ਗਉੜੀ ਬੈਰਾਗਣਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥

Ga▫oṛī bairāgaṇ mėhlā 4.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri Raagini Bairagan.

Note: This Shabad uses the terms ਸਾਹੁ (Saah-u) meaning a financier or business owner man, and ਵਣਜਾਰੇ (Vanjaarey) meaning traders. The Saahu provides good/merchandise to the traders who buy and sell goods, come back and deposit the sale receipts. Saahu is their master. This has been used in Gurbani as metaphor for God as the financier/ source who gives the capital of virtues to the living beings with which to conduct themselves the souls are evaluated on return to God.

ਸਾਹੁ ਹਮਾਰਾ ਤੂੰ ਧਣੀ ਜੈਸੀ ਤੂੰ ਰਾਸਿ ਦੇਹਿ ਤੈਸੀ ਹਮ ਲੇਹਿ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਣੰਜਹ ਰੰਗ ਸਿਉ ਜੇ ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਦੇਹਿ ॥੧॥

Sāhu hamārā ṯūʼn ḏẖaṇī jaisī ṯūʼn rās ḏėh ṯaisī ham lehi.   Har nām vaṇnjah rang si▫o je āp ḏa▫i▫āl ho▫eḏėh. ||1||

O Almighty, you are (hamaara) our (saah-u) financier and (dhanee) Master (ham) we (leyh-i) receive (taisee) those (raas = capital) resources (jaisee) as (too) You give, i.e. the creatures conduct themselves according to awareness given by the Creator.

We (siau = with, rang = love) lovingly (vanjnah) deal in, i.e. conduct ourselves, according to (naam-u) Divine commands (jey) if You (hoey) are (daiaal-u) kind to (deyh-i) give – the awareness. 1.

ਹਮ ਵਣਜਾਰੇ ਰਾਮ ਕੇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਵਣਜੁ ਕਰਾਵੈ ਦੇ ਰਾਸਿ ਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Ham vaṇjāre rām ke.   Har vaṇaj karāvai ḏe rās re. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Ham) we are the (vanjaarey) traders (key) of (raam) the Almighty. (Har-i) the Almighty (dey) gives (raas-i = money) resources/awareness of Naam/Divine virtues and commands (karaavai = causes to do, vanaj = trade) causes us to conduct ourselves with that. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਲਾਹਾ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਧਨੁ ਖਟਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਸਚੇ ਸਾਹ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਇਆ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਵਖਰੁ ਲਦਿਆ ਜਮੁ ਜਾਗਾਤੀ ਨੇੜਿ ਨ ਆਇਆ ॥੨॥

Lāhā har bẖagaṯ ḏẖan kẖati▫ā har sacẖe sāh man bẖā▫i▫ā.   Har jap har vakẖar laḏi▫ā jam jāgāṯī neṛ naā▫i▫ā. ||2||

(Bhagat-i) devotees of (har-i) the Almighty (khattiaa) earn the profit of imbibing virtues of (har-i) the Almighty and (sachey) the Eternal (sah) Master (Man-i = to the mind, bhaaiaa = liked) is pleased.

They (jap-i) remember/obey (har-i) Divine commands and (ladiaa = load) take with them (har-i) the Divine (vakhar-u) merchandise/virtues; (jaagaati = tax collector) the agent of (jam-u) Divine justice – who prevents the erring souls from union with God, does not (aaiaa) come (neyrr-i) near them. 2.

ਹੋਰੁ ਵਣਜੁ ਕਰਹਿ ਵਾਪਾਰੀਏ ਅਨੰਤ ਤਰੰਗੀ ਦੁਖੁ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਓਇ ਜੇਹੈ ਵਣਜਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਾਇਆ ਫਲੁ ਤੇਹਾ ਤਿਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੩॥

Hor vaṇaj karahi vāpārī▫e ananṯ ṯarangī ḏukẖ mā▫i▫ā.   O▫e jehai vaṇaj har lā▫i▫ā fal ṯehā ṯin pā▫i▫ā. ||3||

(Hor) other (vaapaareeay = dealers) human beings who do not obey the Almighty (vanaj-u = deals, karah-i = do) conduct themselves enticed by (anant tarangi = of numerous waves) multifaceted temptations of (maaia) the world-play resulting in (dukh) suffering. But this is not in their hands (jeyhai) whatever (vanaj-i = dealings) conduct (oey) they are engaged by (har-i) the Almighty, they (paaiaa) receive (phal-u) fruit/consequence (teyhha) accordingly. 3.

