Ang 659Raag SorathBhagat Bheekhan

ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਨਿਰਮੋਲਕੁ ਪੁੰਨਿ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

aisaa naam ratan niramolak pun padaarath paaeaa |

Such is the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the invaluable jewel, the most sublime wealth, which I have found through good deeds.

ਅਨਿਕ ਜਤਨ ਕਰਿ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਰਤਨੁ ਨ ਛਪੈ ਛਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥

anik jatan kar hiradai raakhiaa ratan na chhapai chhapaaeaa |1|

By various efforts, I have enshrined it within my heart; this jewel cannot be hidden by hiding it. ||1||

ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਕਹਤੇ ਕਹਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥

har gun kahate kehan na jaaee |

The Glorious Praises of the Lord cannot be spoken by speaking.

ਜੈਸੇ ਗੂੰਗੇ ਕੀ ਮਿਠਿਆਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

jaise goonge kee mitthiaaee |1| rahaau |

They are like the sweet candies given to a mute. ||1||Pause||

ਰਸਨਾ ਰਮਤ ਸੁਨਤ ਸੁਖੁ ਸ੍ਰਵਨਾ ਚਿਤ ਚੇਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ॥

rasanaa ramat sunat sukh sravanaa chit chete sukh hoee |

The tongue speaks, the ears listen, and the mind contemplates the Lord; they find peace and comfort.

ਕਹੁ ਭੀਖਨ ਦੁਇ ਨੈਨ ਸੰਤੋਖੇ ਜਹ ਦੇਖਾਂ ਤਹ ਸੋਈ ॥੨॥੨॥

kahu bheekhan due nain santokhe jeh dekhaan teh soee |2|2|

Says Bheekhan, my eyes are content; wherever I look, there I see the Lord. ||2||2||
