NOTE: This Shabad has the setting of a wife wanting to act as she likes and still hope to win the love of her spouse. She is advised on what she needs to do. This is a metaphor for how the soul-wife can unite with the God-husband. The Shabad is addressed to one’s own soul.

ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਸੁਣਿ ਸੁਣਿ ਕਾਮ ਗਹੇਲੀਏ ਕਿਆ ਚਲਹਿ ਬਾਹ ਲੁਡਾਇ ॥ ਆਪਣਾ ਪਿਰੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਹੀ ਕਿਆ ਮੁਹੁ ਦੇਸਹਿ ਜਾਇ ॥

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Siriraag (Sun-i sun-i) listen o soul-woman (gaheyleeay) in grip of (kaam) desires, (kiaa) why do you (chalah-i) go about (luddaaey) waving your (baah) arms, i.e. the careless human being only wants to enjoy the objects of pleasures provided by the Almighty, but does not obey the Master.
You do not (pachhaanhi) understand liking of (aapna = own) your (pir-u) Almighty-husband, (kiaa) what (muh-u) face will you (deysah-i = give) show (jaaey) on getting to Divine court, i.e. you do not acknowledge and obey the Almighty and will cut a sorry figure when evaluated in Divine court.

(Sakhee’n = girlfriends) the soul-women (jini) who (pachhaaniaa) understand and obey (kant-u) the Almighty Master, I wish to (laagau) touch (tin kai) their (paaey) the feet, i.e. respect them and follow their example.

O Almighty, please (meyl-i) lead me to (milaaey) find their (satsangat-i) holy company so that I (thee raha) become (jaisi) like (tin hi) them. 1.

O (mundhey) soul-woman, you (mutthee = cheated) are enticed (koorr-i = false/impermanent) by transitory relations and pleasures and become (koorriar-i = false) unfathful, i.e. do not obey the Creator.

Remember, (prabh-u) the Almighty (pir-u) husband is (saacha) Eternal and (sohna = handsome) treasure of virtues; IT (paaeeai) is found within (beechaar-i) by reflecting on (gur) the guru’s teachings. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਕੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਈ ਤਿਨ ਕਿਉ ਰੈਣਿ ਵਿਹਾਇ ॥ ਗਰਬਿ ਅਟੀਆ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਜਲਹਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥

(Manmukh-i) self-willed/egoistic soul-women do not (pachhaanaee) understand (kant-u) the Almighty-husband, one wonders (kiau) how do (tin) they (vihaaey) pass (rain-i = night) life.

They are (atteeaa) full (garab-i) of ego, (jalah-i) burn in the fire of (trisna) craving/desires and (paavah-i) experience (dukh-u) grief pursuing (doojai) other (bhaaey) ideas, than obeying the Almighty.

The soul-women (vihooni) bereft of (giaan) awareness of Naam – commit vices and – (muteeaa) are separated from (pir-u) the Almighty-husband; they (na jaaey) cannot (paaiaa) ereceive (piram-u) love.

Being of (agiaan) ignorant (mati) mind, there is (andheyr-u) darkness in mind and the Almighty cannot be seen; their (bhukh = hunger) craving, i.e. restless-ness, does not (jaaey) leave (bin-u) without (deykhey) seeing (pir-u) the Almighty-husband.

ਆਵਹੁ ਮਿਲਹੁ ਸਹੇਲੀਹੋ ਮੈ ਪਿਰੁ ਦੇਹੁ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਪਿਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੩॥

One who (karey-i = make, door-i = far) dispels (haumai) ego, (paaiaa) finds (apna) her (var-u = spouse) Almighty-husband (ghar-i = in house) in the mind.

Then I decide to (bhaau kar-i) lovingly (seyvi = serve) follow instructions of (satigur-u) the true guru and request to (deyh-u milaaey) lead (mai) me to (pir-u) the Almighty-husband.

O (meyrey) my (man) mind, (sukh-u) peace (hoey) comes (ratey) by being imbued with love (naam-i) of the Almighty.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਧਰਮ ਰਾਇ ਨੋ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਹੈ ਬਹਿ ਸਚਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਦੁਸਟੁ ਆਤਮਾ ਓਹੁ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਰਕਾਰ ॥

(Dharam Raaey) the metaphoric judge in Divine court has (hukam-u) orders to (bah-i) sit and (beechaar-i) consider deeds of the creatures with (sachaa = true) Divine (dharam-u = law) laws.

