ਮਃ ੧ ॥

mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਜੇ ਦੇਹੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਾਈਐ ਪਾਪ ਗਰਹ ਦੁਇ ਰਾਹੁ ॥

je dehai dukh laaeeai paap garah due raahu |

If my body were afflicted with pain, under the evil influence of unlucky stars;

ਰਤੁ ਪੀਣੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਸਿਰੈ ਉਪਰਿ ਰਖੀਅਹਿ ਏਵੈ ਜਾਪੈ ਭਾਉ ॥

rat peene raaje sirai upar rakheeeh evai jaapai bhaau |

and if the blood-sucking kings were to hold power over me

ਭੀ ਤੂੰਹੈ ਸਾਲਾਹਣਾ ਆਖਣ ਲਹੈ ਨ ਚਾਉ ॥੩॥

bhee toonhai saalaahanaa aakhan lahai na chaau |3|

-even if this were my condition, I would still worship and adore You, and my longing to chant Your Praises would not decrease. ||3||
