ਪ੍ਰਗਟੁ ਭਇਆ ਖੰਡੀ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੀ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਪਣਾ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਣਿ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਕਰਤੇ ਕੀ ਅਨਦ ਮੰਗਲ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇਆ ॥੨॥੮੩॥੧੦੬॥
Pargat bẖa▫i▫ā kẖandī barahmandī kīṯā apṇā pā▫i▫ā. Nānak saraṇ nirbẖa▫o karṯe kī anaḏ mangal guṇ gā▫i▫ā. ||2||83||106||
The cosmic law of (paaiaa) receiving the consequences of (apna = own) one’s (keeta) deeds (bhaiaa) is (pragatt-u) manifest, i.e. applies (khanddi) in parts and (brahmanddi) the whole of universes.
I have placed myself (saran-i = in sanctuary) care and obedience (ki) of (kartey) the Creator, (nirbhau = fearless, not answerable to anyone) the highest authority and enjoy (anad/anand) bliss and (mangal) joy (gaaiaa = singing) by praising and emulating (gun) virtues of the Almighty, says fifth Nanak. 2. 83. 106.

ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਚਲਤ ਬਹੁ ਪਰਕਾਰਿ ॥ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੋਤ ਨ ਕਤਹੁ ਬਾਤਹਿ ਅੰਤਿ ਪਰਤੀ ਹਾਰਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Sārag mėhlā 5. Ŧarisnā cẖalaṯ baho parkār. Pūran hoṯ na kaṯahu bāṯėh anṯ parṯī hār. ||1|| rahā▫o.
Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Saarag. (Trisna) craving – lack of satisfaction – (chalat = moves) happens/afflicts in (bahu) many (parkaar-i) ways.
Craving (hot) is not (pooran) fulfilled in (katahoo) any (baatah-i) way and (ant-i) ultimately (haar-i) defeat (parti/paindi) has to be faced – the soul is taken by Divine justice and sent for rebirth. 1.
(Rahaau) dwell and reflect on this.

ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸੂਖ ਨ ਸਹਜੁ ਉਪਜੈ ਇਹੈ ਇਸੁ ਬਿਉਹਾਰਿ ॥ ਆਪ ਪਰ ਕਾ ਕਛੁ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧਹਿ ਜਾਰਿ ॥੧॥
Sāʼnṯ sūkẖ na sahj upjai ihai is bi▫uhār. Āp par kā kacẖẖ na jānai kām kroḏẖėh jār. ||1||
Craving does not let (saant-i) peace, (sookh) comfort and (sahaj-u) steadfast-ness of mind be (upjai = show) experienced; (ihai) this is (is-u) its (biohaar-i) conduct/character.
One who is possessed by desires (na jaanai = does not care) has no consideration of (aap) own or (par) other – good or bad, fair or unfair, but s/he must fulfil desires – s/he (jaar-i) is burnt/destroyed by (kaam) lust and (krodhah-i) by anger. 1.
ਸੰਸਾਰ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਦੁਖਿ ਬਿਆਪਿਓ ਦਾਸ ਲੇਵਹੁ ਤਾਰਿ ॥ ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਸਰਣਾਇ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਬਲਿਹਾਰਿ ॥੨॥੮੪॥੧੦੭॥
Sansār sāgar ḏukẖ bi▫āpi▫o ḏās levhu ṯār. Cẖaran kamal sarṇā▫e Nānak saḏ saḏā balihār. ||2||84||107||
O Almighty, (sansaar) the world (saagar-u) ocean (biaapio) is afflicted (dukh-i) by the malady of craving; please (leyvahu taar-i) ferry this (daas) servant across – enable to be contented with Your will.
I place myself in (sarnaaey) sanctuary of Your (kamal) lotus (charan) feet, i.e. I submit myself to Your care and obedience; and (sad sadaa) for ever (balihaar = be sacrifice) shed my ego to be in Your obedience, says fifth Nanak. 2. 84. 107.
