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॥

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॥

(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) 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.

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.

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.

One on (jis-u) whom (har-i) the Almighty (aap-i) IT-self (kripa karey) is kind, (so) that person (veychey = sells) dedicates (sir-i) the head/life (aagai) before (gur) the guru.

(jan) humble fourth Nanak (triotiaa) has been satiated by (har-i) Divine (ras-u) elixir, and now (bhookh = hunger) craving does not (laagai) afflict (phir-I = again) any more. 4. 4. 10.48.

(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 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.

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.

ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਕਿਤੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਮਿਲੈ ॥ ਹਉ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਕਰੀ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਿਉ ਮਿਲੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Merā saṯgur pi▫ārā kiṯ biḏẖ milai.   Ha▫o kẖin kẖin karī namaskār merā gur pūrā ki▫o milai. ||1|| rahā▫o.

(Kit) by what (bidhi) method can (meyra) my (piaara) dear (satigur-u) true guru (milai) be found? (Hau) I shall (kari) ay (namaskaar-u) obeisance to the person who advises (kiau) how (meyra) my (poora) perfect (gur) guru may (milai) be found. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲਿਆ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ॥ ਇਛ ਪੁੰਨੀ ਜਨ ਕੇਰੀਆ ਲੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਧੂਰਾ ॥੨॥

Kar kirpā har meli▫ā merā saṯgur pūrā.   Icẖẖ punnī jan kerī▫ā le saṯgur ḏẖūrā. ||2||

(Har-i) the Almighty (kari kirpa) was kind to (meyliaa = caused to meet) lead me to (meyra) my (poora) perfect (satigur-u) true guru. My (ichh = wish) yearning to (ley) take (dhoora) dust of feet of, i.e. to learn from and follow example of, (satigur) the true guru. 2.

ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਸੁਣੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਿਲੀਐ ॥ ਤੋਟਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਹਰਿ ਲਾਭੁ ਨਿਤਿ ਦ੍ਰਿੜੀਐ ॥੩॥

Har bẖagaṯ ḏariṛ▫āvai har bẖagaṯ suṇai ṯis saṯgur milī▫ai.   Ŧotā mūl na āvī har lābẖ niṯ ḏariṛī▫ai. ||3||

One should (miliai) meet (tis-u) that (satigur) true guru who (drirraavai) creates firm understanding of (bhagat-i) dedication/obedience to (har-i) the Almighty and (sunai) listens to enquiries about (har-i bhagat-i) devotion to God.

By (nit) ever (drirreeai) having firm commitment to Divine obedience one obtains (laabh) the benefit of finding (har-i) the Almighty; and one (mool-i) never falls short in obedience. 3.

ਜਿਸ ਕਉ ਰਿਦੈ ਵਿਗਾਸੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਉ ਦੂਜਾ ਨਾਹੀ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੁ ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਉਧਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾਹੀ ॥੪॥੮॥੧੪॥੫੨॥

Jis ka▫o riḏai vigās hai bẖā▫o ḏūjā nāhī.   Nānak ṯis gur mil uḏẖrai har guṇ gāvāhī. ||4||8||14||52||

I am looking for the guru (jis kau) who has (vigaas-u) happiness – with God within and has no (dooja = second) other (bhaau = love0 pursuits.

Fourth Nanak (udhrai) is saved from other ideas (mil-i) on meeting (tis-u) that guru, who (gaavaahi = causes to sing) guides to praise and emulate (har-i) Divine (gun) virtues. 4. 8. 14. 52.
