Ang 1Vaar 2Bhai Gurdas

ਬਿਰਖੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਬੀਉ ਬੀਜੀਐ ਕਰਦਾ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ।

birakh hovai beeo beejeeai karadaa paasaaraa |

From seed comes up the tree and then it spreads further.

ਜੜ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪੇਡ ਬਾਹਰਾ ਬਹੁ ਡਾਲ ਬਿਸਥਾਰਾ ।

jarr andar pedd baaharaa bahu ddaal bisathaaraa |

Root extends in earth, the stem outside and the branches extend all around.

ਪਤ ਫੁਲ ਫਲ ਫਲੀਦਾ ਰਸ ਰੰਗ ਸਵਾਰਾ ।

pat ful fal faleedaa ras rang savaaraa |

It becomes full of flowers, fruits, and means of many colours and delightful essences.

ਵਾਸੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ਉਲਾਸੁ ਕਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਵਡ ਪਰਵਾਰਾ ।

vaas nivaas ulaas kar hoe vadd paravaaraa |

In its flowers and fruits dwell fragrance and joy and now this seed becomes a large family.

ਫਲ ਵਿਚਿ ਬੀਉ ਸੰਜੀਉ ਹੋਇ ਫਲ ਫਲੇ ਹਜਾਰਾ ।

fal vich beeo sanjeeo hoe fal fale hajaaraa |

Again the fruit by producing seeds becomes the source of myriad flowers and fruits.

ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਿਸਤਾਰਾ ।੯।

aape aap varatadaa guramukh nisataaraa |9|

Understanding of this very fact that the Lord alone is among all makes the gurmukh liberated.
