ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਆਧਾਰੋ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਦੀਆ ਤਿਸ ਕੈ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੋ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Sārag mėhlā 5.  Amriṯ nām manėh āḏẖāro.  Jin ḏī▫ā ṯis kai kurbānai gur pūre namaskāro. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. Awareness of (amrit) the life-giving (naam-u) Naam or virtues and commands of the Almighty, is (aadhaaro) the support (manah-i) for the mind – it enables to resist temptations and obey God.

I (kurbaanai = am sacrifice) adore (tis kai = that) one who (deeaa = gives) can impart awareness of Naam; my (namaskaaro) obeisance to (poorey) the perfect (gur) guru – who imparts awareness of Naam. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਬੂਝੀ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਹੇਲਾ ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਬਿਖੁ ਜਾਰੋ ॥ ਆਇ ਨ ਜਾਇ ਬਸੈ ਇਹ ਠਾਹਰ ਜਹ ਆਸਨੁ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੋ ॥੧॥

Būjẖī ṯarisnā sahj suhelā kām kroḏẖ bikẖ jāro. Ā▫e na jā▫e basai ih ṯẖāhar jah āsan nirankāro. ||1||

 

With awareness of Naam, the fire of (trisna) desires (bujhi) is quenched, the mind remains (sahaj-i) naturally (suheyla = comfortable) at peace while (bikh-u) the poison/vices of (kaam) lust and (krodh-u) anger – as also greed, worldly attachments and vanity – are (jaaro = burnt) overcome.

The mind does not (aaey) come and (jaaey) go, i.e. remains steady at (ih) this place (jah) where (aasan-u) seat of (nirankaaro) the Formless Master is, i.e. remains focused within. 1.

 

ਏਕੈ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਏਕੈ ਗੁਪਤਾ ਏਕੈ ਧੁੰਧੂਕਾਰੋ ॥ ਆਦਿ ਮਧਿ ਅੰਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਈ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੋ ॥੨॥੩੧॥੫੪॥

Ėkai pargat ekai gupṯā ekai ḏẖunḏẖūkāro. Āḏ maḏẖ anṯ parabẖ so▫ī kaho Nānak sācẖ bīcẖāro. ||2||31||54||

 

(Eykai) the One is (patagatt-u) manifest- in gross form – as well as (gupta) hidden – in subtle form within – in creation and also (ddhundhookaaro = darkness) when there is no creation.

(Soi) the same One (prabh-u) Almighty was present (aad-i = in beginning) before creation came into being, is present (madh-i = middle) through existence of creation, and (ant-i) at the end when Creation ends; this is (saach-u) the true (beechaaro) thought/understanding, i.e. God is Eternal, says fifth Nanak. 2. 31. 54.

ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਰਹਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ਘਰੀ ॥ ਸਰਬ ਸੂਖ ਤਾਹੂ ਕੈ ਪੂਰਨ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੈ ਹਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Sārag mėhlā 5.  Bin parabẖ rahan na jā▫e gẖarī.  Sarab sūkẖ ṯāhū kai pūran jā kai sukẖ hai harī. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. It is (na jaaey) not possible (rahan-u) to exist (bin-u) without (prabh) the Almighty even for (ghari) a short while – one falls to vices.

(Sarab) all (sookh) comforts are (pooran) complete, i.e. all aspirations are fulfilled, of one (ja kai) who has (sukh-u) peace attained by presence of (hari) God within – for then s/he does not transgress and hence does not suffer.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਮੰਗਲ ਰੂਪ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਜੀਵਨ ਧਨ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਅਨਦ ਘਨਾ ॥ ਵਡ ਸਮਰਥੁ ਸਦਾ ਸਦ ਸੰਗੇ ਗੁਨ ਰਸਨਾ ਕਵਨ ਭਨਾ ॥੧॥

Awareness of God, (roop) the embodiment of (mangal) happiness, is (dhan) the wealth/guide of (praan jeevan) life; there is (ghanaa) abundant (anad/anand) happiness (simrat = in remembering) in being conscious of the Almighty – because then no wrong-doings are committed and no grief experienced.

The Almighty (vadd = great) is supremely (samrath-u) potent, and (sadaa sad) forever (sangey) with the creatures; (kavan) what all virtues of the Almighty can one (rasna) tongue (bhanaa = say) recount? 1.

 

ਥਾਨ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਮਾਨ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਸੁਨਨ ਕਹਨਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਭਵਨ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਜਾ ਮਹਿ ਸੰਤ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥੨॥੩੨॥੫੫॥

Thān paviṯarā mān paviṯarā paviṯar sunan kėhanhāre. Kaho Nānak ṯe bẖavan paviṯarā jā mėh sanṯ ṯumĥāre. ||2||32||55||

 

Those (thaan) places where God is praised (pavitra) are sanctified; those who (maan) believe/obey God are (pavitra) pure as are those who (sunanan) listen and (kahanhaarey) those who say/praise God.

(Tey) those (bhavan) houses (ja mah-i) in which (tumhaarey) Your (sant = saints) devotees reside, i.e. the holy congregations, are (pavitra) pure, says fifth Nanak. 2. 32. 55.

Ŧumėh kẖajīnā ṯumėh jarīnā ṯum hī māṇik lālā. Ŧumėh pārjāṯ gur ṯe pā▫e ṯa▫o Nānak bẖa▫e nihālā. ||2||33||56||

 

O God, (tumah-i) You are (khajeena = treasure) the source of wealth and (tumah-i) You are also (jareena/zar = money) the wealth; and You are (maanik) the rubies and (laala) jewels.

