Sukhmani Sahib

(Page: 50)

ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਪਾਛੈ ਪਾਵੈ ॥

tripat na aavai maaeaa paachhai paavai |

Satisfaction is not obtained by chasing after Maya.

ਅਨਿਕ ਭੋਗ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਕੇ ਕਰੈ ॥

anik bhog bikhiaa ke karai |

He may enjoy all sorts of corrupt pleasures,

ਨਹ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਵੈ ਖਪਿ ਖਪਿ ਮਰੈ ॥

nah tripataavai khap khap marai |

but he is still not satisfied; he indulges again and again, wearing himself out, until he dies.

ਬਿਨਾ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਊ ਰਾਜੈ ॥

binaa santokh nahee koaoo raajai |

Without contentment, no one is satisfied.

ਸੁਪਨ ਮਨੋਰਥ ਬ੍ਰਿਥੇ ਸਭ ਕਾਜੈ ॥

supan manorath brithe sabh kaajai |

Like the objects in a dream, all his efforts are in vain.

ਨਾਮ ਰੰਗਿ ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥

naam rang sarab sukh hoe |

Through the love of the Naam, all peace is obtained.

ਬਡਭਾਗੀ ਕਿਸੈ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥

baddabhaagee kisai paraapat hoe |

Only a few obtain this, by great good fortune.

ਕਰਨ ਕਰਾਵਨ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ॥

karan karaavan aape aap |

He Himself is Himself the Cause of causes.

ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੫॥

sadaa sadaa naanak har jaap |5|

Forever and ever, O Nanak, chant the Lord's Name. ||5||

ਕਰਨ ਕਰਾਵਨ ਕਰਨੈਹਾਰੁ ॥

karan karaavan karanaihaar |

The Doer, the Cause of causes, is the Creator Lord.

ਇਸ ਕੈ ਹਾਥਿ ਕਹਾ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

eis kai haath kahaa beechaar |

What deliberations are in the hands of mortal beings?

ਜੈਸੀ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਕਰੇ ਤੈਸਾ ਹੋਇ ॥

jaisee drisatt kare taisaa hoe |

As God casts His Glance of Grace, they come to be.

ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਆਪਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਇ ॥

aape aap aap prabh soe |

God Himself, of Himself, is unto Himself.

ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕੀਨੋ ਸੁ ਅਪਨੈ ਰੰਗਿ ॥

jo kichh keeno su apanai rang |

Whatever He created, was by His Own Pleasure.

ਸਭ ਤੇ ਦੂਰਿ ਸਭਹੂ ਕੈ ਸੰਗਿ ॥

sabh te door sabhahoo kai sang |

He is far from all, and yet with all.

ਬੂਝੈ ਦੇਖੈ ਕਰੈ ਬਿਬੇਕ ॥

boojhai dekhai karai bibek |

He understands, He sees, and He passes judgment.

ਆਪਹਿ ਏਕ ਆਪਹਿ ਅਨੇਕ ॥

aapeh ek aapeh anek |

He Himself is the One, and He Himself is the many.

ਮਰੈ ਨ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਆਵੈ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

marai na binasai aavai na jaae |

He does not die or perish; He does not come or go.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੬॥

naanak sad hee rahiaa samaae |6|

O Nanak, He remains forever All-pervading. ||6||

ਆਪਿ ਉਪਦੇਸੈ ਸਮਝੈ ਆਪਿ ॥

aap upadesai samajhai aap |

He Himself instructs, and He Himself learns.
