Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Page - 935


ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਨ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ॥
naa tis giaan na dhiaan hai naa tis dharam dhiaan |

He has neither spiritual wisdom or meditation; neither Dharmic faith mor meditation.

ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਕਹਾ ਕਿਆ ਜਾਣਾ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ॥
vin naavai nirbhau kahaa kiaa jaanaa abhimaan |

Without the Name, how can one be fearless? How can he understand egotistical pride?

ਥਾਕਿ ਰਹੀ ਕਿਵ ਅਪੜਾ ਹਾਥ ਨਹੀ ਨਾ ਪਾਰੁ ॥
thaak rahee kiv aparraa haath nahee naa paar |

I am so tired - how can I get there? This ocean has no bottom or end.

ਨਾ ਸਾਜਨ ਸੇ ਰੰਗੁਲੇ ਕਿਸੁ ਪਹਿ ਕਰੀ ਪੁਕਾਰ ॥
naa saajan se rangule kis peh karee pukaar |

I have no loving companions, whom I can ask for help.

ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਿਉ ਪ੍ਰਿਉ ਜੇ ਕਰੀ ਮੇਲੇ ਮੇਲਣਹਾਰੁ ॥
naanak priau priau je karee mele melanahaar |

O Nanak, crying out, "Beloved, Beloved", we are united with the Uniter.

ਜਿਨਿ ਵਿਛੋੜੀ ਸੋ ਮੇਲਸੀ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਹੇਤਿ ਅਪਾਰਿ ॥੩੭॥
jin vichhorree so melasee gur kai het apaar |37|

He who separated me, unites me again; my love for the Guru is infinite. ||37||

ਪਾਪੁ ਬੁਰਾ ਪਾਪੀ ਕਉ ਪਿਆਰਾ ॥
paap buraa paapee kau piaaraa |

Sin is bad, but it is dear to the sinner.

ਪਾਪਿ ਲਦੇ ਪਾਪੇ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ॥
paap lade paape paasaaraa |

He loads himself with sin, and expands his world through sin.

ਪਰਹਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਆਪੁ ॥
parahar paap pachhaanai aap |

Sin is far away from one who understands himself.

ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਸੋਗੁ ਵਿਜੋਗੁ ਸੰਤਾਪੁ ॥
naa tis sog vijog santaap |

He is not afflicted by sorrow or separation.

ਨਰਕਿ ਪੜੰਤਉ ਕਿਉ ਰਹੈ ਕਿਉ ਬੰਚੈ ਜਮਕਾਲੁ ॥
narak parrantau kiau rahai kiau banchai jamakaal |

How can one avoid falling into hell? How can he cheat the Messenger of Death?

ਕਿਉ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣਾ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਝੂਠੁ ਬੁਰਾ ਖੈ ਕਾਲੁ ॥
kiau aavan jaanaa veesarai jhootth buraa khai kaal |

How can coming and going be forgotten? Falsehood is bad, and death is cruel.

ਮਨੁ ਜੰਜਾਲੀ ਵੇੜਿਆ ਭੀ ਜੰਜਾਲਾ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
man janjaalee verriaa bhee janjaalaa maeh |

The mind is enveloped by entanglements, and into entanglements it falls.

ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਕਿਉ ਛੂਟੀਐ ਪਾਪੇ ਪਚਹਿ ਪਚਾਹਿ ॥੩੮॥
vin naavai kiau chhootteeai paape pacheh pachaeh |38|

Without the Name, how can anyone be saved? They rot away in sin. ||38||

ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਾਹੀ ਫਾਸੈ ਕਊਆ ॥
fir fir faahee faasai kaooaa |

Again and again, the crow falls into the trap.

ਫਿਰਿ ਪਛੁਤਾਨਾ ਅਬ ਕਿਆ ਹੂਆ ॥
fir pachhutaanaa ab kiaa hooaa |

Then he regrets it, but what can he do now?

ਫਾਥਾ ਚੋਗ ਚੁਗੈ ਨਹੀ ਬੂਝੈ ॥
faathaa chog chugai nahee boojhai |

Even though he is trapped, he pecks at the food; he does not understand.

ਸਤਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਤ ਆਖੀ ਸੂਝੈ ॥
satagur milai ta aakhee soojhai |

If he meets the True Guru, then he sees with his eyes.

ਜਿਉ ਮਛੁਲੀ ਫਾਥੀ ਜਮ ਜਾਲਿ ॥
jiau machhulee faathee jam jaal |

Like a fish, he is caught in the noose of death.

ਵਿਣੁ ਗੁਰ ਦਾਤੇ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਭਾਲਿ ॥
vin gur daate mukat na bhaal |

Do not seek liberation from anyone else, except the Guru, the Great Giver.

ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜਾਇ ॥
fir fir aavai fir fir jaae |

Over and over again, he comes; over and over again, he goes.

ਇਕ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਚੈ ਰਹੈ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥
eik rang rachai rahai liv laae |

Be absorbed in love for the One Lord, and remain lovingly focused on Him.

ਇਵ ਛੂਟੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਾਸ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥੩੯॥
eiv chhoottai fir faas na paae |39|

In this way you shall be saved, and you shall not fall into the trap again. ||39||

ਬੀਰਾ ਬੀਰਾ ਕਰਿ ਰਹੀ ਬੀਰ ਭਏ ਬੈਰਾਇ ॥
beeraa beeraa kar rahee beer bhe bairaae |

She calls out, "Brother, O brother - stay, O brother!" But he becomes a stranger.