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਵਣਜੁ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਕਰੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਦੇਈ ॥ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਫਿਰਿ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਲੇਈ ॥੪॥੧॥੭॥੪੫॥

Har har vaṇaj so jan kare jis kirpāl ho▫e parabẖ ḏe▫ī.   Jan Nānak sāhu har sevi▫ā fir lekẖā mūl na le▫ī. ||4||1||7||45||

(So) that (jan-u) person (karey = does, vanaj = deals) conducts him/her-self by (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = makes green) rejuvenating commands of the Almighty to (jis-u) whom (prabh-u) the Almighty (hoey) is (kripaal-u) kind to (deyee) give.

(jan) humble fourth Nanak (seyviaa = serves) obeys (har-i) the Almighty (saah-u) Master, then God (mool-i na) never (leyee = takes) ask to account for deeds, says (jan) humble fourth Nanak. 4. 1. 7. 45.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri Raagini Bairagan. (Jiau) like an expectant mother (paalti) nurtures (garabh-u) the fetus with the (kar-i aasa) expecting (sut = sun) a child. That when it (vaddaa hoey) grows up s/he (khaat-i) earn (dhan-u) money and (dey-i) give us to (kar-i) make (bhog bilaasa) merry.

(Tiau) similarly (har-i) the Almighty (raakhda = keeps) bears (pre) love for (har-i jan) God’s devotee, (aap-i) IT-self (dey) giving (hathaasaa) the hand, i.e. guiding and helping. 1.

O (meyrey) my (raam) Almighty Master (mai) I am (moorakh = foolish) a transgressor; you are (merey) my (gusaeeaa) Master, please (raakh-u) save me from wrongdoings and their consequences. (Upma) glory of (jan = servants) Your devotees (vaddaeeaa) glorifies (tujhah-i) You – so please put me on the right path. 1.

Pause and contemplate.

When (man-i) the mind (bhaavai) is pleased with (jas-u) glorification of (har-i har-i) the Almighty one’s (mandar-i) house/abode and (ghar-i) mind are (aanad-u) blessed.

(sabh) all (ras) food and drinks (lagah-i) seem (meetthey = sweet) enjoyable (much-i0 in the mouth (ja) if one (gaavai) praises (gun) virtues of (har-i) the Almighty.

Such a (jan-u = servant) devotee of the Almighty (sdhaar-u) is support of (parvaar-u) family, (ikeeh = twenty-one) many (kul) generations and (sabh-u) the whole (jagat-u) world, (chhaddaavai) saves them from temptations of the world. 2.

(Jo kichh) whatever (keeaa) is done/happens (so) that is (keeaa) done (har-i) the Almighty, this is (vaddiaaee) glory of (har-i) the Almighty. O (har-i) Almighty, (jeea) the creatures are (teyrey = your) created by You and (toon) You (vartdaa) are present in them; They (karaaee = get done, pooj = worship) obey (har-i) Divine commands.

You (lahaaidaa) enable them to find (bhanddaar = stores/treasures, bhagat-i = of devotion) Naam/Divine commands within, which (aapey) You (vartaaee) have made applicable. 3.

I am like (laala) a slave (vihaajiaa) bought (haatt-i) at a shop; (tis-u = that) the salve (kiaa = what?) cannot (chaturaee = cleverness) act by self-will.

(Jey) if you (bahaaley) seat me (raaj-i) on the royal throne, I shall be (gulaam-u) slave of (har-i) the Almighty; and I shall (kaddhaaee = given, naam-u = name) be known slave of (har-i) the Almighty.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri Raagini Bairagan. The way (kirsaan-u a farmer (karey) does (kirsaani) farming farm (lochia) fondly and (jeeo laaey) devotedly. He (hal jotai) ploughs the land and (udam = effort, karey = makes) works hard (hal jotai) tills the land and works hard so that (meyra = my) his (put) sons and (dhee) daughters, i.e. the family, (khaaey = eat) is fed.

(Tiau) similarly (har-i) the Almighty (laey chhaddaaey) delivers from rebirth (ant-i) at the end of life, (jan = servant) the devotee who (jap-u karey) remembers and obeys (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = makes green) rejuvenating commands of the Almighty. 1.

