Kaanraa, Fourth Mehl:

ਮਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਗਾਵੈਗੋ ॥

man har rang raataa gaavaigo |

O mind, be attuned to His Love, and sing.

ਭੈ ਭੈ ਤ੍ਰਾਸ ਭਏ ਹੈ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਲਾਗਿ ਲਗਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

The Fear of God makes me fearless and immaculate; I am dyed in the color of the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause||

ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਸਦ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ਹਰਿ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਤਿਨਾ ਘਰਿ ਆਵੈਗੋ ॥

har rang raataa sad bairaagee har nikatt tinaa ghar aavaigo |

Those who are attuned to the Lord's Love remain balanced and detached forever; they live near the Lord, who comes into their house.

ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਪੰਕ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੀਵਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਆਪਿ ਦਿਵਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੧॥

tin kee pank milai taan jeevaa kar kirapaa aap divaavaigo |1|

If I am blessed with the dust of their feet, then I live. Granting His Grace, He Himself bestows it. ||1||

ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਲੋਭਿ ਲਗੇ ਹੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਰੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਨ ਆਵੈਗੋ ॥

dubidhaa lobh lage hai praanee man korai rang na aavaigo |

Mortal beings are attached to greed and duality. Their minds are unripe and unfit, and will not accept the Dye of His Love.

ਫਿਰਿ ਉਲਟਿਓ ਜਨਮੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੨॥

fir ulattio janam hovai gur bachanee gur purakh milai rang laavaigo |2|

But their lives are transformed through the Word of the Guru's Teachings. Meeting with the Guru, the Primal Being, they are dyed in the color of His Love. ||2||

eindree dase dase fun dhaavat trai guneea khin na ttikaavaigo |

There are ten organs of sense and action; the ten wander unrestrained. Under the influence of the three dispositions, they are not stable, even for an instant.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਰਚੈ ਵਸਗਤਿ ਆਵੈ ਮੋਖ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਸੋ ਪਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੩॥

satigur parachai vasagat aavai mokh mukat so paavaigo |3|

Coming in contact with the True Guru, they are brought under control; then, salvation and liberation are attained. ||3||

ਓਅੰਕਾਰਿ ਏਕੋ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਭੁ ਏਕਸ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਵੈਗੋ ॥

The One and Only Creator of the Universe is All-pervading everywhere. All shall once again merge into the One.

ਏਕੋ ਰੂਪੁ ਏਕੋ ਬਹੁ ਰੰਗੀ ਸਭੁ ਏਕਤੁ ਬਚਨਿ ਚਲਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੪॥

His One Form has one, and many colors; He leads all according to His One Word. ||4||

The Gurmukh realizes the One and Only Lord; He is revealed to the Gurmukh.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਨਿਜ ਮਹਲੀ ਅਨਹਦ ਸਬਦੁ ਬਜਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੫॥

guramukh jaae milai nij mahalee anahad sabad bajaavaigo |5|

The Gurmukh goes and meets the Lord in His Mansion deep within; the Unstruck Word of the Shabad vibrates there. ||5||

ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਭ ਸਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੋਭਾ ਪਾਵੈਗੋ ॥

jeea jant sabh sisatt upaaee guramukh sobhaa paavaigo |

God created all the beings and creatures of the universe; He blesses the Gurmukh with glory.

ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਕੋ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਆਇ ਜਾਇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੬॥

bin gur bhette ko mehal na paavai aae jaae dukh paavaigo |6|

Without meeting the Guru, no one obtains the Mansion of His Presence. They suffer the agony of coming and going in reincarnation. ||6||

ਅਨੇਕ ਜਨਮ ਵਿਛੁੜੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਵੈਗੋ ॥

For countless lifetimes, I have been separated from my Beloved; in His Mercy, the Guru has united me with Him.

O Lord, Har, Har, please grant Your Grace; O Life of the World, instill faith in the Naam within me.
