Ang 1Vaar 4Bhai Gurdas

ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੀ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਸੁਣਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਿਆਣਾ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਭੋਲਾ ।

gur sikhee gurasikh sun andar siaanaa baahar bholaa |

Listening to the teachings of the Guru, the Sikh becomes wise internally though apparently he looks a simpleton.

ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਾਵਧਾਨ ਹੋਇ ਵਿਣੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਨ ਸੁਣਈ ਬੋਲਾ ।

sabad surat saavadhaan hoe vin gur sabad na sunee bolaa |

He with full care keeps his consciousness attuned to the Word and listens to nothing except the words of Guru.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖਣਾ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਵਿਣੁ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਾ ਖੋਲਾ ।

satigur darasan dekhanaa saadhasangat vin anhaa kholaa |

He beholds the true Guru and without the company of the saints feels himself blind and deaf.

ਵਾਹਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਲੈ ਪਿਰਮ ਪਿਆਲਾ ਚੁਪਿ ਚਬੋਲਾ ।

vaahaguroo gur sabad lai piram piaalaa chup chabolaa |

The Guru's word he receives is Vahiguru, the wondrous Lord, and remains silently immersed in delight.

ਪੈਰੀ ਪੈ ਪਾ ਖਾਕ ਹੋਇ ਚਰਣਿ ਧੋਇ ਚਰਣੋਦਕ ਝੋਲਾ ।

pairee pai paa khaak hoe charan dhoe charanodak jholaa |

He bows on the feet and becoming (humble) like dust goes on quaffing the nectar of the feet (of the Lord).

ਚਰਣ ਕਵਲ ਚਿਤੁ ਭਵਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਭਵਜਲ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਰਹੈ ਨਿਰੋਲਾ ।

charan kaval chit bhavar kar bhavajal andar rahai nirolaa |

He remains involved like black bee in the lotus feet (of the Guru) and thus living in this world ocean remains unsmeared (by its water and dust).

ਜੀਵਣਿ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਸਚਾਵਾ ਚੋਲਾ ।੧੭।

jeevan mukat sachaavaa cholaa |17|

His is life of a liberated one during the life on earth i.e. he is a jivanmukt'.
