mahalaa 4 |

Fourth Mehl:

ਜਿ ਹੋਂਦੈ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਹਿ ਟਿਕਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਵਡੀ ਹੋਈ ॥

ji hondai guroo beh ttikiaa tis jan kee vaddiaaee vaddee hoee |

Great is the greatness of that humble being, whom the Guru Himself anointed in His Presence.

ਤਿਸੁ ਕਉ ਜਗਤੁ ਨਿਵਿਆ ਸਭੁ ਪੈਰੀ ਪਇਆ ਜਸੁ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਲੋਈ ॥

tis kau jagat niviaa sabh pairee peaa jas varatiaa loee |

All the world comes and bows to him, falling at his feet. His praises spread throughout the world.

ਤਿਸ ਕਉ ਖੰਡ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੁ ਕਰਹਿ ਜਿਸ ਕੈ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਹਥੁ ਧਰਿਆ ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਸੋ ਪੂਰਾ ਹੋਈ ॥

tis kau khandd brahamandd namasakaar kareh jis kai masatak hath dhariaa gur poorai so pooraa hoee |

The galaxies and solar systems bow in reverence to him; the Perfect Guru has placed His hand upon his head, and he has become perfect.

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਨਿਤ ਚੜੈ ਸਵਾਈ ਅਪੜਿ ਕੋ ਨ ਸਕੋਈ ॥

gur kee vaddiaaee nit charrai savaaee aparr ko na sakoee |

The glorious greatness of the Guru increases day by day; no one can equal it.

ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਹਰਿ ਕਰਤੈ ਆਪਿ ਬਹਿ ਟਿਕਿਆ ਆਪੇ ਪੈਜ ਰਖੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਈ ॥੩॥

jan naanak har karatai aap beh ttikiaa aape paij rakhai prabh soee |3|

O servant Nanak, the Creator Lord Himself established him; God preserves his honor. ||3||
