Chhant:

ਮਿਲਿ ਜਲੁ ਜਲਹਿ ਖਟਾਨਾ ਰਾਮ ॥

mil jal jaleh khattaanaa raam |

As water mixes and blends with water,

ਸੰਗਿ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਨਾ ਰਾਮ ॥

sang jotee jot milaanaa raam |

so does one's light mix and blend with the Lord's Light.

ਸੰਮਾਇ ਪੂਰਨ ਪੁਰਖ ਕਰਤੇ ਆਪਿ ਆਪਹਿ ਜਾਣੀਐ ॥

samaae pooran purakh karate aap aapeh jaaneeai |

Merging with the perfect, all-powerful Creator, one comes to know his own self.

ਤਹ ਸੁੰਨਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਲਾਗੀ ਏਕੁ ਏਕੁ ਵਖਾਣੀਐ ॥

teh sun sehaj samaadh laagee ek ek vakhaaneeai |

Then, he enters the celestial state of absolute Samaadhi, and speaks of the One and Only Lord.

ਆਪਿ ਗੁਪਤਾ ਆਪਿ ਮੁਕਤਾ ਆਪਿ ਆਪੁ ਵਖਾਨਾ ॥

aap gupataa aap mukataa aap aap vakhaanaa |

He Himself is unmanifest, and He Himself is liberated; He Himself speaks of Himself.

ਨਾਨਕ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਭੈ ਗੁਣ ਬਿਨਾਸੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਜਲੁ ਜਲਹਿ ਖਟਾਨਾ ॥੪॥੨॥

naanak bhram bhai gun binaase mil jal jaleh khattaanaa |4|2|

O Nanak, doubt, fear and the limitations of the three qualities are dispelled, as one merges into the Lord, like water blending with water. ||4||2||
