O (jan = servants) seekers, my (bhaaee) brethren, (japahu) remember and obey (har-i = dispels vices) the purifying and (har-i = greening) rejuvenating Naam/Divine virtues and commands.

When the Almighty (karey) bestows (nadar-i = sight of grace) grace, i.e. is kind, then IT (meyley = causes to meet) leads to (satigur-u) the true guru; (taa-n) then with his guidance, one remains (sahjey) naturally (samaaiaa) absorbed in/lives in obedience to Naam (sahj-i) steadfastly.
One with (poorai) good (bhaag-i) fortune (dhiaaiaa) pays attention to Naam, and (milai) receives (vaddiaaee) glory – of attaining union with the Creator, says third Nanak. 4. 5.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.
ਗੁਪਤਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਲਜੁਗਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਤਿਨਾ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਆ ਜੋ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਭਜਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੨॥
Gupṯā nām varṯai vicẖ kaljug gẖat gẖat har bẖarpūr rahi▫ā. Nām raṯan ṯinā hirḏai pargati▫ā jo gur sarṇā▫ī bẖaj pa▫i▫ā. ||2||
Naam is (gupta) hidden but (vartai = acts) controls everything (vich-i) in (kaljug-i) the age of conflicts; (har-i) the Almighty is (bharpoor rahiaa) present (ghatt-i ghatt-i) in every being.
The Naam (ratan-u) jewel (pragattiaa = manifests) shows up in (hirdai) minds of (tinaa) those who (bhaj-i = run, paiaa = place) place themselves in (sarnaaee = sanctuary) guidance of the guru. 2.
ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਪੰਚ ਪੰਚੇ ਵਸਿ ਆਣੈ ਖਿਮਾ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ ਸੋ ਧਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਵਡ ਪੂਰਾ ਜੋ ਭੈ ਬੈਰਾਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ॥੩॥
Inḏrī pancẖ pancẖe vas āṇai kẖimā sanṯokẖ gurmaṯ pāvai. So ḏẖan ḏẖan har jan vad pūrā jo bẖai bairāg har guṇ gāvai. ||3||
One who (paavai) receives (gurmat-i) the guru’s counsel (vas-i = under control, aanai = brings) restrains (panch) the five (indri) sensory and (pach) five vices of lust etc. s/he acquires virtues of (khimaa) forgiveness/tolerance (santokh-u = contentment) being happy with Divine will.
(So) that (jan-u = servant) devotee of (har-i) the Almighty (dhan-u dhan-u) is highly blessed and (poora) accomplished who (gaavai = sings) praises and emulates (gun) Divine virtues (bhai = fear) with reverence and (bairaag-i) yearning for the Almighty. 3.
ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਮੁਹੁ ਫੇਰੇ ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਕਹਿਆ ਨ ਚਿਤਿ ਧਰੈ ॥ ਕਰਿ ਆਚਾਰ ਬਹੁ ਸੰਪਉ ਸੰਚੈ ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੈ ਸੁ ਨਰਕਿ ਪਰੈ ॥੪॥
Gur ṯe muhu fere je ko▫ī gur kā kahi▫ā na cẖiṯ ḏẖarai. Kar ācẖār baho sampa▫o sancẖai jo kicẖẖ karai so narak parai. ||4||
(Jey) if (koee) someone (pheyrey) turns (muh-u) face away (tey) from (gur) the guru, and does not (dharai) keep (kahaiaa) bidding of the guru (chit-i) in mind.
And (kar-i) performs (aachaar) rituals for display of piety, but acts to (sanchai) gather (bahu) more and more of (sampau) wealth; (jo kichh-u) whatever rituals s/he (karai) does are of no use; s/he (parai) is put (narak-i) in hell, i.e. denied union with the Creator and sent for reincarnation. 4.
ਏਕੋ ਸਬਦੁ ਏਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਸਭ ਏਕਸੁ ਤੇ ਉਤਪਤਿ ਚਲੈ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਇ ਰਲੈ ॥੫॥੬॥
Ėko sabaḏ eko parabẖ varṯai sabẖ ekas ṯe uṯpaṯ cẖalai. Nānak gurmukẖ mel milā▫e gurmukẖ har har jā▫e ralai. ||5||6||
There is (eyko) only One (prabh-u) Almighty Master and (eyko) one Divine (sabad-u = word) writ (vartai) applies (sabh) everywhere; (utpat-i) the creation (chalai = moves) functions (tey) with (eykas-u) the one writ – cosmic laws.
One whom the Almighty (meyl-i = causes to meet) leads to receive and live (gurmukh-i) by the guru’s guidance, that (gurmukh-i) follower of the guru (jaaey) goes and (ralai) merges in (har-i har-i) the Almighty, says third Nanak. 5. 6.