ਮਨ ਕੇ ਬਿਕਾਰ ਮਨਹਿ ਤਜੈ ਮਨਿ ਚੂਕੈ ਮੋਹੁ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ॥ ਆਤਮ ਰਾਮੁ ਪਛਾਣਿਆ ਸਹਜੇ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਨੁ ॥

Man ke bikār manėh ṯajai man cẖūkai moh abẖimān Āṯam rām pacẖẖāṇi▫ā sėhje nām samān

Such a person (tajai) gives up/dissolves (bikaar) vices (kai) of the mind (manah-i) in the mind itself; his/her (moh-u) fascination for temptations in the world-play and (abhimaan) vanity (chookai) ends.

Then (raam-u) the Almighty (aatam) within (pachaaniaa) is recognised/found and one remains (samaan-u) absorbed (naam-i) in Naam (sahjey = naturally) all the time.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਫਿਰੈ ਦਿਵਾਨੁ ॥ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਚੀਨੈ ਕਥਨੀ ਬਦਨੀ ਕਰੇ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਨੁ ॥੩॥

(Mukat-i) freedom from vices, and hence rebirth, is not (paaeeai) attained (bin-u) without following (satigur) the true guru; (manukh-i) a self-willed person (phirai = wanders) pursues vices like (divan-u) a mad person, i.e. in ignorance.

S/he does not (cheenai) understand (sabad-u = word) Divine commands, (karai = does, kathni badni = talking) tries to impress by talking but (samaan-u) remains caught in (bikhiaa) vices – hence cannot find God and remains in cycles of births and deaths. 3.

ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਹੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਬੋਲਾਏ ਤਿਉ ਬੋਲੀਐ ਜਾ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਲਾਏ ਸੋਇ ॥

The Almighty (aapey = self) alone is what (aap-i = self) IT is, there is (na koey = not any) none (dooja = second) other like the Almighty.

Being present in every-one, we (boleeai) speak (tiau) that way (jiau) as God (bolaaey) causes to speak; and it happens (ja) when (soey = that one) the Almighty (aap-i) IT-self (bulaaey) causes to say; we cannot say anything else.

(Baani) words (gurmukh-i) of the guru the guru are those of (brahm-u) the Almighty; one (hoey) attains (milaava) union with the Almighty (sabad-i = with the word) with obedience to the guru’s teachings.

O human being, keep (samaal-i = take care) remember (naam-u) Divine commands, (seyviai = by serving) by obeying (jit-u) which, – one does not transgress and – (sukh-u) comfort of union with the Almighty (hoey) is attained, says third Nanak. 4. 30. 63.

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Siriraag. (Jag-i = world) the human being (paaiaa) experiences (dukh-u) grief because of (mail-u = dirt) vice of (haumai) ego/acting by self-will; this (mal-u) dirt/vice (laagi) sticks/afflicts by – ignoring Divine commands and – following (doojai = second) other ideas.

This (mal-u) dirt of (haumai) ego is (kivai na) in no way (utrai) removed (dhoti) by washing the body, even if one (naaey) bathes at (sau) a hundred (taarath) holy places, i.e. by rituals

ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਦੇ ਦੂਣੀ ਮਲੁ ਲਾਗੀ ਆਇ ॥ ਪੜਿਐ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਗਿਆਨੀਆ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

People (kamaavdey) perform (karam) rituals of (bah-u) numerous (bidh-i) types with that (dooni) double (mal-u = dirt) ego (aaey) comes and (laagi) sticks, i.e. ego/pride increases.

This (mail) dirt is not (utrai) removed (parreeai) by reading; you can (jaaey) go and (poochhah-u) ask (giaaneea) the learned, i.e. who reflect within. 1.

ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਿ ਆਵੈ ਤਾ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਥਕੇ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਸਕੀ ਧੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Man mere gur saraṇ āvai ṯā nirmal ho▫e Manmukẖ har har kar thake mail na sakī ḏẖo▫e||1|| rahā▫o

O (meyrey) my (man) mind, it is only when one (aavai) comes (saran-i = sanctuary) in care and obedience of the guru, (ta) then (hoey) is (nirmal-u) cleansed, i.e. is rid of ego.

