; jah jah deykha tah tah toohai tujh tey niksi phoot maraa. O God You are like a river and I a fish in it; I die if I come out of (forget) You. You know and see every thing. Wherever I look I find You. You are so vast I cannot know your limits; SGGS p 25. 3.

ਜਿਨਿ ਏਹ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਲਾਈ ਸੋ ਜਾਨੈ ਕੈ ਜਾਨੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਧਰੈ ॥ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਹਰਿ ਦੇਖਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਸਭ ਤਨ ਕੀ ਭੂਖ ਟਰੈ ॥੪॥੩॥

Jin eh parīṯ lā▫ī so jānai kai jānai jis man ḏẖarai. Jan Nānak har ḏekẖ sukẖ pāvai sabẖ ṯan kī bẖūkẖ tarai. ||4||3||

The Almighty (jin-i) who (laai) creates (eyh) this (preet-i = love) yearning (so = that) the Almighty (jaanai) knows – as to who loves God, (kai) or that person knows in (jis-u) whose (man-i) mind God (dharai = places) creates it.

Says fourth Nanak: (Jan-u = servant) the seeker (paavai) gets (sukh-u) peace/satisfaction (deykh-i = seeing) obtaining vision of (har-i) the Almighty within; (sabh) all (bhookh = hunger) craving (ki) of his/her (tan) body – for transitory pleasures – (ttarai = goes away) ends. 4. 3.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Malaar. (Jitney = as many) all (jeea jant) creatures (prabh-i) the Almighty (keeney) creates, (titney = that many) all of them have (kaar) their tasks/duties (likhaavai = written) allotted (sir-i = on the head) for each of them.

(Har-i) the Almighty (deenh) gives (vaddaaee = greatness) ability (kau) to (jan-u = servant) the devotee of (har-i) God to carry out the task on which (har-i) the Almighty puts him/her, i.e. gives awareness of Naam or Divine commands. 1.;

Saṯgur har har nām ḏariṛ▫āvai.  Har bolhu gur ke sikẖ mere bẖā▫ī har bẖa▫ojal jagaṯ ṯarāvai. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Satigur-u) the true guru (drirraavai) gives firm understanding of Naam/commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty.

O (meyrey) my (bhaaee) brothers, (sikh) disciples of (gur) the guru, (bolhu = utter) remember and obey Naam of (har-i) the Almighty; (har-i) the Almighty (taraavai) ferries – those who obey Naam – across (jagat-u) the world (bhaujal-u = world ocean) ocean of vices – and unites with IT-self. 1.

(Rahaau) Dwell on this and reflect.

(Jan-u) the person (jo) who (poojey = worships) respects and (seyvey = serves) obeys (gur kau) the guru, (so) that (jan-u) seeker (bhaavai) is approved by (har-i) the Almighty Master (meyrey = my) of all.

(Poojahu = worship) respectfully obey (satigur-u) the true guru’s teaching of (seyva = service) compliance with commands (ki) of (har-i) the Almighty; (aap-i = self) the Almighty (kar-i kirpa) kindly (taraavai) ferries – those who obey – across the world-ocean. 2.

Those (agiaani) unaware of Naam, (andhuley = blind) blindly follow (bharam-i) erroneous beliefs; they (bhram-i bhram-i = keep wandering) go about (toraavai) plucking (phool) flowers – to offer to idols.

They (poojah-i) worship (nirjeeo) the life-less idols, or (sareyvah-i) worship at (marra) tombs, and (gavaavai = lose) waste (sabh) all (ghaal) efforts (birthi) in vain. 3.

(Satigur-u) the true guru (kaheeai = is called) is (so) that person who (bindey) knows (brahm-u) Almighty; he (sunaavai = causes to hear) gives awareness of virtues and commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty to all.

(Sat-i = true, kar-i = consider) have faith in, obey and serve with (chhaadan) clothes, (sanchahu) serve (bhojan) food (mukh-i = in mouth) to eat, (paatt pattambar) silk/expensive clothes of (bahu) many (bidh-i) types to wear (kau) to (tis-u) that guru; then (tott-i) shortfall in (tis-u) that (punn) good deed does not (aavai) occur, i.e. obeying and serving the guru is the sublime deed. 4.

