ਜਿਨ ਕਾ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਤੀ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਕਾਰਜ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਸਵਾਰਿ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਚੂਕੀ ਮੁਹਤਾਜੀ ਲੋਕਨ ਕੀ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਗੀਕਾਰੁ ਕੀਆ ਕਰਤਾਰਿ ॥੨॥

(Tin) their (muhtaaji) dependence on (lokan) other people (chooki) ends as (kartaar-i) the Creator (keeaa = takes, angikaar-u = side) protects them – against vices. 2.

 

ਮਤਾ ਮਸੂਰਤਿ ਤਾਂ ਕਿਛੁ ਕੀਜੈ ਜੇ ਕਿਛੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ॥ ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੋਈ ਭਲ ਹੋਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੁਰਾਰਿ ॥੩॥

We should be sure that (jo) whatever IT (karey) does (soi) that (hosi) will be (bhal) good for us; hence (dhiaavhu) invoke only (muraar-i) the Almighty. 3.

 

ਹਰਿ ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪੇ ਓਹੁ ਪੂਛਿ ਨ ਕਿਸੈ ਕਰੇ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਦਾ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਜਿਨਿ ਮੇਲਿਆ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੪॥੧॥੫॥

Har jo kicẖẖ kare so āpe āpe oh pūcẖẖ na kisai kare bīcẖār.  Nānak so parabẖ saḏā ḏẖi▫ā▫ī▫ai jin meli▫ā saṯgur kirpā ḏẖār. ||4||1||5||

Says fourth Nanak: We should (dhiaaeeai) invoke (so) that (prabh-u) Master, (jin-i) who (kirpa dhaar-i) kindly (meyliaa) leads to (satigur-u) true guru – who enables this understanding. 4. 1. 5.

(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.

 

ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਹਰਿ ਬੋਲਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਲੇ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਣੇ ॥ ਜੋ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਸੁਣੇ ਗੁਰ ਕੇਰਾ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਸੁਖ ਘਣੇ ॥੨॥

Gursikẖ har bolhu har gāvhu le gurmaṯ har japṇe.  Jo upḏes suṇe gur kerā so jan pāvai har sukẖ gẖaṇe. ||2||

 

O (gursikh) guru’s Sikhs/disciples, (bolhu = speak) recount virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty, and (gaavhu = sing) praise and emulate them; (japney) remembering (har-i) the Almighty (ley) taking (gurmat-i) the guru’s counsel/guidance.

One (jo) who (suney) listens to (updeys-u) teaching (keyra) of (gur) the guru – and complies – (so) that (jan) person (paavai) receives (ghaney) abundant (sukh) comforts, i.e. his/her wishes are fulfilled. 2.

 

ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਵੰਸੁ ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਪਿਤਾ ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਮਾਤਾ ਜਿਨਿ ਜਨ ਜਣੇ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਸਾਸਿ ਗਿਰਾਸਿ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸੇ ਸਾਚੀ ਦਰਗਹ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਬਣੇ ॥੩॥

Ḏẖan so vans ḏẖan so piṯā ḏẖan so māṯā jin jan jaṇe.  Jin sās girās ḏẖi▫ā▫i▫ā merā har har se sācẖī ḏargėh har jan baṇe. ||3||

 

(Dhann) blessed is (su) that lineage, (dhann-u) blessed is that (pitaa) father, blessed is that (maata) mother (jin) who (janey) gives birth to (jan = servant) a devotee of God.

Those (jan) devotees of (har-i) the Almighty (baney = befit) are accepted in (dargah) court of (saachi = true) of the Eternal, (jin) who (dhiaaiaa) pay attention to virtues and commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty Master (meyra = my) of all (saas-i) with every breath and (giraas-i) with every morsel of food, i.e. all the time in every activity. 3.

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਅਗਮ ਨਾਮ ਹਰਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਭਗਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਧਰਣੇ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਮਤਿ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਵਣੇ ॥੪॥੩॥੭॥

Har har agam nām har ṯere vicẖ bẖagṯā har ḏẖarṇe.  Nānak jan pā▫i▫ā maṯ gurmaṯ jap har har pār pavṇe. ||4||3||7||

 

O (har-i har-i) Almighty Master, You are (agam) beyond reach/comprehension, You (dharney) place Your (naam) virtues and commands (vich-i) in the minds of (bhagta) the devotees.

(Jan-i) devotees (paaiaa) keep (gurmat-i) the guru’s counsel (mat-i) in mind; they (pavney) get to (paar-i) far shore, i.e. get across the world-ocean, (jap-i) by remembering and obeying (har-i har-i) the Almighty Master, says fourth Nanak. 4. 3. 7.
