mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਭਉ ਭੁਇ ਪਵਿਤੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਸਤੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਬਲੇਦ ॥

bhau bhue pavit paanee sat santokh baled |

Make the Fear of God the farm, purity the water, truth and contentment the cows and bulls,

ਹਲੁ ਹਲੇਮੀ ਹਾਲੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਚੇਤਾ ਵਤ੍ਰ ਵਖਤ ਸੰਜੋਗੁ ॥

hal halemee haalee chit chetaa vatr vakhat sanjog |

humility the plow, consciousness the plowman, remembrance the preparation of the soil, and union with the Lord the planting time.

ਨਾਉ ਬੀਜੁ ਬਖਸੀਸ ਬੋਹਲ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਸਗਲ ਦਰੋਗ ॥

naau beej bakhasees bohal duneea sagal darog |

Let the Lord's Name be the seed, and His Forgiving Grace the harvest. Do this, and the whole world will seem false.

ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਕਰਮੁ ਹੋਇ ਜਾਵਹਿ ਸਗਲ ਵਿਜੋਗ ॥੨॥

naanak nadaree karam hoe jaaveh sagal vijog |2|

O Nanak, if He bestows His Merciful Glance of Grace, then all your separation will be ended. ||2||
