(Koee) some (virla) rare (gurmukh-i) who follows the guru (boojhai) understands that the Creator (rahiaa samaaee = is contained) is found with awareness/understanding (sabdey = of the word) Divine commands/Naam.

One (ratey) imbued (naam-i) with Naam, (rahai) lives (liv = mind, laaee = fixed) with focus on practice of Naam/virtues and commands (saach-i) of the Almighty – s/he does not does not transgress; hence has no apprehensions – and (sadaa) ever (paavai) experiences (sukh-u) peace. 1.

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਹੁ ਜਨ ਭਾਈ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਮਨੁ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਸਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਅਘਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Har har nām japahu jan bẖā▫ī.   Gur parsāḏ man asthir hovai an▫ḏin har ras rahi▫ā agẖā▫ī. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (jan = servants) seekers, my (bhaaee) brethren, (japahu) remember and obey (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = greening) rejuvenating Naam/Divine virtues and commands.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਇਸੁ ਜੁਗ ਕਾ ਲਾਹਾ ਭਾਈ ॥ ਸਦਾ ਜਨ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਸਚਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਈ ॥੨॥

One who (laaee) focuses (chit-u) the mind (naam-i) on Naam (sach-i) of the Eternal, (mail-u) dirt of vices does not (laagai = touch) stain him/her; (jan) the seeker is (sadaa) ever (nirmal) clean – free of vices. 2.

 

ਸੁਖੁ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ਨਾਮਿ ਵਡੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥ ਅਖੁਟ ਭੰਡਾਰ ਭਰੇ ਕਦੇ ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵਹੁ ਭਾਈ ॥੩॥

A wife feels happy adorning herself to please her husband. (Satiguru) the true (dikhaaiaa) shows/gives awareness of Naam/Divine virtues and commands; living (naam-i) by Naam is (seegaar-u) the adornment that brings (sukh-u) peace – of experiencing the Almighty within; it is (vaddi) the sublime (vaddiaaee) virtue.

(Bhanddar) stores of Naam within everyone are (bharey) full, and are (kadey na) never (tott-i = shortage, aavai = comes) exhausted; (sadaa) ever (seyvhu = serve) obey Naam of (har-i) the Almighty, i.e. conform to Naam, o (bhaaee) brethren. 3.

O human being, (too) you should (sadaa) ever (dhiaaey) pay attention to Naam, (deeaa dikhaaey) as shown, i.e. as made aware, (satigur-i) by the true guru, says third Nanak. 4. 1.

Please (rakh-u) keep me (vich-i) in (aapney = own) Your (bhaaney) will/obedience, o (suaami) Master; (deyh-i) grant me (vaddiaaee) the glory of living (naamo) by Naam.

(Jo) what (too) You (karah-i) do, (su) that (hovai) happens, o (kartey) Creator; (avar-u na) nothing else (jaaee) can (karna) be done by anyone.

They (veechaar-u) reflect/act on (sabdi = with the word) on teachings of (gur) the guru and thus Naam ever stays fresh in their minds; this taste/experience is (sadaa) ever (meetthaa = sweet) enjoyable and never becomes (pheeka) insipid, i.e. the fervor of Naam never wears out. 2.

 

ਜਿਨਿ ਮੀਠਾ ਲਾਇਆ ਸੋਈ ਜਾਣੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਟਹੁ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਈ ॥ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਲਾਹੀ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਈ ॥੩॥

(Teyri) Your (sarnaaee) sanctuary/protection from temptations is (sachi = true) forever, o revered Almighty; (oh) that neither (ghattai) reduces nor (jaaey = goes) withdrawn.

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Prabhaati.  O human being, (sadaa) ever (dhiaavhu) pay attention to/live in obedience to (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (gurmukh-i) with the guru’s guidance, (jab lag-u) as long as you have (jeea) soul and (praan) breaths/life in the body.

(Man-u) the mind (hoaa) is (nirmal-u = clean) freed of other ideas (sabdi = with the word) with guidance of the guru, and (abhimaan-u) vanity (man-i) of the mind – which is an impediment to finding God – (chooka) ends.

(Janam-u) human birth (keyra) of (tis-u) that (praani) person who (samaan) is absorbed/leads life (naam-i) by Naam/virtues and commands, is (saphal) fruitful, i.e. s/he makes use of the opportunity provided by human birth to unite with the Creator. 1.

Those who (pachhaarran-i) recognize (mool-u = root) the Creator within, (tin-u) their (vaasaa) abode is in (nij) own (ghar-i) home, i.e. they remain steady with focus on the Almighty and do not look elsewhwre.

(Kamal-u = lotus flower) the mind (pargaasiaa = blossoms) is enlightened (sabad-i) with words/teachings (kai) of the guru to see the Creator within, and one (khoee = loses) gives up (durmat-i = evil counsel) the evil of (haumai) ego – forgetting God and acting by self-will.