 (Satigur-u) true guru (jo) who (sunaavai = causes to hear) gives awareness of (amrit) life giving (bachan) words, i.e. Naam, is (partakh) the direct manifestation of (moorat-i = picture) embodiment of (har-i) the Almighty and (deyau = god) worthy of worship/obedience.

(Bhaag) the fortune of (tis) that (jan) person is (bhaley) good (jo) who (laavai) focuses (chit-u) mind on (charni = serving at feet) on obedience of (har-i) the Almighty, says fourth Nanak. 5. 4.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Malaar. Those (kai = of, jinh = who) in whose (heerai) mind teachings of (meyra) my (satigur-u) true guru (basio = abide) are remembered and obeyed, (tey) they are (bhaley) good (sant) saints of (bhal = good) a practical (bhaant-i) type.

O brethren, (giaani = learned) learn the guru’s teachings to (bolhu = utter) remember and obey commands of (har-i) the Almighty (din-u) day and (raat-i) night – in all activities. Those (jo) who (khaant-i = eat) drink (raam = God) the Divine (ras-u) elixir, i.e. live according to Divine virtues and commands, (gurmat-i) guided by the guru, (sabh) all (ki = of, tinh = them) their (trisna) craving for transitory pleasures/gains (utri) removed – ends. 1.

(Rahaau) Dwell on this and reflect.

ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਦਾਸ ਸਾਧ ਸਖਾ ਜਨ ਜਿਨ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਲਹਿ ਜਾਇ ਭਰਾਂਤਿ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਜਲ ਦੁਧ ਭਿੰਨ ਭਿੰਨ ਕਾਢੈ ਚੁਣਿ ਹੰਸੁਲਾ ਤਿਉ ਦੇਹੀ ਤੇ ਚੁਣਿ ਕਾਢੈ ਸਾਧੂ ਹਉਮੈ ਤਾਤਿ ॥੨॥

(Daas = servants) devotees (key) of (har-i) the Almighty are such (saadh) accomplished saints and (sakhaa jan) companions (jin = whom, milia = meeting) in whose company (bhraant-i = in delusion) wandering in mistaken beliefs (lah-i jaaey) is removed.

(Jio) like (hansula – a swan-like bird) the Hans (bhinn bhinn) separates (jal) water from milk, (chun-i) picks/selects milk and (kaaddhai = takes out) rejects water, (tio) similarly (saadhoo) a seeker of the Almighty (chun-i) picks and (kaaddhai) removes (taat-i = heat) the fire/evil of (haumai) self-importance – forgetting God and acting by self-will – and to live by Naam. 2.

ਜਿਨ ਕੈ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਤੇ ਕਪਟੀ ਨਰ ਨਿਤ ਕਪਟੁ ਕਮਾਂਤਿ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਕਉ ਕਿਆ ਕੋਈ ਦੇਇ ਖਵਾਲੈ ਓਇ ਆਪਿ ਬੀਜਿ ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਖਾਂਤਿ ॥੩॥

Those in (kai = of, jin = whom) whose (hirdai) mind there is no (preet-i) love for (har-i) the Almighty, i.e. who do not obey Divine commands, (tey = those) such (nar) persons (nit) ever (kamaa’nt-i) practice (kapatt-u) deceit – indulge in vices but claim to be pious.

(Kiaa) what can (koi) anyone (dey-i) give them (khavaalai = cause to eat) to eat, i.e. no one can help them; (oey) they act by (aap hi) themselves, and (khaa’nt-i = eat) reap what they (aap-i = self) themselves (beej-i) sow, i.e. they do not take guidance and others’ prayers for them do not work. 3.

Whatever (chihan-u = sign) are attributes (ka) of (har-i) the Almighty (soee) the same are also of (jan = servant) devotee of (har-i) the Almighty; because the Almighty (rakhaa’nt-i) places (aapey) the Self (mah-i) in (jan) the devotee.

(Dhann-u dhann-u) the blessed Guru (samdarsi = with one sight) treats everyone equally; and (jin-i) who (tari = swim across) rises above (ninda) slander and (ustat-i = praise) sycophancy and (taraa’n-i = ferries across) guides others to do so, says fourth Nanak. 4. 5.
