ਗੂਜਰੀ ਘਰੁ ੧ ॥

goojaree ghar 1 |

Goojaree, First House:

ਮਲੈ ਨ ਲਾਛੈ ਪਾਰ ਮਲੋ ਪਰਮਲੀਓ ਬੈਠੋ ਰੀ ਆਈ ॥

malai na laachhai paar malo paramaleeo baittho ree aaee |

He does not have even a trace of impurity - He is beyond impurity. He is fragrantly scented - He has come to take His Seat in my mind.

ਆਵਤ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪੇਖਿਓ ਕਵਨੈ ਜਾਣੈ ਰੀ ਬਾਈ ॥੧॥

aavat kinai na pekhio kavanai jaanai ree baaee |1|

No one saw Him come - who can know Him, O Siblings of Destiny? ||1||

ਕਉਣੁ ਕਹੈ ਕਿਣਿ ਬੂਝੀਐ ਰਮਈਆ ਆਕੁਲੁ ਰੀ ਬਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

kaun kahai kin boojheeai rameea aakul ree baaee |1| rahaau |

Who can describe Him? Who can understand Him? The all-pervading Lord has no ancestors, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||

ਜਿਉ ਆਕਾਸੈ ਪੰਖੀਅਲੋ ਖੋਜੁ ਨਿਰਖਿਓ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥

jiau aakaasai pankheealo khoj nirakhio na jaaee |

As the path of a bird's flight across the sky cannot be seen,

ਜਿਉ ਜਲ ਮਾਝੈ ਮਾਛਲੋ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਪੇਖਣੋ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥੨॥

jiau jal maajhai maachhalo maarag pekhano na jaaee |2|

and the path of a fish through the water cannot be seen;||2||

ਜਿਉ ਆਕਾਸੈ ਘੜੂਅਲੋ ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਭਰਿਆ ॥

jiau aakaasai gharrooalo mrig trisanaa bhariaa |

As the mirage leads one to mistake the sky for a pitcher filled with water

ਨਾਮੇ ਚੇ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਬੀਠਲੋ ਜਿਨਿ ਤੀਨੈ ਜਰਿਆ ॥੩॥੨॥

naame che suaamee beetthalo jin teenai jariaa |3|2|

- so is God, the Lord and Master of Naam Dayv, who fits these three comparisons. ||3||2||