ਪ੍ਰਭਾਤੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਣਾ ਸਾਲਾਹਿ ॥ ਪੂਰਾ ਭਾਗੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੁਖਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਹਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Parbẖāṯī mėhlā 3. Mere man gur apṇā sālāhi. Pūrā bẖāg hovai mukẖ masṯak saḏā har ke guṇ gāhi. ||1|| rahā▫o.
Composition of the third Guru in Raga Prabhaati. O (meyrey) my (man) mind, (saalaah-i = praise) acknowledge and obey (apna = own) Your guru. Remember, the guru is found by one who has (poora = perfect) good (bhaag-u) fortune written (mukh-i = on face, masatak-i = on forehead) in destiny, s/he (gaah-i) praises and emulates (gun) virtues (key) of (har-i) the Almighty with the guru’s guidance. 1.

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਦੇਇ ॥ ਕੋਟਿ ਮਧੇ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਲੇਇ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਅਪਣੀ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥੧॥
Amriṯ nām bẖojan har ḏe▫e. Kot maḏẖe ko▫ī virlā le▫e. Jis no apṇī naḏar kare▫i. ||1||
(Har-i) the Creator (dey-i) gives (amrit) the life-giving (bhojan-u) food of Naam/directions on the role in life and is present in the mind; but (koee) some (virla) rare person (madhey) in (kott-i) crores (ley-i) takes, i.e. gets awareness of Naam, (no) on (jis-u) whom, the Almighty (karey-i) bestows (nadar-i) grace – to lead to the guru. 1.
ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਣ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਵਸਾਇ ॥ ਦੁਖੁ ਅਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਅੰਦਰਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਸਾਚਾ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥੨॥
Gur ke cẖaraṇ man māhi vasā▫e. Ḏukẖ anĥerā anḏrahu jā▫e. Āpe sācẖā la▫e milā▫e. ||2||
When one (vasaaey = causes to abide) keeps (charan = feet) instructions of the guru (maah-i) in (man) mind; (dukh-u) pain caused by committing transgression (aneyhra = darkness/ignorance) due to being oblivious of Naam, (jaaey) leaves (andrahu) from within and one lives by Naam. Then (saachaa) the Eternal Master (laey milaaey) unites (aapey) with IT-self. 2.
ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਿਉ ਲਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥ ਐਥੈ ਓਥੈ ਏਹੁ ਅਧਾਰੁ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਵੈ ਸਿਰਜਨਹਾਰੁ ॥੩॥
Gur kī baṇī si▫o lā▫e pi▫ār. Aithai othai ehu aḏẖār. Āpe ḏevai sirjanhār. ||3||
One should (laaey) bear (piaar-u) love (sio) for (baani = words) guidance of the guru – to live by Naam. (Eyhu) this is (adhaar-u) the mainstay for being at peace (aithai) here and (othai = there) in the hereafter. (Sirjanhaar-u) the Creator (deyvai) grants peace/union (aapey) on IT’s own – no efforts/rituals are needed. 3.
ਸਚਾ ਮਨਾਏ ਅਪਣਾ ਭਾਣਾ ॥ ਸੋਈ ਭਗਤੁ ਸੁਘੜੁ ਸਜਾਣਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਸ ਕੈ ਸਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਣਾ ॥੪॥੭॥੧੭॥੭॥੨੪॥
Sacẖā manā▫e apṇā bẖāṇā. So▫ī bẖagaṯ sugẖaṛ sojāṇā. Nānak ṯis kai saḏ kurbāṇā. ||4||7||17||7||24||
One whom (sachaa) the Eternal (manaaey) causes to happily accept (apna = own) IT’s (bhaana) will; (soee) that person is (sugharr-u) an accomplished and (sojaana = well-informed) wise (bhagat-u) devotee – s/he is accepted for union by the Creator. Third Nanak (sad) ever (kurbaana = is sacrifice, kai = to) adores – and follows – (tis) that person. 4. 7. 17. 7. 24.