O (raam) Almighty Master (meyrey = my) of all, (gat-I keejai) emancipate (mai) me who is (moorakh = foolish) ignorant. Please lead (ham) me to (gur) the enlightener (satigur) true guru and (laaey) engage in (kaam) the task of his (seyva = service) obedience.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਲੈ ਤੁਰੇ ਸਉਦਾਗਰੀ ਸਉਦਾਗਰੁ ਧਾਵੈ ॥ ਧਨੁ ਖਟੈ ਆਸਾ ਕਰੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਵਧਾਵੈ ॥ ਤਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਬੋਲਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਬੋਲਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੨॥

(Saudaagar-u) trader (lai = takes, turey = leaves) carries (sudaagri) the merchandise and (dhaavai = runs) moves all over. He (khattai) earns (dhan-u) money and (aasa karai) wishes for more; his (moh-u) fascination for (maaiaa) money (vadhaavai) increases.

(Tiau) similarly (har-i jan) God’s devotee (bolta = speaks) praises (har-i har-i) the Almighty, and paavai) experiences (sukh-u) peace (bol-i = speaking) by praising and emulating (har-i) Divine virtues. 2.

(Hattvaania) the shop keeper (bah-i) sits (haatt-i) in the shop and (sanchai = gathers) earns (bikh = poison) money unfairly. (Moh) love for (jhootth-u = false) impermanent wealth is (pasaaraa = expanse) caused by (jhootth-u = falsehood) pretentious living, and people (lapttaaey) cling to (jhootthey) pretentious people (lapttaey) cling to it.

(Tiau) similarly (har-i jan-i) God’s devotee (sanchiaa = gathers) earns/imbibes (har-i dhan-i) Divine wealth/Naam and (lai jaaey) takes it as (kharach-u = expense) as the wherewithal/guide to get to (har-i) the Almighty. 3.

ਇਹੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਇ ਦੂਜੈ ਫਾਸ ॥ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਤਰੈ ਜੋ ਦਾਸਨਿ ਦਾਸ ॥ ਜਨਿ ਨਾਨਕਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਰਗਾਸ ॥੪॥੩॥੯॥੪੭॥

(Ih-u) this (moh) love for (maaiaa) money for (kuttamb-u) the family causes to act by (doojai) other (bhaaey) ideas, i.e. causes to transgress, and leads to (phaas) noose of Divine justice. (So) that (jan-u) person (tarai = swims) escapes Divine justice (jo) who becomes (daas) servant of (daasan-i) of servants, i.e. humbly obeys Divine commands (gurmati) with the guru’s guidance.

(jan-i) humble fourth Nanak (dhiaaiaa = pays attention) obeys Naam-u/Divine commands with (pargaas = light) guidance (gurmukh-i) the guru’s teachings. 4. 3. 9. 47.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri Raagini Bairagan. The mortal (karey = does, laalach-u = greed) wants to gather money (dinas-u) day and (raat-i) night and thus (bharmaaiaa) deluded (bharmai) wanders all over.

S/he is like (veygaareeaa) the laborer coolie who (phirai) goes (utthiaa) carrying (bhaar-u) load of others (sir-i) on the head (veygaareeaa) without money, i.e. gathers money only to leave behind for others.

(Jan-u) the person (jo) who (seyva karey = serves) follows the guru, (har-i) the Almighty has (laaiaa) engaged (kamm-i) in work of (ghar) the house, i.e. obeying Naam is for his/her own benefit. 1.

O (meyrey) my (raam) God, please (torr-i) break my (bandhan) shackles of (maaiaa) working for money and (laaey) engage in (ghar kai = of the house, kamm-i = work) pursuit of own benefit, i.e. to obey Naam.

Those who (gaavah-i = sing) praise and emulate (har-i) Divine (gun) virtues, they (samaaey = absorbed) conform to Naam. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

(Nar-u = person, praani = mortal) a person (karey = does, chaakri = service) takes employment (narpat-i, raajey = king) of a king, (sah) all (arth-i) for the sake of (maaiaa) money.

If s/he errs then the king (kai) either (bahdhai = binds) arrests (kai) or (ddan-I ley-i) fines; or (narpat-i) the king (mar-i jaaiaa) dies, i.e. one cannot hope to benefit from mortals.

(Dhann-u dhan-u) blessed and (saphal) fruitful is (seyva) obedience of (satiguru) the true guru by (jit-u) which one (jap-i) remembers and obeys (har-I har-i) the Almighty and (paaiaa) attains (sukh-u) peace. 2.

The businessman Ikeechai) does (sauda) dealings/business in (bah-u) many (bhaat-i) by taking (sood-u) loan on interest (kai taaee) for the sake of making (maaiaa) money.

(Ja) if this (dey-i) gives (laahaa) gain (ta) the s/he (maney) takes (sukh-u) comfort, but (tottai) in case of loss (mar-i jaaee) dies.

