ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਸਭਨੀ ਸਹੀ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੁਕਿ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦਿ ਸ੍ਰੀਰਾਮਿ ਕਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਵਿਦੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥ ਦੇਹੀ ਨਗਰਿ ਕੋਟਿ ਪੰਚ ਚੋਰ ਵਟਵਾਰੇ
ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਥਾਉ ਥੇਹੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥

Simriṯ sāsṯar sabẖnī sahī kīṯā suk par▫hilāḏ sarīrām kar gur goviḏ ḏẖi▫ā▫i▫ā.  Ḏehī nagar kot pancẖ cẖor vatvāre ṯin kā thā▫o thehu gavā▫i▫ā.

 

(Sabhni) everyone (sahi keeta) correctly understood that according to Smritis and Shastras, Suk/Sukhdev, Prahlad, and (sriraam-i) revered Rama of the Ramayana (dhiaaiaa) invoked (gur) the guru (kar-i = deeming) as (govid-u) the Almighty.

There are (panch) five (chor) thieves, (vattvaarey = highway robbers) vices – namely lust, anger, greed, attachment to the world-play and vanity (deyhi = body, nagar = town) within; the guru’s teachings (gavaaiaa = lost) removed (tin ka) their (thaau theyhu = place/habitation) presence, dispelled from their minds.

 

ਕੀਰਤਨ ਪੁਰਾਣ ਨਿਤ ਪੁੰਨ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨਿ ਨਾਨਕਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਲਹੀ ॥ ਮਿਲਿ ਆਏ ਨਗਰ ਮਹਾ ਜਨਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਓਟ ਗਹੀ ॥੬॥੪॥੧੦॥

Earlier there used to be (keertan) singing and discourses on the Puranas and importance of (punn) good deeds based on superstitions but now they (lahi) took/learnt (bhagat-i = devotion) living by virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty according to (bachn-i = through words) teachings of (gur) Guru Nanak.

(Mahaa = great) important (janaa) persons of (nagar) the town (mil-i) together (aaey) came and (gahi) took (ott) protection, i.e. paid obeisance, to (gur) the great (satigur-u) true Guru. 6. 4. 10.

ਆਸ ਪਿਆਸੀ ਪਿਰ ਕੈ ਤਾਈ ਜਿਉ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕੁ ਬੂੰਦੇਰੇ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀਅੜਾ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਦੇਹੁ ਦਰਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ॥੨॥

ਨਿਰਗੁਣੁ ਰਾਖਿ ਲੀਆ ਸੰਤਨ ਕਾ ਸਦਕਾ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਢਾਕਿ ਲੀਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਪਾਪੀ ਪੜਦਾ ॥

Dẖākanhāre parabẖū hamāre jī▫a parān sukẖ▫ḏāṯe.  Abẖināsī abigaṯ su▫āmī pūran purakẖ biḏẖāṯe.
