Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

Page - 411


ਬਾਜਤ ਨੀਸਾਨ ਸੁਨੀਅਤ ਚਹੂੰ ਓਰ ਜੈਸੇ ਉਦਤ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਭਾਨ ਦੁਰੈ ਨ ਦੁਰਾਏ ਸੈ ।
baajat neesaan suneeat chahoon or jaise udat pradhaan bhaan durai na duraae sai |

Just as the beat of the drum is heard on all four sides (its sound cannot be hidden) and when the supreme celestial body-sun rises, its light cannot be concealed;

ਦੀਪਕ ਸੈ ਦਾਵਾ ਭਏ ਸਕਲ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਜਾਨੈ ਘਟਕਾ ਮੈ ਸਿੰਧ ਜੈਸੇ ਛਿਪੈ ਨ ਛਿਪਾਏ ਸੈ ।
deepak sai daavaa bhe sakal sansaar jaanai ghattakaa mai sindh jaise chhipai na chhipaae sai |

Just as the whole world knows that light emanates from a lamp, and the ocean cannot be contained in a small earthenware pitcher;

ਜੈਸੇ ਚਕਵੈ ਨ ਛਾਨੋ ਰਹਤ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਨ ਸੈ ਦੇਸ ਮੈ ਦੁਹਾਈ ਫੇਰੇ ਮਿਟੇ ਨ ਮਿਟਾਏ ਸੈ ।
jaise chakavai na chhaano rahat singhaasan sai des mai duhaaee fere mitte na mittaae sai |

Just as an emperor sitting on the throne of his mighty empire cannot remain hidden; he is known among the subjects of his kingdom and that glory and fame is hard to destroy;

ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸੁ ਜਾਸੁ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਨ ਰਹੈ ਮੋਨਿ ਬ੍ਰਿਤ ਉਪਜਾਏ ਸੈ ।੪੧੧।
taise guramukh pria prem ko pragaas jaas gupat na rahai mon brit upajaae sai |411|

Similarly, the Guru-oriented Sikh whose heart is enlightened by the love of the Lord and His meditation, cannot remain hidden. His silence gives him away. (411)
