ਜਪਿਓ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੁਕ ਜਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ॥ ਦਾਲਦੁ ਭੰਜਿ ਸੁਦਾਮੇ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਭਗਤੀ ਭਾਇ ਤਰੇ ॥ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਤਾਰਥੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ॥੧॥

Japi▫o nām suk janak gur bacẖnī har har saraṇ pare.  Ḏālaḏ bẖanj suḏāme mili▫o bẖagṯī bẖā▫e ṯare.  Bẖagaṯ vacẖẖal har nām kirṯārath gurmukẖ kirpā kare. ||1||

(Daalad/daaridr) misery/poverty of the devotee Sudaama (bhanj-i = destroyed) ended when he (miliaa) met – Krishna, metaphor for – the Almighty; all the above (tarey = swam/got across world-ocean) were emancipated because (bhagti) devotion was their (bhaaey) motive.

The Almighty (vachhal-u) loves (bhagat-i) devotion; those who live by (naam-u) virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty are (kritaarath-u) successful; the Almighty (kripa karey) is kind to those (gurmukh-i) who follow the guru’s teachings. 1.

 

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ ਧ੍ਰੂ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦੁ ਬਿਦਰੁ ਦਾਸੀ ਸੁਤੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਤਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Mere man nām japaṯ uḏẖre.  Ḏẖarū par▫hilāḏ biḏar ḏāsī suṯ gurmukẖ nām ṯare. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (meyrey) mind, those who (japat) remember and live by (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands (udhrey) are emancipated – from vices in life and rebirth on death.

The devotees Dhru, Prahilaad, and Bidar (sut-u) the son of (daasi) a maidservant (tarey = swam) got across the world-ocean, i.e. were emancipated by (gurmukh-i) following the guru’s teachings to live (naam-i) by Divine virtues and commands. 1.

ਕਲਜੁਗਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਭਗਤ ਜਨਾ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ ਨਾਮਾ ਜੈਦੇਉ ਕਬੀਰੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਲੋਚਨੁ ਸਭਿ ਦੋਖ ਗਏ ਚਮਰੇ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਗੇ ਸੇ ਉਧਰੇ ਸਭਿ ਕਿਲਬਿਖ ਪਾਪ ਟਰੇ ॥੨॥

Kaljug nām parḏẖān paḏārath bẖagaṯ janā uḏẖre.  Nāmā jaiḏe▫o Kabīr Ŧrilocẖan sabẖ ḏokẖ ga▫e cẖamre.  Gurmukẖ nām lage se uḏẖre sabẖ kilbikẖ pāp tare. ||2||

 

(Kaljug-i) in the age of conflicts/duality, (bhagat = devoted, janaa = people) the devotees (udhrey) are saved through Naam, (pradhaan-u = head) the supreme (padaarath-u = substance) resource.

The devotees, (nama) Namdev, Jaideo/Jaidev, Kabir, Trilochan and (chamrey = cobbler) Ravidas; (sabh-i) all their (dokh = faults) shortcomings (gaey = went) left them because of practice of Naam.

Those who (lagey) apply themselves to living (naam-i) by Naam, (sey) they (udhrey) are saved; as (sabh-i) all their (kilbikh, paap) transgressions (ttarey) are obviated. 2.

 

ਜੋ ਜੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੈ ਅਪਰਾਧੀ ਸਭਿ ਤਿਨ ਕੇ ਦੋਖ ਪਰਹਰੇ ॥ ਬੇਸੁਆ ਰਵਤ ਅਜਾਮਲੁ ਉਧਰਿਓ ਮੁਖਿ ਬੋਲੈ ਨਾਰਾਇਣੁ ਨਰਹਰੇ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਉਗ੍ਰਸੈਣਿ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਈ ਤੋੜਿ ਬੰਧਨ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਰੇ ॥੩॥

Jo jo nām japai aprāḏẖī sabẖ ṯin ke ḏokẖ parhare.  Besu▫ā ravaṯ ajāmal uḏẖāri▫o mukẖ bolai nārā▫iṇ narhare.  Nām japaṯ ugarsaiṇ gaṯ pā▫ī ṯoṛ banḏẖan mukaṯ kare. ||3||

 

(Jo jo) all those (apraadhi = wrongdoers) who are given to committing transgressions, (sabh-i) all (tin key) their (dokh) faults (parharey = kept away) are obviated if they – learn from the guru and as taught by him – (japai = remember) comply with (naam-u) instructions of the Almighty to the soul.

Ajaamal who was (ravat) involved with (beysuaa) a prostitute (udhrio) was saved (bolai) by uttering the name of (naaraain narharey) the Almighty.

