ਪਉੜੀ ੪
paurree 4
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੁਖ ਫਲੁ ਪਿਰਮ ਰਸੁ ਕਿਉ ਆਖਿ ਵਖਾਣੈ ।
guramukh sukh fal piram ras kiau aakh vakhaanai |
Quaffing the elixir of love giving fruits of delight, how could a gurmukh explain that ineffable joy?
ਸੁਣਿ ਸੁਣਿ ਆਖਣੁ ਆਖਣਾ ਓਹੁ ਸਾਉ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ।
sun sun aakhan aakhanaa ohu saau na jaanai |
Much is said and listened to but the people remain ignorant of its real taste.
ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਮਹੇਸੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਕਥਿ ਵੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਣੈ ।
brahamaa bisan mahes mil kath ved puraanai |
In the Vedas and Puranas, Brahma, Visnu and Mahesa have told enough about the delight of love.
ਚਾਰਿ ਕਤੇਬਾਂ ਆਖੀਅਨਿ ਦੀਨ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਣੈ ।
chaar katebaan aakheean deen musalamaanai |
One can see the four scriptures of semitic religion in this context.
ਸੇਖਨਾਗੁ ਸਿਮਰਣੁ ਕਰੈ ਸਾਂਗੀਤ ਸੁਹਾਣੈ ।
sekhanaag simaran karai saangeet suhaanai |
Sesanag also remembers it and all musical measures also are busy in adorning it.
ਅਨਹਦ ਨਾਦ ਅਸੰਖ ਸੁਣਿ ਹੋਏ ਹੈਰਾਣੈ ।
anahad naad asankh sun hoe hairaanai |
One becomes full of wonder after listening to the myriads of unstruck melodies,
ਅਕਥ ਕਥਾ ਕਰਿ ਨੇਤਿ ਨੇਤਿ ਪੀਲਾਏ ਭਾਣੈ ।੪।
akath kathaa kar net net peelaae bhaanai |4|
But the tale of that elixir, love, is ineffable which one fortunately drinks in the will of the Lord.
