ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਗੁਰ ਭੇਟਿ ਮਹਾ ਸੁਖ ਭ੍ਰਮਤ ਰਹੇ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਾਨਾਂ ॥੪॥੨੩॥੭੪॥
keh kabeer gur bhett mahaa sukh bhramat rahe man maanaanaan |4|23|74|

Says Kabeer, meeting the Guru, I have found absolute peace. My mind has ceased its wanderings; I am happy. ||4||23||74||

ਰਾਗੁ ਗਉੜੀ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਬਾਵਨ ਅਖਰੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀਉ ਕੀ ॥
raag gaurree poorabee baavan akharee kabeer jeeo kee |

Raag Gauree Poorbee, Baawan Akhree Of Kabeer Jee:

ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ik oankaar sat naam karataa purakh guraprasaad |

One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. By Guru's Grace:

ਬਾਵਨ ਅਛਰ ਲੋਕ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਸਭੁ ਕਛੁ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
baavan achhar lok trai sabh kachh in hee maeh |

Through these fifty-two letters, the three worlds and all things are described.

ਏ ਅਖਰ ਖਿਰਿ ਜਾਹਿਗੇ ਓਇ ਅਖਰ ਇਨ ਮਹਿ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੧॥
e akhar khir jaahige oe akhar in meh naeh |1|

These letters shall perish; they cannot describe the Imperishable Lord. ||1||

ਜਹਾ ਬੋਲ ਤਹ ਅਛਰ ਆਵਾ ॥
jahaa bol tah achhar aavaa |

Wherever there is speech, there are letters.

ਜਹ ਅਬੋਲ ਤਹ ਮਨੁ ਨ ਰਹਾਵਾ ॥
jah abol tah man na rahaavaa |

Where there is no speech, there, the mind rests on nothing.

ਬੋਲ ਅਬੋਲ ਮਧਿ ਹੈ ਸੋਈ ॥
bol abol madh hai soee |

He is in both speech and silence.

ਜਸ ਓਹੁ ਹੈ ਤਸ ਲਖੈ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥੨॥
jas ohu hai tas lakhai na koee |2|

No one can know Him as He is. ||2||

ਅਲਹ ਲਹਉ ਤਉ ਕਿਆ ਕਹਉ ਕਹਉ ਤ ਕੋ ਉਪਕਾਰ ॥
alah lhau tau kiaa khau khau ta ko upakaar |

If I come to know the Lord, what can I say; what good does it do to speak?

ਬਟਕ ਬੀਜ ਮਹਿ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਜਾ ਕੋ ਤੀਨਿ ਲੋਕ ਬਿਸਥਾਰ ॥੩॥
battak beej meh rav rahio jaa ko teen lok bisathaar |3|

He is contained in the seed of the banyan-tree, and yet, His expanse spreads across the three worlds. ||3||

ਅਲਹ ਲਹੰਤਾ ਭੇਦ ਛੈ ਕਛੁ ਕਛੁ ਪਾਇਓ ਭੇਦ ॥
alah lahantaa bhed chhai kachh kachh paaeio bhed |

One who knows the Lord understands His mystery, and bit by bit, the mystery disappears.

ਉਲਟਿ ਭੇਦ ਮਨੁ ਬੇਧਿਓ ਪਾਇਓ ਅਭੰਗ ਅਛੇਦ ॥੪॥
aulatt bhed man bedhio paaeio abhang achhed |4|

Turning away from the world, one's mind is pierced through with this mystery, and one obtains the Indestructible, Impenetrable Lord. ||4||

ਤੁਰਕ ਤਰੀਕਤਿ ਜਾਨੀਐ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ॥
turak tareekat jaaneeai hindoo bed puraan |

The Muslim knows the Muslim way of life; the Hindu knows the Vedas and Puraanas.