ਜਨ ਕਉ ਆਪਿ ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਕੀਆ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਗੀਕਾਰੁ ਕਰੇ ॥ ਸੇਵਕ ਪੈਜ ਰਖੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਗੋਵਿਦੁ ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ
ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰੀ ਉਰ ਧਰਿਓ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰੇ ॥੪॥੧॥

Jan ka▫o āp anūgrahu kī▫ā har angīkār kare.  Sevak paij rakẖai merā goviḏ saraṇ pare uḏẖre.  Jan Nānak har kirpā ḏẖārī ur ḏẖari▫o nām hare. ||4||1||

 

(Har-i) the Almighty (keeaa = done) has always been (anugrahu) kind (kau) to (jan = servants) the devotees and (angeekaar-u karey) takes their side in fight with evil.

(Govind/govind = master of the world) the Almighty (rakhai) preserves (paij) honour of (seyvak = servant) the devotees; whosoever (parey) places the self in IT’s (saran-i) care and obedience, (udhrey) is emancipated.

But only those to whom (har-i) the Almighty (dhaari = bestows, kirpa = mercy) is kind, that person (dhario) keeps Naam of (harey) the Almighty in mind, says humble fourth Nanak. 4. 1.

Shankar/Mahesh, (brhmai) Brahma and (deyvi) the goddess (japio) remember/owe allegiance to the Master; they ever (japiaa) remember Naam/commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty (mukh-i) by mouth – and act on them.

All (jinaa) whose (man) mind is (bheenaa = rinsed) imbued with love of the Almighty, (t-e) those (gurmukh-i) followers of the guru (paar-i paiaa) get across the world-ocean. 2.

 

ਕੋਟਿ ਕੋਟਿ ਤੇਤੀਸ ਧਿਆਇਓ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਤਿਆ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਣ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿਆ ਮੁਖਿ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਇਆ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਸਾਲੁ ਜਿਨਾ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਤੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੩॥

Anaṯ ṯarangī nām jin japi▫ā mai gaṇaṯ na kar saki▫ā.  Gobiḏ kirpā kare thā▫e pā▫e jo har parabẖ man bẖā▫i▫ā. Gur ḏẖār kirpā har nām ḏariṛ▫ā▫i▫o jan Nānak nām la▫i▫ā. ||4||2||

ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਘਰੁ ੩                    ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Mārū mėhlā 4 gẖar 3  Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

 

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Maaroo, (ghar-u 3) to be sung to the third beat.   Invoking the one all-pervasive Creator who may be known with the true guru’s grace/guidance.

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਲੈ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਤਿ ਪਾਇ ॥ ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਲਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਤੇ ਲਏ ਛਡਾਇ ॥ ਜਿਥੈ ਅਵਘਟ ਗਲੀਆ ਭੀੜੀਆ ਤਿਥੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਰਾਇ ॥੧॥

Har har nām niḏẖān lai gurmaṯ har paṯ pā▫e.  Halaṯ palaṯ nāl cẖalḏā har anṯe la▫e cẖẖadā▫e.  Jithai avgẖat galī▫ā bẖīṛī▫ā ṯithai har har mukaṯ karā▫e. ||1||

 

Awareness of (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = makes green) rejuvenating (naam-u) virtues and commands of the Almighty is (nidhaan-u = treasure) the resource to find God; one who (lai) obtains that awareness from the guru, (paaey) finds (har-i) the Almighty (pat-i/patee) Master.

Naam (chalda = walks, naal-i = with) accompanies the soul (halat-i) in here and (palat-i) in the hereafter; it (laey chhaddaaey) delivers (antey = at last moment) when account of deeds is taken,

(jithai) where (galeeaa = streets) the space is (avghatt) difficult and (bheerreeaa) narrow – with no escape route, i.e. one cannot escape Divine justice; (tithai) there (har-i har-i) the Almighty (karaaey) gets one, who has lived by Naam, (mukat-i) freed, i.e. the agent of Divine justice cannot lay hands on one who lives by Naam. 1.

 

ਮੇਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਾ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇ ॥ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੁਤ ਬੰਧਪੋ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਮਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Mere saṯigurā mai har har nām driṛ▫ā▫e.  Merā māṯ piṯā suṯ banḏẖpo mai har bin avar na mā▫e. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

O (meyey) my (satguraa) true guru, please (drirraaey) create firm commitment, for (har-i har-i) the purifying and rejuvenating virtues of the Almighty, in my mind.

The Almighty is (meyra) my (maat = mother, pitaa = father) parents, (sut = son) children and (bandhapo) relatives, i.e. is ever close to me to help; (mai) I do not look to (avar-u) another (bin-u) except (har-i) the Almighty, o my (maaey) mother/teacher – guru. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਰਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਕੋਈ ਆਣਿ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ਮਾਇ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਗੈ ਮੈ ਜੋਦੜੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮੁ ਦੇਇ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ

Mai har birhī har nām hai ko▫ī āṇ milāvai mā▫e.  Ŧis āgai mai joḏ▫ṛī merā parīṯam ḏe▫e milā▫e.  Saṯgur purakẖ ḏa▫i▫āl parabẖ har mele dẖil na pā▫e. ||2||

 

(Mai) my (birhaee = dear) longing is for (har-i) the Almighty, – which is fulfilled through awareness of – (naam-u) virtues and commands of the Almighty; only if (koee) someone can (aan-i) come and (milaavai = cause to meet) make me aware of Naam.

