ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥
saarag mahalaa 3 |
Saarang, Third Mehl:
ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਕੀ ਅਕਥ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥
man mere har kee akath kahaanee |
O my mind, the Speech of the Lord is unspoken.
ਹਰਿ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਪਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਿਰਲੈ ਜਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har nadar kare soee jan paae guramukh viralai jaanee |1| rahaau |
That humble being who is blessed by the Lord's Glance of Grace, obtains it. How rare is that Gurmukh who understands. ||1||Pause||
ਹਰਿ ਗਹਿਰ ਗੰਭੀਰੁ ਗੁਣੀ ਗਹੀਰੁ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਪਛਾਨਿਆ ॥
har gahir ganbheer gunee gaheer gur kai sabad pachhaaniaa |
The Lord is Deep, Profound and Unfathomable, the Ocean of Excellence; He is realized through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਕਰਮ ਕਰਹਿ ਭਾਇ ਦੂਜੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਬਉਰਾਨਿਆ ॥੧॥
bahu bidh karam kareh bhaae doojai bin sabadai bauraaniaa |1|
Mortals do their deeds in all sorts of ways, in the love of duality; but without the Shabad, they are insane. ||1||
ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਾਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਫਿਰਿ ਮੈਲਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥
har naam naavai soee jan niramal fir mailaa mool na hoee |
That humble being who bathes in the Lord's Name becomes immaculate; he never becomes polluted again.
ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਹੈ ਮੈਲਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਪਤਿ ਖੋਈ ॥੨॥
naam binaa sabh jag hai mailaa doojai bharam pat khoee |2|
Without the Name, the whole world is polluted; wandering in duality, it loses its honor. ||2||
ਕਿਆ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਂ ਕਿਆ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਤਿਆਗੀ ਮੈ ਤਾ ਬੂਝ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥
kiaa drirraan kiaa sangreh tiaagee mai taa boojh na paaee |
What should I grasp? What should I gather up or leave behind? I do not know.
ਹੋਹਿ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਨਾਮੋ ਹੋਇ ਸਖਾਈ ॥੩॥
hohi deaal kripaa kar har jeeo naamo hoe sakhaaee |3|
O Dear Lord, Your Name is the Help and Support of those whom You bless with Your kindness and compassion. ||3||
ਸਚਾ ਸਚੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਕਰਮ ਬਿਧਾਤਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਨਾਇ ਲਾਏ ॥
sachaa sach daataa karam bidhaataa jis bhaavai tis naae laae |
The True Lord is the True Giver, the Architect of Destiny; as He pleases, He links mortals to the Name.
ਗੁਰੂ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਸੋਈ ਬੂਝੈ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ॥੪॥
guroo duaarai soee boojhai jis no aap bujhaae |4|
He alone comes to understand, who enters the Guru's Gate, whom the Lord Himself instructs. ||4||
ਦੇਖਿ ਬਿਸਮਾਦੁ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਨਹੀ ਚੇਤੇ ਆਵਾ ਗਉਣੁ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥
dekh bisamaad ihu man nahee chete aavaa gaun sansaaraa |
Even gazing upon the wonders of the Lord, this mind does not think of Him. The world comes and goes in reincarnation.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵੇ ਸੋਈ ਬੂਝੈ ਪਾਏ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰਾ ॥੫॥
satigur seve soee boojhai paae mokh duaaraa |5|
Serving the True Guru, the mortal comes to understand, and finds the Door of Salvation. ||5||
ਜਿਨੑ ਦਰੁ ਸੂਝੈ ਸੇ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਵਿਗਾੜਹਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਬੂਝ ਬੁਝਾਈ ॥
jina dar soojhai se kade na vigaarreh satigur boojh bujhaaee |
Those who understand the Lord's Court, never suffer separation from him. The True Guru has imparted this understanding.
ਸਚੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਕਰਣੀ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣੁ ਰਹਾਈ ॥੬॥
sach sanjam karanee kirat kamaaveh aavan jaan rahaaee |6|
They practice truth, self-restraint and good deeds; their comings and goings are ended. ||6||
ਸੇ ਦਰਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਾਚੁ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਚੁ ਅਧਾਰਾ ॥
se dar saachai saach kamaaveh jin guramukh saach adhaaraa |
In the Court of the True Lord, they practice Truth. The Gurmukhs take the Support of the True Lord.
ਮਨਮੁਖ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਏ ਨਾ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ॥੭॥
manamukh doojai bharam bhulaae naa boojheh veechaaraa |7|
The self-willed manmukhs wander, lost in doubt and duality. They do not know how to contemplate the Lord. ||7||
ਆਪੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਵੈ ਆਪੇ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ॥
aape guramukh aape devai aape kar kar vekhai |
He Himself is the Gurmukh, and He Himself gives; He Himself creates and beholds.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਥਾਇ ਪਏ ਹੈ ਜਿਨ ਕੀ ਪਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ ਲੇਖੈ ॥੮॥੩॥
naanak se jan thaae pe hai jin kee pat paavai lekhai |8|3|
O Nanak, those humble beings are approved, whose honor the Lord Himself accepts. ||8||3||