(Manmukh) those who act by self-will (thakey = get tired) keep (kar-i) saying (har-i har-i) mantras but (na saki) cannot (dhoey) wash off (mal-u = dirt) ego from the mind – which comes by understanding/obeying Naam/Divine commands. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

ਮਨਿ ਮੈਲੈ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੈਲੇ ਮੈਲੇ ਮੁਏ ਜਾਸਨਿ ਪਤਿ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

Man mailai bẖagaṯ na hova▫ī nām na pā▫i▫ā jā▫e Manmukẖ maile maile mu▫e jāsan paṯ gavā▫e

Awareness of Naam/Divine commands (na jaaey) cannot be (paaiaa) obtained, and (bhagat-i = devotion) obedience to the Almighty is not (hovaee = happen) possible in (man) a mind (mailey) polluted with ego.

(Manmukh) those acting by self-will are (mailey = dirty) afflicted by ego (muey = die) fall prey to vices and (jaasan-i) shall go to Divine court (gavaaey) losing (pat-i) honour, i.e. are presented as transgressors.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਲੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਜਾਇ ਸਮਾਇ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਅੰਧੇਰੈ ਦੀਪਕੁ ਬਾਲੀਐ ਤਿਉ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨਿ ਅਗਿਆਨੁ ਤਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

Gur parsādī man vasai mal ha▫umai jā▫e samā▫e Ji▫o anḏẖerai ḏīpak bālī▫ai ṯi▫o gur gi▫ān agi▫ānṯajā▫e ||2||

Naam (vasai) abides (man-i) in mind (parsaadi) with grace/guidance of the guru and (haumai) ego (jaaey) gets (samaaey) dissolved within.

(Jiu) like (deepak-u) a lamp (baaleeai) is lit to remove (andheyrai) darkness, (giaan-i) awareness of Naam imparted by the guru (tajaaey) gets rid of (agiaan-u) ignorance of the mind. 2.

ਹਮ ਕੀਆ ਹਮ ਕਰਹਗੇ ਹਮ ਮੂਰਖ ਗਾਵਾਰ ॥ ਕਰਣੈ ਵਾਲਾ ਵਿਸਰਿਆ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

(Ham) we human beings are (moorakh= foolish) ignorant and (gaavaar) uninformed if we say (ham) we (keeaa) did this we or (karahgaey) shall do this.

(Karnai vaala = doer) the Omnipotent Almighty is forgotten because (piaar-u) love (doojai) other (bhaaey) ideas.

I have (bhav-i = wandered) seen (sabh-i) the whole (sansaar-u) world, i.e. asked people and learnt that here is no cause of (dukh-u) suffering (jeyvadd-u) as big as (maaiaa) acting by self-will.

(Sukh-u) comfort/peace is (paaeeai) attained (gurmati) by following the guru’s counsel to (ur dhaar-i) keep in mind/obey (sach-u = true) the inevitable (naam-u) Divine commands. 3.

ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਮੇਲੇ ਸੋ ਮਿਲੈ ਹਉ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੈ ਜਾਉ ॥ ਏ ਮਨ ਭਗਤੀ ਰਤਿਆ ਸਚੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਿਜ ਥਾਉ ॥

One (jis no) whom the Almighty (meyley) leads, (so) that person finds the guru; I (balihaarai) adore (tis-u) that person.

When (aey) this human (man) mind (ratiaa) is imbued with (bhagti) devotion by (sach-u) true (baani) words/teachings of the guru to obey Naam, it remains in (nij) own (thaau) place, i.e. is focussed on Naam within without wavering.

ਮਨਿ ਰਤੇ ਜਿਹਵਾ ਰਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਸਚੇ ਗਾਉ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਸਚੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਉ ॥੪॥੩੧॥੬੪॥

Man raṯe jihvā raṯī har guṇ sacẖe gā▫o Nānak nām na vīsrai sacẖe māhi samā▫o ||4||31||64||

One whose (man-i) mind is (ratey) imbued, his/her (jihva) tongue is also (rati) imbued, and (gaau = sings) praises (gun) virtues of (sachey) the Eternal (har-i) Almighty – and one emulates them.

S/he does not (veesrai) forget Naam and (samaau) merges (maah-i) in (sachey) the Eternal, says third Nanak. 4. 31. 64.
