Composition of the fifth Guru on Raga Maajh. Obedience to (ammrit = not dying) obviates succumbing to vices and (naamu) Naam/Divine commands ever keeps the mind (nirmaleeaa = clean) purified.

It (biddaaran hareeaa) keeps one away from (dookh = faults) vices and (sukhdaee) brings peace.

I have (chakhi) tasted/tried (sagely) all (avari) other (saad = tastes) methods and (deykhey) seen/found that (hari) Divine (rasu = taste) experience, i.e. living by Divine commands is (meettha) sweeter/more satisfying (tey) than (sabh) all. 1.

ਜੋ ਜੋ ਪੀਵੈ ਸੋ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਵੈ ॥ ਅਮਰੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੋ ਨਾਮ ਰਸੁ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ ਨਾਮ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਜਿਸੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਨਿ ਵੂਠਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੨॥

Jo jo pīvai so ṯaripṯāvai.   Amar hovai jo nām ras pāvai.   Nām niḏẖān ṯisėh parāpaṯ jis sabaḏ gurū man vūṯẖā jī▫o. ||2||

(Jo jo) whosoever (peevai) drinks this elixir – obeys Naam – (so) that person (triptaavai) is satisfied – and looks nowhere else. One who (paavai) gets (rasu = taste) experience of obeying Naam (hovai) is (amaru) immortal, does not fall prey to vices.

But (nidhaan = treasure) the wealth of awareness of Naam (prapati) is received (tisahi) by that person in (jisu) whose (mani) mind (sabadu = word) teachings of the guru(voottha) abide/are remembered. 2.

ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੋ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਅਘਾਨਾ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਾਦੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੋ ਨਾਹਿ ਡੁਲਾਨਾ ॥ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੀਠਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥

Jin har ras pā▫i▫ā so ṯaripaṯ agẖānā.   Jin har sāḏ pā▫i▫ā so nāhi dulānā.   Ŧisėh parāpaṯ har har nāmā jis masṯak bẖāgīṯẖā jī▫o. ||3||

One who (paaiaa) receives (hari) Divine (rasu = taste) experience is satisfied; one (jini) who (paaiaa) gets (hari) Divine (saadu = taste) experience, (so) that person cannot (ddolaana = cause to waver) be misled/tempted.

But awareness of (hari = dispels vices) the purifying and (hari = makes green) rejuvenating (naama) commands (prapati) is obtained (tisahi) by that person in (jisu) whose (mastaki) forehead/destiny (bhaageettha) good fortune it has been written by the Creator. 3.

ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੁ ਹਥਿ ਆਇਆ ਵਰਸਾਣੇ ਬਹੁਤੇਰੇ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਲਗਿ ਮੁਕਤੁ ਭਏ ਘਣੇਰੇ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਵਿਰਲੀ ਡੀਠਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੪॥੧੫॥੨੨॥

Har ikas hath ā▫i▫ā varsāṇe bahuṯere.   Ŧis lag mukaṯ bẖa▫e gẖaṇere.   Nām niḏẖānā gurmukẖ pā▫ī▫ai kaho Nānak virlī dīṯẖā jī▫o. ||4||15||22||

Awareness of (hari) Divine virtues and commands (aaiaa) comes (hathi) in hand, i.e. is possessed by (ikasu = one) the true guru and (bahuteyrey) numerous people (varsaaney) benefit from his guidance. (Ghaneyrey) plenty of people (bhaey) become (mukati) free of vices (lagI = attaching) by following (tisu = that) the true guru.

Awareness of (nidhaana = treasure) the wealth of awareness of Naam (paaeeai) is obtained (gurmukhi) with the guru’s teachings; (virli) some rare (ddeettha) is seen to follow the guru, (kahu) says fifth Nanak. 4. 15. 22.