(Eyko) the same One (sach-u) Eternal Master (vartai) is present (mah-i) in (sabhna) all, but (koee) some (virla) rare person – who follows the guru – (boojhai) recognizes God’s presence within and without. 2.

One whose (man-u) mind (hoaa) becomes (nirmal-u = clean) free of other ideas, s/he (vakhaanai = says) proclaims and lives by (amrit-u) the life-giving (tat-u) essence – Naam/Divine virtues and commands.

With Naam of (har-i) the Almighty (sadaa) ever (vasiaa) abiding (man-i) in mind; his/her (man-u) mind (maanai) is agreeable (vich-i) in (man) the mind (hi) itself, i.e. maintains focus on Naam and does not waver.

I (sad) ever (balihaari = am sacrifice, vittahu = to) adore (apuney = own) my (gur) guru, (jit-u) with whose guidance, the mind (pachaanai) recognizes presence of (aatam) the all-pervasive (raam-u) Almighty. 3.

One who does not (seyviaa = serve) obey (satiguru) the true guru in (maanas) human (janam-i) birth – to live by Naam -, s/he (gavaai = loses) wastes (janam-u) human birth (birtha) in vain.

When the Almighty (karey) bestows (nadar-i = sight of grace) grace, i.e. is kind, then IT (meyley = causes to meet) leads to (satigur-u) the true guru; (taa-n) then with his guidance, one remains (sahjey) naturally (samaaiaa) absorbed in/lives in obedience to Naam (sahj-i) steadfastly.

One with (poorai) good (bhaag-i) fortune (dhiaaiaa) pays attention to Naam, and (milai) receives (vaddiaaee) glory – of attaining union with the Creator, says third Nanak. 4. 5.

(Eyko) the One (prabh-u) Almighty (poor-i rahiaa) is present (ghatt-i ghatt-i) in every being; and (pargatt-u) manifests to one who (gurmukh-i) follows the guru to live by (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = makes green) rejuvenating Naam/Divine virtues and commands. 1. ==

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਗੁਪਤਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਲਜੁਗਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਤਿਨਾ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਆ ਜੋ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਭਜਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੨॥

Gupṯā nām varṯai vicẖ kaljug gẖat gẖat har bẖarpūr rahi▫ā.  Nām raṯan ṯinā hirḏai pargati▫ā jo gur sarṇā▫ī bẖaj pa▫i▫ā. ||2||

 

Naam is (gupta) hidden but (vartai = acts) controls everything (vich-i) in (kaljug-i) the age of conflicts; (har-i) the Almighty is (bharpoor rahiaa) present (ghatt-i ghatt-i) in every being.

The Naam (ratan-u) jewel (pragattiaa = manifests) shows up in (hirdai) minds of (tinaa) those who (bhaj-i = run, paiaa = place) place themselves in (sarnaaee = sanctuary) guidance of the guru. 2.

 

ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਪੰਚ ਪੰਚੇ ਵਸਿ ਆਣੈ ਖਿਮਾ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ ਸੋ ਧਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਵਡ ਪੂਰਾ ਜੋ ਭੈ ਬੈਰਾਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ॥੩॥

Inḏrī pancẖ pancẖe vas āṇai kẖimā sanṯokẖ gurmaṯ pāvai.  So ḏẖan ḏẖan har jan vad pūrā jo bẖai bairāg har guṇ gāvai. ||3||

 

One who (paavai) receives (gurmat-i) the guru’s counsel (vas-i = under control, aanai = brings) restrains (panch) the five (indri) sensory and (pach) five vices of lust etc. s/he acquires virtues of (khimaa) forgiveness/tolerance (santokh-u = contentment) being happy with Divine will.

(So) that (jan-u = servant) devotee of (har-i) the Almighty (dhan-u dhan-u) is highly blessed and (poora) accomplished who (gaavai = sings) praises and emulates (gun) Divine virtues (bhai = fear) with reverence and (bairaag-i) yearning for the Almighty. 3.

 

ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਮੁਹੁ ਫੇਰੇ ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਕਹਿਆ ਨ ਚਿਤਿ ਧਰੈ ॥ ਕਰਿ ਆਚਾਰ ਬਹੁ ਸੰਪਉ ਸੰਚੈ ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੈ ਸੁ ਨਰਕਿ ਪਰੈ ॥੪॥

Gur ṯe muhu fere je ko▫ī gur kā kahi▫ā na cẖiṯ ḏẖarai. Kar ācẖār baho sampa▫o sancẖai jo kicẖẖ karai so narak parai. ||4||

 

(Jey) if (koee) someone (pheyrey) turns (muh-u) face away (tey) from (gur) the guru, and does not (dharai) keep (kahaiaa) bidding of the guru (chit-i) in mind.

And (kar-i) performs (aachaar) rituals for display of piety, but acts to (sanchai) gather (bahu) more and more of (sampau) wealth; (jo kichh-u) whatever rituals s/he (karai) does are of no use; s/he (parai) is put (narak-i) in hell, i.e. denied union with the Creator and sent for reincarnation. 4.