I shall make (joddrri) supplication (aagai = before) to him/her, to (dey-i = cause, milaaey = to meet) lead me to (meyra) my (preetam-u) beloved Almighty Master.

When (purakh-u = person, satigur-u = true guru) the true guru is (daiaal) kind, he (meyley) unites with (har-i) Almighty (prabh-u) Master (na paaey = does not make, ddhil = delay) in no time. 2.  

 

ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਓਇ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੋਨਿ ਭਵਾਈਅਹਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਓਇ ਜਮ ਦਰਿ ਬਧੇ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੩॥

Jin har har nām na cẖeṯi▫o se bẖāghīṇ mar jā▫e.  O▫e fir fir jon bẖavā▫ī▫ah mar jamėh āvai jā▫e.  O▫e jam ḏar baḏẖe mārī▫ah har ḏargėh milai sajā▫e. ||3||

 

Those (jin) who – do not follow the guru, they do not (cheytio) keep in mind to act by – (naam-u) virtues and commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty; (sey) they are (bhaagheen) unfortunate (mar-i jaaey = die) to keep succumbing to vices.

(Oey) they are (bhavaaeeah-i = caused to go round) put in (jon-i) the womb (phir-i phir-i) again and again; they (mar-i) die to (jammah-i) be reborn, (aavai) coming to, and (jaaey) going from, the world.

(Oey) they are (badhey = bound) detained (dar-i = at the place of, jam = Divine justice) by Divine justice and (mareeah-i = hit) pushed away from the Almighty, and (milai) receive (sajaaey) punishment of rebirth (dargah) at the court of (har-i) the Almighty. 3.

 

ਤੂ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਹਮ ਸਰਣਾਗਤੀ ਮੋ ਕਉ ਮੇਲਿ ਲੈਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਧਾਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਜਗਜੀਵਨਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਾਇ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲਾਇ ॥੪॥੧॥੩॥

Ŧū parabẖ ham sarṇāgaṯī mo ka▫o mel laihu har rā▫e.  Har ḏẖār kirpā jagjīvanā gur saṯgur kī sarṇā▫e.  Har jī▫o āp ḏa▫i▫āl ho▫e jan Nānak har melā▫e. ||4||1||3||

 

I (sarnaagti) place myself in care of (too) You, the (prabh-u) Master; please (meyli leyhu) unite (mo kau) me with You, o (raaey = king) Sovereign (har-i) Almighty Master.

O (har-i) Almighty (jagjeevna = life of the world) Creator, please (dhaar-i kripa) be kind to lead me to (sarnaaey) care/guidance of (gur) the great (satigur) true guru.

Ultimately it is when You, (jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty (hoey) are (aap-i = self) Your-self (daiaal-u = compassionate) kind, that IT (meylaaey) unites with IT-self, says (jan) humble fourth Nanak. 4. 1. 3.

(Hau) I am ready (khan khaneeai = be cut into pieces) to do anything at his/her bidding, if s/he (meyley = causes to meet) leads me to be (paas-i) with (har-i) the Almighty (prabh) Master.

(Poorai) the perfect (gur) guru has (drirraaiaa) created firm commitment to Naam of in me; one who has Naam, the Almighty gives him/her (dheerak/dheeraj) solace and (saabaas-i) glory. 1.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ਗੁਰੁ ਮੈ ਦਸੇ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਰਾਸਿ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰੇਮੁ ਨ ਲਭਈ ਜਨ ਵੇਖਹੁ ਮਨਿ ਨਿਰਜਾਸਿ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਪੁ ਰਖਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਬਾਸਿ ॥੨॥

(Preym-u = love) the Beloved cannot (labhaee) be found (bin-u) except with guidance of the guru; O (jan = servants) seekers, reflect (man-i) in mind and you will (nirjaas-i = decide) understand.

(Har-i) the Almighty (rakhiaa) has kept (aap-u) IT-self (vich-i) in the guru; (saabaas-i) glory to the guru who (meyley) enables to find the Almighty. 2.

 

ਸਾਗਰ ਭਗਤਿ ਭੰਡਾਰ ਹਰਿ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਤੁਠਾ ਖੋਲਿ ਦੇਇ ਮੁਖਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਰਗਾਸਿ ॥ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਭਾਗ ਵਿਹੂਣਿਆ ਤਿਖ ਮੁਈਆ ਕੰਧੀ ਪਾਸਿ ॥੩॥

(Saagar = ocean/large) great (bhanddaar = stocks) treasures (bhagat-i) of devotion for (har-i) the Almighty are available (paas-i) with (poorey) the perfect (satigur) true guru.
