sireeraag mehal 1 |

Siree Raag, First Mehl:

ਤਨੁ ਜਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਮਾਟੀ ਭਇਆ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਮਨੂਰੁ ॥

tan jal bal maattee bheaa man maaeaa mohi manoor |

The body is burnt to ashes; by its love of Maya, the mind is rusted through.

ਅਉਗਣ ਫਿਰਿ ਲਾਗੂ ਭਏ ਕੂਰਿ ਵਜਾਵੈ ਤੂਰੁ ॥

aaugan fir laagoo bhe koor vajaavai toor |

Demerits become one's enemies, and falsehood blows the bugle of attack.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਭਰਮਾਈਐ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਡੋਬੇ ਪੂਰੁ ॥੧॥

bin sabadai bharamaaeeai dubidhaa ddobe poor |1|

Without the Word of the Shabad, people wander lost in reincarnation. Through the love of duality, multitudes have been drowned. ||1||

ਮਨ ਰੇ ਸਬਦਿ ਤਰਹੁ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇ ॥

man re sabad tarahu chit laae |

O mind, swim across, by focusing your consciousness on the Shabad.

ਜਿਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਬੂਝਿਆ ਮਰਿ ਜਨਮੈ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

jin guramukh naam na boojhiaa mar janamai aavai jaae |1| rahaau |

Those who do not become Gurmukh do not understand the Naam; they die, and continue coming and going in reincarnation. ||1||Pause||

ਤਨੁ ਸੂਚਾ ਸੋ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਹਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਨਾਉ ॥

tan soochaa so aakheeai jis meh saachaa naau |

That body is said to be pure, in which the True Name abides.

ਭੈ ਸਚਿ ਰਾਤੀ ਦੇਹੁਰੀ ਜਿਹਵਾ ਸਚੁ ਸੁਆਉ ॥

bhai sach raatee dehuree jihavaa sach suaau |

One whose body is imbued with the Fear of the True One, and whose tongue savors Truthfulness,

ਸਚੀ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਲੀਐ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਤਾਉ ॥੨॥

sachee nadar nihaaleeai bahurr na paavai taau |2|

is brought to ecstasy by the True Lord's Glance of Grace. That person does not have to go through the fire of the womb again. ||2||

ਸਾਚੇ ਤੇ ਪਵਨਾ ਭਇਆ ਪਵਨੈ ਤੇ ਜਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥

saache te pavanaa bheaa pavanai te jal hoe |

From the True Lord came the air, and from the air came water.

ਜਲ ਤੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮੋਇ ॥

jal te tribhavan saajiaa ghatt ghatt jot samoe |

From water, He created the three worlds; in each and every heart He has infused His Light.

ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਮੈਲਾ ਨਾ ਥੀਐ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥੩॥

niramal mailaa naa theeai sabad rate pat hoe |3|

The Immaculate Lord does not become polluted. Attuned to the Shabad, honor is obtained. ||3||

ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਸਾਚਿ ਸੰਤੋਖਿਆ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਾਹਿ ॥

eihu man saach santokhiaa nadar kare tis maeh |

One whose mind is contented with Truthfulness, is blessed with the Lord's Glance of Grace.

ਪੰਚ ਭੂਤ ਸਚਿ ਭੈ ਰਤੇ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਚੀ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥

panch bhoot sach bhai rate jot sachee man maeh |

The body of the five elements is dyed in the Fear of the True One; the mind is filled with the True Light.

ਨਾਨਕ ਅਉਗਣ ਵੀਸਰੇ ਗੁਰਿ ਰਾਖੇ ਪਤਿ ਤਾਹਿ ॥੪॥੧੫॥

naanak aaugan veesare gur raakhe pat taeh |4|15|

O Nanak, your demerits shall be forgotten; the Guru shall preserve your honor. ||4||15||
