ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੪ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਰਤੇ ਲੋਇਣਾ ਗਿਆਨ ਅੰਜਨੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ ਮੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਜਣੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਹਜਿ ਮਿਲੇਇ ॥੧॥

salōk maਃ ੪. hari prabh ratē lōiṇā giān añjanu guru dēi. mai prabhu sajaṇu pāiā jan nānak sahaji milēi.੧.

 

(Slok) prologue (M: 4) by the fourth Guru. Those whom (gur-u) the guru (dey-i = gives) administers (anjan-u) inner-eye medicine of (giaan) awareness of Naam/Divine virtues and commands, their inner (loina) eyes, i.e. minds (ratey) are imbued with love for (har-i) the Almighty (prabh) Master.

(Mai) I (paaiaa) found (prabh-u) Almighty (sajan-u) friend – who is within; God (miley-i) was found (sahj-i) easily this way, says (jan = servant) humble fourth Nanak. 1. 

 

ਮਃ ੪ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਹੈ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਚਿਤਵੈ ਨਾਮੋ ਪੜੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਹੈ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪਾਈਐ

maਃ ੪. guramukhi antari sānti hai mani tani nāmi samāi. nāmu chitavai nāmō paṛai nāmi rahai liv lāi. nāmu padārathu pāīai chintā gaī bilāi.

 

(Slok) prologue (M: 4) by the fourth Guru. (Gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru has (saant-i) peace (antar-i) within; his/her (man-i) mind and (tan-i) body (samaaey) remain absorbed (naam-i) in Naam, i.e. s/he is conscious of Naam in thoughts and deeds.

S/he keeps Naam (chitvai) in mind, (parrai) reads (naamo) about Naam, and (rahai) remains (laaey = fixed, liv = attention) absorbed – conducts the self – (naam-i) by Naam.

When (pdaarath-u = substance) the valuable awareness of Naam (paaeeai) is obtained – one acts as one should and all (chinta) anxiety (gaee) goes (bilaaey) away.

 

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਨਾਮੁ ਊਪਜੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਭੁਖ ਸਭ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੇ ਰਤਿਆ ਨਾਮੋ ਪਲੈ ਪਾਇ ॥੨॥

satiguri miliai nāmu ūpajai trisanā bhukh sabh jāi. nānak nāmē ratiā nāmō palai pāi.੨.

 

Awareness of Naam (oopjai) comes (miliai) on meeting (satigur-i) the true guru, then (sabh) all (trisna) thirst and (bhukh) hunger (jaaey) leaves, i.e. one is not driven by desires.

Those (ratiaa) imbued (naamey) with Naam (palai paaey) receive/find (naamo) the Almighty within, says fourth Nanak. 2.

 

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਤੁਧੁ ਆਪੇ ਜਗਤੁ ਉਪਾਇ ਕੈ ਤੁਧੁ ਆਪੇ ਵਸਗਤਿ ਕੀਤਾ ॥ ਇਕਿ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਕਰਿ ਹਾਰਾਇਅਨੁ ਇਕਨਾ ਮੇਲਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਤਿਨਾ ਜੀਤਾ ॥

pauṛī. tudhu āpē jagatu upāi kai tudhu āpē vasagati kītā. iki manamukh kari hārāianu ikanā mēli gurū tinā jītā.

 

(Paurri) stanza by the fourth Guru. O Almighty, (tudh-u) You (aapey) Yourself (uppaey kai = having created) created (jagat-u) the world and (keeta) kept it (vasgat-i) under control of (apey) Your-Self.

You (kar-i) made (ik-i = one type) some creatures (manmukh) self-willed – who do not obey You – and (haaraaian-i) caused them to lose – the fight against vices; You (meyl-i = cause to meet) lead (ikna) some to the guru; (tina) they (jeeta) win the fight against vices.

 

ਹਰਿ ਊਤਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨਿ ਸਭਾਗੈ ਲੀਤਾ ॥ ਦੁਖੁ ਦਾਲਦੁ ਸਭੋ ਲਹਿ ਗਇਆ ਜਾਂ ਨਾਉ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਦੀਤਾ ॥ ਸਭਿ ਸੇਵਹੁ ਮੋਹਨੋ ਮਨਮੋਹਨੋ ਜਗਮੋਹਨੋ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਗਤੁ ਉਪਾਇ ਸਭੋ ਵਸਿ ਕੀਤਾ ॥੧੧॥

(Har-i = greening) the rejuvenating Naam of (har-i prabh) the Almighty Master is (ootam-u) sublime; its awareness is (leeta) obtained with the guru’s (bachan-i = word) guidance (sabhaagai) by good fortune.

(Sabho) all (dukh-u) pain and (daalada-u = poverty) misery (lah-i gaiaa) is removed/got rid of, (jaa-n) when the guru (deeta) gives awareness of (naau) Naam of (har-i) the Almighty.