You, (paarjaat = a wish-fulfilling tree) the fulfiller of wishes, are (paaey) found (tey = from) with guidance of (gur) the guru; and when found, (tau) then one (bhaey) is (nihaala) happy – relieved of all troubles – says fifth Nanak. 2. 33. 56.

One (jo) who (hovat) is (cheyro) servant (ko) of (kaahoo) someone, s/he (jaavai) goes (pah-i) to (tthaakur hi) the master only – I am Your servant/devotee, and rely only on You o Almighty. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਅਪਨੇ ਪਹਿ ਦੂਖ ਅਪਨੇ ਪਹਿ ਸੂਖਾ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਹੀ ਪਹਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ॥ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਪਹਿ ਮਾਨੁ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਪਹਿ ਤਾਨਾ ਅਪਨੇ ਹੀ ਪਹਿ ਅਰਥਾ ॥੧॥

Apne pėh ḏūkẖ apune pėh sūkẖā apne hī pėh birthā. Apune pėh mān apune pėh ṯānā apne hī pėh arthā. ||1||

 

One relates (dookh) suffering as well as (sookh = comfort) happiness (pah-i) to (apuney) one’s own; one tells (birtha = pain of mind) the state of mind to one’s own – for me it is You, o Almighty.

One has (maan-u) pride on one’s own, relies on (taana) strength of one’s own and can expect (artha) finances from the own – You are the source of all these for me, o Almighty. 1.

 

ਕਿਨ ਹੀ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਬਨੁ ਧਨ ਮਿਲਖਾ ਕਿਨ ਹੀ ਬਾਪ ਮਹਤਾਰੀ ॥ ਸਰਬ ਥੋਕ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਪਾਏ ਪੂਰਨ ਆਸ ਹਮਾਰੀ ॥੨॥੩੪॥੫੭॥

(Jag-u) the world, i.e. every creature, (hot = becomes, patit = fallen to vices) is falling (mah-i) in (andh) the blind (koop) well, i.e. is affected by temptations; o (santahu = saints) devotees of God, please (karahu) make (mori) my (gat-i) state (param) supreme, i.e. help me escape falling prey to temptations in the world-play.

Fifth Nanak (bhaio) has become (mukta) free from influence of temptations (peykhat = seeing, darsan-u = sight) by joining (saadhsangat-i) the holy congregation – where virtues and commands of the Almighty are recounted and learnt to practice -, (bhori) for a short while. 2. 37. 60.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਊਹੀ ਤੇ ਹਰਿਓ ਊਹਾ ਲੇ ਧਰਿਓ ਜੈਸੇ ਬਾਸਾ ਮਾਸ ਦੇਤ ਝਾਟੁਲੀ ॥ ਦੇਵਨਹਾਰੁ ਬਿਸਾਰਿਓ ਅੰਧੁਲੇ ਜਿਉ ਸਫਰੀ ਉਦਰੁ ਭਰੈ ਬਹਿ ਹਾਟੁਲੀ ॥੧॥

Death (hario = abducts) takes away the soul (tey) from (oohi) here, i.e. from one body and (ley dhario) places (ooha = there) in another body, (jaisey) like (baasaa) the hawk (deyt = gives/does, jhaattuli = snatch with jerk) suddenly snatches (maas) meat from one place and eats elsewhere, i.e. death will suddenly come.

(Andhuley = blind) you are blinded by attachment to comforts and (bisaario) have forgotten (deyvanhaar = giver) the Almighty who provided these; you should be (jio) like (safri) a traveler who (bharai = fills, udar-u = belly) eats (bah-i) sitting at (haattuli = shop) a restaurant, i.e. does not get attached to the shop, be similarly prepared to leave. 1.

You commit (bikaar) vices for (saad = taste) pleasure, but (bikaar) vices give (jhootth) false (ras = taste) pleasure, i.e. they cause retribution with suffering; remember (baattuli) the path to (tah) there (jah) where you are (jaano) to go, is (bheer) narrow, i.e. you cannot escape scrutiny and consequences.

(Samajh-u) understand (rey) o (iaaney) unmindful person, (teyri) your (gaantthuli) bundle will (khulhai) open and the soul leave, i.e. death may come, (aaj-u = today, kaal-i = tomorrow) anytime, says fifth Nanak. 2. 38. 61.

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. O (jeeo) revered (gur) guru, because (tuhaarai) of Your (sang-i) company, i.e. by leading life as guided by you, I have (jaanio) received recognition in the world.

Otherwise there are (kott-i) crores of (jodh) warriors and no (baat = state, puchheeai = asked) notice is taken (uaa ki) of them (dargah) in Divine court, (taa-n bhi) but even there I (maaniaa) would be accepted – thanks to you. 1.

It is because (jot-i = light) Spirit of the Creator (bhaee = gives, pragaas = light) gives life to (maatti = clay) the body composed of elements like clay, and it (bakhaanio = called) becomes, (dulabh) the hard-to-get valuable (deh = body) human form. 1.

I received (tey) from (tum) you, awareness there is no value of (seyv = service) worship, (jap) recitations of texts or mantras, (taapa) austerities – to find God – and (pachhaanio) known (tey) from (tum) you (tat-u) the essence – of how to be accepted for union with God.

You (dhar-i) placed (kar-u) hand (mastak-i) on my forehead, i.e. blessed/guided me, and (jeyvri = rope) my attachment to vices has (katti = cut) ended; I have become (daas) servant of (dasaaanio) servants, i.e. a humble seeker, of the Almighty, says fifth Nanak. 2. 39. 62.