(Jo) one who (saajhee karey) shares (gur) Divine virtues (siau) with (gur) the guru, gets awareness of Naam from the guru s/he (nit nit) forever (paaee) experiences (sukh-u) comfort. 3.

(Jitni = as much) more one has (saad = taste) liking for (an) other (ras = tastes) interests, (titin = that much) more (bhookh laagai = feels hungry) one craves for those (phir-i) again.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect. O (meyrey) my (raam) God, (ham) we creatures (paapi) are transgressors, and (parrey) have placed ourselves at (har-i) Divine (duaar-u) gate, i.e. placed myself in care and obedience of (har-i) the Almighty.

(Mat-u = just in vase) hoping You will (dhaar-i) bestow (kirpa) kindness on (ham) us (nirgun) merit-less (mailey = dirty) transgressors – to free from transgressions.

(Hamrey) our (avgun) faults are (bahut-u bahut-u = plenty and plenty) numerous and commit them (baar-i baar-i) again and again; their (ganat) count (na aavai) is not possible.

O har-I har-i) Almighty (toon) You are (gunvanta) treasure of virtues and (daiaal-u) compassionate; please be (bhaavai) pleased/kind to (bakhas laih-i) forgive.

The Almighty (raakhey) placed (ham) us (apraadhi) transgressors (sangti) in congregation of (gur) the guru, who (deeo = gave, updeys-u = counsel) guided that conformance to (naam-u) commands of (har-i) the Almighty (chhaddaavai) delivers from faults – and I follow that. 2.

I (kahaa = say, kiaa = what?) cannot describe (tumrey) your (gun) virtues, (meyrey) my (satigura) true guru; (jab) when (gur-u) the guru (boley) speaks/teaches (tab) then I (ho jaaey) become (bisam-u) ecstatic. (Koee) who (avar-u) else would (raakhey = keep) accept (apraadhi) a transgressor (jaisey) like (ham) me; you alone could do (jaisey) the way (satgur-i) the true guru (raakh-i) accepted as disciple and (leeaay chhaddaaey) delivered me from transgressions.

(Toon) you are (meyra) my (gur) great (pitaa) father and (maata) mother and (gur) great (bandhap-u) relative, (sakhaaee) helpful (sakhaaey-i) companion. 3.

O (meyray) true guru, (tum) you (aapey) yourself (jaanh-u) know (jo) what (hamri) my (bidh-i) state was.

I was (rultey phirtey) going about and (koee na) no one (poochhta = asked, baat-u = state) cared for me; (ham) I (keerrey = worm) a humble person came (sang-) in company of (gur) the great (satigur) true guru and (thaapey) installed – as guru

(Dhann-u dhann-u) great is guru (keyra) of (jan) the humble fourth Nanak, (miliai) by meeting (jit-u) who (sabh-i) all (sog) sorrow and (santaapey) suffering (chookey) ended. 4. 5. 11. 49.

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri Raagini Bairagan. (Jeeo) the mind (hai) is (lubhat-u) engrossed (mah-i) in (Kanchan = gold) wealth and (naari = wife) the family; it finds (moh) love for (maaiaa) money (meetthaa = sweet) enjoyable.

(Ghar = house) property, (mandar) residence, (ghoorrey) horses and (an) other (ras-i) pleasures (laaiaa) engage (man-u) the mind.

(har-i) the almighty (prabh-i) does not (aavaee) come (chit-i) to mind. So, I (kiau = how?) cannot (chhootta) be free from this bondage, o (meyrey) my (har-i) Almighty (raaiaa = kind) Sovereign Master. 1.

You (har-i har-i) the Almighty are (gunvanta) virtuous and (daiaal-u) compassionate; please (kar-I kirpa) be kind to (bakhas-i) forgive (sabh-i) all (meyrey) my (avgan) faults. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

I (kichh-u nahi – not any) do not have (roop-u) good looks, (jaat-I = class) status/capability, (dhhang-u) skill.

I also do not (japiaa) remember and obey (teyra) Your (Naam-u) Naam/commands; (lai = take) with (kiaa) what (muh-u) face can this person (bihoon) devoid of (gun) merits (bolah) speak to You, i.e. ask for Divine grace.

(Ham) I (paapi) a transgressor (ubrey) was saved (sang-i) in company/with guidance of (gur) the guru; it is (punn-u) good turn (keyra) of (satigur) the true guru. 2.