ਮਨ ਸਮਝਾਵਨ ਕਾਰਨੇ ਕਛੂਅਕ ਪੜੀਐ ਗਿਆਨ ॥੫॥
man samajhaavan kaarane kachhooak parreeai giaan |5|

To instruct their minds, people ought to study some sort of spiritual wisdom. ||5||

ਓਅੰਕਾਰ ਆਦਿ ਮੈ ਜਾਨਾ ॥
oankaar aad mai jaanaa |

I know only the One, the Universal Creator, the Primal Being.

ਲਿਖਿ ਅਰੁ ਮੇਟੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਨ ਮਾਨਾ ॥
likh ar mettai taeh na maanaa |

I do not believe in anyone whom the Lord writes and erases.

ਓਅੰਕਾਰ ਲਖੈ ਜਉ ਕੋਈ ॥
oankaar lakhai jau koee |

If someone knows the One, the Universal Creator,

ਸੋਈ ਲਖਿ ਮੇਟਣਾ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੬॥
soee lakh mettanaa na hoee |6|

he shall not perish, since he knows Him. ||6||

ਕਕਾ ਕਿਰਣਿ ਕਮਲ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਵਾ ॥
kakaa kiran kamal meh paavaa |

KAKKA: When the rays of Divine Light come into the heart-lotus,

ਸਸਿ ਬਿਗਾਸ ਸੰਪਟ ਨਹੀ ਆਵਾ ॥
sas bigaas sanpatt nahee aavaa |

the moon-light of Maya cannot enter the basket of the mind.

ਅਰੁ ਜੇ ਤਹਾ ਕੁਸਮ ਰਸੁ ਪਾਵਾ ॥
ar je tahaa kusam ras paavaa |

And if one obtains the subtle fragrance of that spiritual flower,

ਅਕਹ ਕਹਾ ਕਹਿ ਕਾ ਸਮਝਾਵਾ ॥੭॥
akah kahaa keh kaa samajhaavaa |7|

he cannot describe the indescribable; he could speak, but who would understand? ||7||

ਖਖਾ ਇਹੈ ਖੋੜਿ ਮਨ ਆਵਾ ॥
khakhaa ihai khorr man aavaa |

KHAKHA: The mind has entered this cave.

ਖੋੜੇ ਛਾਡਿ ਨ ਦਹ ਦਿਸ ਧਾਵਾ ॥
khorre chhaadd na dah dis dhaavaa |

It does not leave this cave to wander in the ten directions.

ਖਸਮਹਿ ਜਾਣਿ ਖਿਮਾ ਕਰਿ ਰਹੈ ॥
khasameh jaan khimaa kar rahai |

Knowing their Lord and Master, people show compassion;

ਤਉ ਹੋਇ ਨਿਖਿਅਉ ਅਖੈ ਪਦੁ ਲਹੈ ॥੮॥
tau hoe nikhiaau akhai pad lahai |8|

then, they become immortal, and attain the state of eternal dignity. ||8||

ਗਗਾ ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਬਚਨ ਪਛਾਨਾ ॥
gagaa gur ke bachan pachhaanaa |

GAGGA: One who understands the Guru's Word

ਦੂਜੀ ਬਾਤ ਨ ਧਰਈ ਕਾਨਾ ॥
doojee baat na dharee kaanaa |

does not listen to anything else.

ਰਹੈ ਬਿਹੰਗਮ ਕਤਹਿ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥
rahai bihangam kateh na jaaee |

He remains like a hermit and does not go anywhere,

ਅਗਹ ਗਹੈ ਗਹਿ ਗਗਨ ਰਹਾਈ ॥੯॥
agah gahai geh gagan rahaaee |9|

when he grasps the Ungraspable Lord and dwells in the sky of the Tenth Gate. ||9||

ਘਘਾ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਨਿਮਸੈ ਸੋਈ ॥
ghaghaa ghatt ghatt nimasai soee |

GHAGHA: He dwells in each and every heart.

ਘਟ ਫੂਟੇ ਘਟਿ ਕਬਹਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥
ghatt footte ghatt kabeh na hoee |

Even when the body-pitcher bursts, he does not diminish.

