Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥

aaeo sunan parran kau baanee |

The mortal came to hear and chant the Word of the Guru's Bani.

ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

naam visaar lageh an laalach birathaa janam paraanee |1| rahaau |

But he has forgotten the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and he has become attached to other temptations. His life is totally worthless! ||1||Pause||

ਸਮਝੁ ਅਚੇਤ ਚੇਤਿ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਕਥੀ ਸੰਤਨ ਅਕਥ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥

samajh achet chet man mere kathee santan akath kahaanee |

O my unconscious mind, become conscious and figure it out; the Saints speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

ਲਾਭੁ ਲੈਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਿਦੈ ਅਰਾਧਹੁ ਛੁਟਕੈ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣੀ ॥੧॥

laabh laihu har ridai araadhahu chhuttakai aavan jaanee |1|

So gather in your profits - worship and adore the Lord within your heart; your coming and going in reincarnation shall end. ||1||

ਉਦਮੁ ਸਕਤਿ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਤੁਮੑਰੀ ਦੇਹਿ ਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣੀ ॥

audam sakat siaanap tumaree dehi ta naam vakhaanee |

Efforts, powers and clever tricks are Yours; if You bless me with them, I repeat Your Name.

ਸੇਈ ਭਗਤ ਭਗਤਿ ਸੇ ਲਾਗੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਣੀ ॥੨॥੫੬॥੭੯॥

seee bhagat bhagat se laage naanak jo prabh bhaanee |2|56|79|

They alone are devotees, and they alone are attached to devotional worship, O Nanak, who are pleasing to God. ||2||56||79||