Let us (sabh-i) all (seyvhu = serve) obey (mohano) the fascinating, (jagmohnai) enchanter of the world (jin-i) who (upaaey) created (jagat-u) the world and (keeta = made) keeps (sabho) everything (vas-i) under control of IT-self. 11.

(Slok) prologue (M: 4) by the fourth Guru. (Manmukh) self-willed persons – who do not obey God – have (rog-u) the disease of (haumai) ego, such (durjanaa) evil persons (bhooley) are misled (bhram-i) by delusion – that obedience to God is not necessary.

This (rog-u) malady (vanjnaaey = lost) is given up – and God obeyed – (mil-i) on meeting and following (sajna) the friend/helpful (satigur) true guru (saadhoo) saint, says fourth Nanak. 1.

(Slok) prologue (M: 4) by the fourth Guru. (Man-u) the mind and (tan-u) body (sagaarava) make me proud (jaa-n) if I (deykhaa-n) see (har-i) the Almighty (nainey) with my eyes, i.e. my thoughts and deeds are approved if they lead to union with the Almighty.

(Mai) I wish (milai = meets) to find (so = that) the One (prabh-u) Almighty; (hau) I (jeeva) live, i.e. look forward to, (suney) hearing (sad-u) the call for union, and for that practice Naam, says fourth Nanak. 2.

O (meyrey = my, gursikhahu = Sikhs of the guru) Sikhs of my guru, (dhaiaavhu) pay attention/act by (naam-u) virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty; (har-i) the Almighty is (ootam-u = sublime) Supreme and awareness of Naam/virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty is (amol-u) priceless – not obtained by material offerings.

Those (jin-i) who (dhiaaiaa) pay attention (hirdai) in mind – and live by Naam – (dinas-u) day and (raat-i) night; they (miley) find God, there is no (rol-u) doubt in this.

 

ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪੂਰਾ ਬੋਲੁ ॥ ਸਭਿ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ਨਰ ਨਾਰਾਇਣੋ ਨਾਰਾਇਣੋ ਜਿਤੁ ਚੂਕਾ ਜਮ ਝਗੜੁ ਝਗੋਲੁ ॥੧੨॥

vaḍabhāgī saṅgati milai gur satigur pūrā bōlu. sabhi dhiāvahu nar nārāiṇō nārāiṇō jitu chūkā jam jhagaṛu jhagōlu.੧੨.

 

(Vaddbhaagi) it is with good fortune that (sangat-i) the holy congregation (milai) is found where (poora) perfect – the wish fulfilling – (bol-u = word) guidance of (gur) the great (satigur) true guru – to obey the Almighty – is received.

Let us all (dhiaavhu) invoke and obey (naaraaino, naaraaino = refuge, nar = men/creatures) the Almighty, by (jit-u) which (jhagarr-u = conflict, jhagol = fight) having to deal with (jam) Divine justice (chooka = ends) is obviated. 12.

(Har-i jan) the devotees keep (liv) attention on (har-i) the Almighty, the arrow (phir-i) turns round to (maar) hit (tis-u) that person (jin) who (sandhiaa) aimed the arrow at the devotees, i.e. the Almighty protects the devotees and those who wish ill for them are themselves harmed. 1.

If the eyes (deykhdey) see (dooja = second) something other power, they should (kaddh-i dichan-i) taken out, i.e. those who believe otherwise can never find God, says (jan) humble fourth Nanak. 2

They (sabh-i) all (araadhaday) invoke/look to (tudhai no) You to (deyh-i) give (daan-u) alms, i.e. to provide their needs, o (piaarey) beloved Master.

 

ਹਰਿ ਦਾਤੈ ਦਾਤਾਰਿ ਹਥੁ ਕਢਿਆ ਮੀਹੁ ਵੁਠਾ ਸੈਸਾਰੇ ॥ ਅੰਨੁ ਜੰਮਿਆ ਖੇਤੀ ਭਾਉ ਕਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਮੰਗੈ ਦਾਨੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਧਾਰੇ ॥੨॥

When (daatai = giver) the beneficent (har-i) Almighty (kaddhiaa) takes out (hath-u) the hand – to give alms/benediction, i.e. bestows grace, then (meeh-u) rain (vutthaa) falls (saisaarai) on the world, i.e. the creatures get everything with God’s grace and should obey God.

(Ann-u) the grain (jammiaa) grows (kheyti) in the soil – the farmer gets the reward, similarly the creatures find the Almighty by (bhaau kar-i) lovingly (samhaarey) keeping in mind to live by Naam of (har-i) the Almighty.

(Jan-u) humble fourth Nanak – the seeker – (mangai) asks for (daan-u = alms) the benediction of awareness of Naam of (prabh har-i) the Almighty Master, as (adhaarey) support/guide for life. 2.

We should (araadheeay) invoke/obey (charan = feet) commands of the Almighty (sabad-i = with the word) according to instructions of the guru – (ratnaagar-u) the jewel mine, i.e. source of learning/awareness of Naam.

