ਪਉੜੀ ੧੩

paurree 13

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪੰਥੁ ਅਗੰਮ ਹੈ ਜਿਉ ਜਲ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਮੀਨੁ ਚਲੰਦਾ ।

guramukh panth agam hai jiau jal andar meen chalandaa |

As the path of fish in water is unknowable, the way of gurmukhs is also unapproachable.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਖੋਜੁ ਅਲਖੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਉ ਪੰਖੀ ਆਗਾਸ ਉਡੰਦਾ ।

guramukh khoj alakh hai jiau pankhee aagaas uddandaa |

As the path of birds flying in the sky cannot be known, the thoughtful and search-orientated way of gurmukh is also imperceptible. It cannot be understood.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਰਹਰਾਸਿ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਚੰਦਉਰੀ ਨਗਰੁ ਵਸੰਦਾ ।

saadhasangat raharaas hai har chandauree nagar vasandaa |

Holy congregation is the straight path for gurmukhs and this world is full of illusions for them.

ਚਾਰਿ ਵਰਨ ਤੰਬੋਲ ਰਸੁ ਪਿਰਮ ਪਿਆਲੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਚਰੰਦਾ ।

chaar varan tanbol ras piram piaalai rang charandaa |

As the four colours of betel catechu, betelnut, lime and betel lead become one (red) colour (of joy-giving love), the gurmukhs also enjoy the cup of the Lord's love.

ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਲਿਵ ਲੀਣੁ ਹੋਇ ਚੰਦਨ ਵਾਸ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਕਰੰਦਾ ।

sabad surat liv leen hoe chandan vaas nivaas karandaa |

As the fragrance of sandal comes to reside in other plants, they merging their consciousness into Word reside in the hearts of others.

ਗਿਆਨੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਸਿਮਰਣੁ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕੂੰਜਿ ਕੂਰਮ ਹੰਸ ਵੰਸ ਵਧੰਦਾ ।

giaan dhiaan simaran jugat koonj kooram hans vans vadhandaa |

By means of knowledge, meditation and remembrance, they like cranes, tortoise and swans expand their family or tradition.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੁਖ ਫਲੁ ਅਲਖ ਲਖੰਦਾ ।੧੩।

guramukh sukh fal alakh lakhandaa |13|

The gurmukhs come face to face with God, the pleasure of all fruits.