 

ਏਕੋ ਸਬਦੁ ਏਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਸਭ ਏਕਸੁ ਤੇ ਉਤਪਤਿ ਚਲੈ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਇ ਰਲੈ ॥੫॥੬॥

Ėko sabaḏ eko parabẖ varṯai sabẖ ekas ṯe uṯpaṯ cẖalai.  Nānak gurmukẖ mel milā▫e gurmukẖ har har jā▫e ralai. ||5||6||

 

There is (eyko) only One (prabh-u) Almighty Master and (eyko) one Divine (sabad-u = word) writ (vartai) applies (sabh) everywhere; (utpat-i) the creation (chalai = moves) functions (tey) with (eykas-u) the one writ – cosmic laws.

One whom the Almighty (meyl-i = causes to meet) leads to receive and live (gurmukh-i) by the guru’s guidance, that (gurmukh-i) follower of the guru (jaaey) goes and (ralai) merges in (har-i har-i) the Almighty, says third Nanak. 5. 6.

ਪ੍ਰਭਾਤੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਣਾ ਸਾਲਾਹਿ ॥ ਪੂਰਾ ਭਾਗੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੁਖਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਹਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Parbẖāṯī mėhlā 3.   Mere man gur apṇā sālāhi.   Pūrā bẖāg hovai mukẖ masṯak saḏā har ke guṇ gāhi. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Prabhaati. O (meyrey) my (man) mind, (saalaah-i = praise) acknowledge and obey (apna = own) Your guru. Remember, the guru is found by one who has (poora = perfect) good (bhaag-u) fortune written (mukh-i = on face, masatak-i = on forehead) in destiny, s/he (gaah-i) praises and emulates (gun) virtues (key) of (har-i) the Almighty with the guru’s guidance. 1.

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਦੇਇ ॥ ਕੋਟਿ ਮਧੇ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਲੇਇ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਅਪਣੀ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥੧॥

Amriṯ nām bẖojan har ḏe▫e.   Kot maḏẖe ko▫ī virlā le▫e.  Jis no apṇī naḏar kare▫i. ||1||

 

(Har-i) the Creator (dey-i) gives (amrit) the life-giving (bhojan-u) food of Naam/directions on the role in life and is present in the mind; but (koee) some (virla) rare person (madhey) in (kott-i) crores (ley-i) takes, i.e. gets awareness of Naam, (no) on (jis-u) whom, the Almighty (karey-i) bestows (nadar-i) grace – to lead to the guru. 1.

 

ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਣ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਵਸਾਇ ॥ ਦੁਖੁ ਅਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਅੰਦਰਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਸਾਚਾ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

Gur ke cẖaraṇ man māhi vasā▫e.  Ḏukẖ anĥerā anḏrahu jā▫e.   Āpe sācẖā la▫e milā▫e. ||2||

 

When one (vasaaey = causes to abide) keeps (charan = feet) instructions of the guru (maah-i) in (man) mind; (dukh-u) pain caused by committing transgression (aneyhra = darkness/ignorance) due to being oblivious of Naam, (jaaey) leaves (andrahu) from within and one lives by Naam. Then (saachaa) the Eternal Master (laey milaaey) unites (aapey) with IT-self. 2.

 

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਿਉ ਲਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥ ਐਥੈ ਓਥੈ ਏਹੁ ਅਧਾਰੁ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਵੈ ਸਿਰਜਨਹਾਰੁ ॥੩॥

Gur kī baṇī si▫o lā▫e pi▫ār.   Aithai othai ehu aḏẖār.  Āpe ḏevai sirjanhār. ||3||

 

One should (laaey) bear (piaar-u) love (sio) for (baani = words) guidance of the guru – to live by Naam. (Eyhu) this is (adhaar-u) the mainstay for being at peace (aithai) here and (othai = there) in the hereafter. (Sirjanhaar-u) the Creator (deyvai) grants peace/union (aapey) on IT’s own – no efforts/rituals are needed. 3.

 

ਸਚਾ ਮਨਾਏ ਅਪਣਾ ਭਾਣਾ ॥ ਸੋਈ ਭਗਤੁ ਸੁਘੜੁ ਸਜਾਣਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਸ ਕੈ ਸਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਣਾ ॥੪॥੭॥੧੭॥੭॥੨੪॥

Sacẖā manā▫e apṇā bẖāṇā.  So▫ī bẖagaṯ sugẖaṛ sojāṇā.   Nānak ṯis kai saḏ kurbāṇā. ||4||7||17||7||24||

 

One whom (sachaa) the Eternal (manaaey) causes to happily accept (apna = own) IT’s (bhaana) will; (soee) that person is (sugharr-u) an accomplished and (sojaana = well-informed) wise (bhagat-u) devotee – s/he is accepted for union by the Creator. Third Nanak (sad) ever (kurbaana = is sacrifice, kai = to) adores – and follows – (tis) that person. 4. 7. 17. 7. 24.