 

ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਸੰਗਿ ਉਧਾਰੁ ਹੋਇ ਫਾਟੈ ਜਮ ਕਾਗਰੁ ॥ ਜਨਮ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਜੀਤੀਐ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਬੈਰਾਗਰੁ ॥ ਸਭਿ ਪਵਹੁ ਸਰਨਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੀ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਦੁਖ ਦਾਗਰੁ ॥੧੪॥

(Udhaar-u) freedom from vices (hoey) is obtained (mil-i) together (sang-i) in company/with guidance of (saadhoo) the guru; then (kaagar=u = paper) account of deeds kept by (jam) Divine justice (phaattai) is torn, i.e. no faults are found when account of deeds is taken at the end.

(Padaarath-u = substance) the gift of (janam) human birth – to find God – (jeeteeai) is won/obtained (jap-i) by remembrance/obedience of (har-i) the Almighty (bairaagar-u = unattached) who is free of wishes – and thus becoming free of attachments to the world-play.

(Paurri) stanza by the fourth Guru. (Koee) anyone who (gaavai) sings virtues of the Almighty, (ko) anyone who (sunai) listens or (ko) anyone who (uchar-i = says, sunaavai = causes to hear) gives discourse on that;

(mal-u = dirt) the influence of wrong-doings (ki) of (janam janam) birth after birth, i.e. of past lives (utrai) is removed  and s/he (paavai) attains what is (chindia) wished by (man) the mind – to unite with the Creator.

One who (gaavai = sings) praises/emulates (gun) virtues (key) of (har-i) the Almighty, (meytteeai = erases) obviates being in cycles of (aavan-u = coming) births and (jaanaa = going) deaths.

 

ਆਪਿ ਤਰਹਿ ਸੰਗੀ ਤਰਾਹਿ ਸਭ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਤਰਾਵੈ ॥ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਲਿਹਾਰਣੈ ਜੋ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ॥੧੫॥੧॥

āpi tarahi saṅgī tarāhi sabh kuṭambu tarāvai. janu nānaku tisu balihāraṇai jō mērē hari prabh bhāvai.੧੫.੧.

 

S/he (aap-i) him/her-self (tarah-i = swims) gets across and (taraavai) ferries (sabh) the whole (kuttamb-u) family/associates across the world-ocean – of vices.

(Jan-u) humble fourth Nanak – the seeker – (balihaarnai = is sacrifice) adores (tis-u = that) the person (jo) who – acts by Naam and – (bhaavai) is liked/approved by (har-i prabh) the Almighty Master (meyrey = my) of all. 15. 1.

ਰਾਗੁ ਕਾਨੜਾ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਮਦੇਵ ਜੀਉ ਕੀ     ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

rāgu kānaṛā bāṇī nāmadēv jīu kī     ik‐ōṃkār satigur prasādi.

 

(Baani) Composition of (jeeo) revered Namdev in Raga Kaanrra.     Invoking the One all-pervasive Creator who may be known with the true guru’s grace.

 

ਐਸੋ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਇ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ॥ ਜੈਸੇ ਦਰਪਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਬਦਨ ਪਰਵਾਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

aisō rām rāi antarajāmī. jaisē darapan māhi badan paravānī.੧. rahāu.

 

(Raaey = king) the Sovereign (raam) Almighty is present (antarjaami) is present with everyone (aiso) such; (jaisey) as (badan) face (parvaani = accepted) is seen (maah-i) in (darpan) a mirror – of one looking into it, i.e. look within and you will find the Almighty. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਬਸੈ ਘਟਾ ਘਟ ਲੀਪ ਨ ਛੀਪੈ ॥ ਬੰਧਨ ਮੁਕਤਾ ਜਾਤੁ ਨ ਦੀਸੈ ॥੧॥

basai ghaṭā ghaṭ līp n chhīpai. bandhan mukatā jātu n dīsai.੧.

 

The Almighty (basai) dwells with (ghattaa ghatt) everyone but is not (chheepai) stained with (leep) touch of vices in the world-play; God is (mukta) free from bonds to the world, but is not (deesai) seen (jaat-u) to go away from the world – to escape temptations in the world, as some people do, i.e. is ever present. 1.

 

ਪਾਨੀ ਮਾਹਿ ਦੇਖੁ ਮੁਖੁ ਜੈਸਾ ॥ ਨਾਮੇ ਕੋ ਸੁਆਮੀ  ਬੀਠਲੁ ਐਸਾ ॥੨॥੧॥

pānī māhi dēkhu mukhu jaisā. nāmē kō suāmī  bīṭhalu aisā.੨.੧.

 

(Jaisa) like one (deykh-u) sees (mukh-u) face (maah-i) in clear (paani) water; (aisa) so is (beetthal-u) Almighty (suaami) Master (ko) of (naamey) Namdev – of all, is seen within when other ideas are given up. 2. 1.