ਬੀਰ ਚਲੇ ਘਰਿ ਆਪਣੈ ਬਹਿਣ ਬਿਰਹਿ ਜਲਿ ਜਾਇ ॥
beer chale ghar aapanai bahin bireh jal jaae |

Her brother departs for his own home, and his sister burns with the pain of separation.

ਬਾਬੁਲ ਕੈ ਘਰਿ ਬੇਟੜੀ ਬਾਲੀ ਬਾਲੈ ਨੇਹਿ ॥
baabul kai ghar bettarree baalee baalai nehi |

In this world, her father's home, the daughter, the innocent soul bride, loves her Young Husband Lord.

ਜੇ ਲੋੜਹਿ ਵਰੁ ਕਾਮਣੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਤੇਹਿ ॥
je lorreh var kaamanee satigur seveh tehi |

If you long for your Husband Lord, O soul bride, then serve the True Guru with love.

ਬਿਰਲੋ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਬੂਝਣਉ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਚਿ ਮਿਲੇਇ ॥
biralo giaanee boojhnau satigur saach milee |

How rare are the spiritually wise, who meet the True Guru, and truly understand.

ਠਾਕੁਰ ਹਾਥਿ ਵਡਾਈਆ ਜੈ ਭਾਵੈ ਤੈ ਦੇਇ ॥
tthaakur haath vaddaaeea jai bhaavai tai dee |

All glorious greatness rests in the Lord and Master's Hands. He grants them, when He is pleased.

ਬਾਣੀ ਬਿਰਲਉ ਬੀਚਾਰਸੀ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਇ ॥
baanee birlau beechaarasee je ko guramukh hoe |

How rare are those who contemplate the Word of the Guru's Bani; they become Gurmukh.

ਇਹ ਬਾਣੀ ਮਹਾ ਪੁਰਖ ਕੀ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੪੦॥
eih baanee mahaa purakh kee nij ghar vaasaa hoe |40|

This is the Bani of the Supreme Being; through it, one dwells within the home of his inner being. ||40||

ਭਨਿ ਭਨਿ ਘੜੀਐ ਘੜਿ ਘੜਿ ਭਜੈ ਢਾਹਿ ਉਸਾਰੈ ਉਸਰੇ ਢਾਹੈ ॥
bhan bhan gharreeai gharr gharr bhajai dtaeh usaarai usare dtaahai |

Shattering and breaking apart, He creates and re-creates; creating, He shatters again. He builds up what He has demolished, and demolishes what He has built.

ਸਰ ਭਰਿ ਸੋਖੈ ਭੀ ਭਰਿ ਪੋਖੈ ਸਮਰਥ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹੈ ॥
sar bhar sokhai bhee bhar pokhai samarath veparavaahai |

He dries up the pools which are full, and fills the dried tanks again. He is all-powerful and independent.

ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਨੇ ਭਏ ਦਿਵਾਨੇ ਵਿਣੁ ਭਾਗਾ ਕਿਆ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
bharam bhulaane bhe divaane vin bhaagaa kiaa paaeeai |

Deluded by doubt, they have gone insane; without destiny, what do they obtain?

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਡੋਰੀ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਪਕੜੀ ਜਿਨ ਖਿੰਚੈ ਤਿਨ ਜਾਈਐ ॥
guramukh giaan ddoree prabh pakarree jin khinchai tin jaaeeai |

The Gurmukhs know that God holds the string; wherever He pulls it, they must go.

ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਪਛੋਤਾਈਐ ॥
har gun gaae sadaa rang raate bahurr na pachhotaaeeai |

Those who sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, are forever imbued with His Love; they never again feel regret.

ਭਭੈ ਭਾਲਹਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਤਾ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
bhabhai bhaaleh guramukh boojheh taa nij ghar vaasaa paaeeai |

Bhabha: If someone seeks, and then becomes Gurmukh, then he comes to dwell in the home of his own heart.

ਭਭੈ ਭਉਜਲੁ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਵਿਖੜਾ ਆਸ ਨਿਰਾਸਾ ਤਰੀਐ ॥
bhabhai bhaujal maarag vikharraa aas niraasaa tareeai |

Bhabha: The way of the terrifying world-ocean is treacherous. Remain free of hope, in the midst of hope, and you shall cross over.

ਗੁਰਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਆਪੋ ਚੀਨੑੈ ਜੀਵਤਿਆ ਇਵ ਮਰੀਐ ॥੪੧॥
guraparasaadee aapo cheenaai jeevatiaa iv mareeai |41|

By Guru's Grace, one comes to understand himself; in this way, he remains dead while yet alive. ||41||

ਮਾਇਆ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਮੁਏ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਿਸੈ ਨ ਸਾਥਿ ॥
maaeaa maaeaa kar mue maaeaa kisai na saath |

Crying out for the wealth and riches of Maya, they die; but Maya does not go along with them.

ਹੰਸੁ ਚਲੈ ਉਠਿ ਡੁਮਣੋ ਮਾਇਆ ਭੂਲੀ ਆਥਿ ॥
hans chalai utth ddumano maaeaa bhoolee aath |

The soul-swan arises and departs, sad and depressed, leaving its wealth behind.

ਮਨੁ ਝੂਠਾ ਜਮਿ ਜੋਹਿਆ ਅਵਗੁਣ ਚਲਹਿ ਨਾਲਿ ॥
man jhootthaa jam johiaa avagun chaleh naal |

The false mind is hunted by the Messenger of Death; it carries its faults along when it goes.

ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਮਨੁ ਉਲਟੋ ਮਰੈ ਜੇ ਗੁਣ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਨਾਲਿ ॥
man meh man ulatto marai je gun hoveh naal |

The mind turns inward, and merges with mind, when it is with virtue.