O God, you (deeaa) gave us (sabh-u) everything; (jeeo) soul (pindd-u) body, (much-u) mouth (paani) water (kau) for (vartan) use.

You (deeaa) gave (ann-u = grain) food to (khaana) eat, (kaparr) clothes (painam-u) to wear, and (an) other (ras) objects (bhogaani) to enjoy.

The Creator (jin-i) who (deeay) gave these does not (aavaee) come to mind; (pasoo = animal) the mindless creature (kar-i jaani) considers getting (hau = I) by the self. 3.

(Ham) we (vichaarey) hapless (jant) creatures (karah) do; (sabh-u) all this (tum) Your (kheyl-u) play, o (suaami) Master.

I am (gulam) slave (gulaami) of slaves/devotees of (har-i) the Almighty, like one (vihaajiaa0 bought (haatt-i) from the shop, says fourth Nanak. 4. 6. 12. 50.

(Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Gaurri Raagini Bairagan. (Jiau) like (jananee) the mother (jan-i) gives birth to (sut-u) the son/child and (paalti) nurtures it (raakhai) keeping (majhaar-i) in (nadr-i) sight.

(Tiau) similarly (satigur-u) the true guru (raakha = keeps) looks after (gursikh) the guru’s disciple imparting (preet-i) affection and (piaar-i) love of, i.e. teaches to obey, (har-i) the Almighty. 1.

O ((raam) Almighty Master (meyrey = my) of all, (ham) we (baarik) the children of (har-i) the Almighty (prabh) Master were (iaaney) uninformed.

(Dhann-u dhann-u) great is the guru; my (gur-u) great (satigur-u) true guru, (paadhaa0 the teacher, who (keeay) made (ham) me (siaaney = wise) enlightened with (updeys-u) guidance on obedience to (har-i) the Almighty. 1.

 My God, we are ignorant children of yours. Please enable us to find the guru, (Dhan dhan) I hail (Paadha = teacher) the guru who (Updes de) through his teachings (Kiae siaane) imparts wisdom. 1.

Pause and contemplate.

(Jaisee) like the white flamingo (vaali) of (baagey) white (kaprrey = clothes) feathers (phiranti) wanders (uddti) flying (gagan-i) in the sky.

(Oh) that bird (raakhai) keeps (cheet-u) the mind (bich-i) in (bachrey) its children; (nit) ever (samaali = taking care) thinking of their (saar-i) well-being.

(Tiau) similarly (satigur) the true guru teaches (preet-i) love (ki) of (har-I har-i) the Almighty, and the (gur-u) the guru (rakhai) keeps the Sikh (naali) with (jeea) the mind, i.e. looks after them. 2.

ਜੈਸੇ ਕਾਤੀ ਤੀਸ ਬਤੀਸ ਹੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਰਾਖੈ ਰਸਨਾ ਮਾਸ ਰਤੁ ਕੇਰੀ ॥ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਣਹੁ ਮਾਸ ਕਾਤੀ ਕੈ ਕਿਛੁ ਹਾਥਿ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਵਸਗਤਿ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਕੇਰੀ ॥ ਤਿਉ ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਕੀ ਨਰ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖੈ ਪੈਜ ਜਨ ਕੇਰੀ ॥੩॥

(Jaisee) like the Creator (raakhai) keeps (rasna) tongue of (maas) flesh and (rat-u) blood (vich-i) in (kaati = scissors) teeth numbering (tees) thirty or (bates) thirty-two.

Do (koee) someone may (jaanah-u) think there is (kichh-u) anything (haath-i0 in hands/control of (kaati = scissors) teeth, but (sabh) everything is (vasgat-i) under control (keyri) of (har-i) the Almighty.

(Tiau) similarly if (nar) a person (karah-i = does, nindaa = slander) slanders, i.e. wills ill (ki) of (sant janaa) the devotes, (har-i) the Almighty (raakhaai) preserves (paij) honor (keyri) of (jan = servants) the devotees. 3.

(Jaraa) old age, (maraa) death, (taap) illness, (sirt) headache, (saap, sraap) curse; all (har kai vas hai) are (vas-i) under control (kai) of (har-i) the Divine; (koee na) no one (sakai) can (laag-i) inflict (bin-u) without (laaiaa) being inflicted by the Almighty.

Nit-i) ever (dhiaavh-u) pay attention to (aisaa) such (naam-u) Almighty (jo) who (chhaddaaiaa) can deliver (anti) at end (ausar-i) time, i.e. account of deeds is taken and consequences imposed, says (jan) humble fourth Nanak. 4. 7. 13. 51.