ਤਾ ਘਟ ਮਾਹਿ ਘਾਟ ਜਉ ਪਾਵਾ ॥
taa ghatt maeh ghaatt jau paavaa |

When someone finds the Path to the Lord within his own heart,

ਸੋ ਘਟੁ ਛਾਡਿ ਅਵਘਟ ਕਤ ਧਾਵਾ ॥੧੦॥
so ghatt chhaadd avaghatt kat dhaavaa |10|

why should he abandon that Path to follow some other path? ||10||

ਙੰਙਾ ਨਿਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਸਨੇਹੁ ਕਰਿ ਨਿਰਵਾਰੋ ਸੰਦੇਹ ॥
ngangaa nigreh sanehu kar niravaaro sandeh |

NGANGA: Restrain yourself, love the Lord, and dismiss your doubts.

ਨਾਹੀ ਦੇਖਿ ਨ ਭਾਜੀਐ ਪਰਮ ਸਿਆਨਪ ਏਹ ॥੧੧॥
naahee dekh na bhaajeeai param siaanap eh |11|

Even if you do not see the Path, do not run away; this is the highest wisdom. ||11||

ਚਚਾ ਰਚਿਤ ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਹੈ ਭਾਰੀ ॥
chachaa rachit chitr hai bhaaree |

CHACHA: He painted the great picture of the world.

ਤਜਿ ਚਿਤ੍ਰੈ ਚੇਤਹੁ ਚਿਤਕਾਰੀ ॥
taj chitrai chetahu chitakaaree |

Forget this picture, and remember the Painter.

ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਬਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਇਹੈ ਅਵਝੇਰਾ ॥
chitr bachitr ihai avajheraa |

This wondrous painting is now the problem.

ਤਜਿ ਚਿਤ੍ਰੈ ਚਿਤੁ ਰਾਖਿ ਚਿਤੇਰਾ ॥੧੨॥
taj chitrai chit raakh chiteraa |12|

Forget this picture and focus your consciousness on the Painter. ||12||

ਛਛਾ ਇਹੈ ਛਤ੍ਰਪਤਿ ਪਾਸਾ ॥
chhachhaa ihai chhatrapat paasaa |

CHHACHHA: The Sovereign Lord of the Universe is here with you.

ਛਕਿ ਕਿ ਨ ਰਹਹੁ ਛਾਡਿ ਕਿ ਨ ਆਸਾ ॥
chhak ki na rahahu chhaadd ki na aasaa |

Why are you so unhappy? Why don't you abandon your desires?

ਰੇ ਮਨ ਮੈ ਤਉ ਛਿਨ ਛਿਨ ਸਮਝਾਵਾ ॥
re man mai tau chhin chhin samajhaavaa |

O my mind, each and every moment I try to instruct you,

ਤਾਹਿ ਛਾਡਿ ਕਤ ਆਪੁ ਬਧਾਵਾ ॥੧੩॥
taeh chhaadd kat aap badhaavaa |13|

but you forsake Him, and entangle yourself with others. ||13||

ਜਜਾ ਜਉ ਤਨ ਜੀਵਤ ਜਰਾਵੈ ॥
jajaa jau tan jeevat jaraavai |

JAJJA: If someone burns his body while he is still alive,

ਜੋਬਨ ਜਾਰਿ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਸੋ ਪਾਵੈ ॥
joban jaar jugat so paavai |

and burns away the desires of his youth, then he finds the right way.

ਅਸ ਜਰਿ ਪਰ ਜਰਿ ਜਰਿ ਜਬ ਰਹੈ ॥
as jar par jar jar jab rahai |

When he burns his desire for his own wealth, and that of others,

ਤਬ ਜਾਇ ਜੋਤਿ ਉਜਾਰਉ ਲਹੈ ॥੧੪॥
tab jaae jot ujaarau lahai |14|

then he finds the Divine Light. ||14||
