paurree 17

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਭੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੰਮਣਾ ਭੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਭੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਚਲਣਾ ।

guramukh bhai vich jamanaa bhai vich rahinaa bhai vich chalanaa |

The gurmukhs take birth in the divine will, they remain in the divine will and move in the divine will.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਭੈ ਭਾਇ ਵਿਚਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਕਰਿ ਅਛਲੁ ਛਲਣਾ ।

saadhasangat bhai bhaae vich bhagat vachhal kar achhal chhalanaa |

In the discipline and love of the holy congregation they fascinate the Lord God also.

ਜਲ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਵਲੁ ਅਲਿਪਤ ਹੋਇ ਆਸ ਨਿਰਾਸ ਵਲੇਵੈ ਵਲਣਾ ।

jal vich kaval alipat hoe aas niraas valevai valanaa |

Being detached like lotus in the water they remain away from the cycle of hopes and disappointments.

ਅਹਰਣਿ ਘਣ ਹੀਰੇ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਅਟਲੁ ਨ ਟਲਣਾ ।

aharan ghan heere jugat guramat nihachal attal na ttalanaa |

They remain steadfast like a diamond in between the hammer and the anvil and live their life deeply rooted in the wisdom of the Guru (gurmati).

ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੀਅ ਦੈਆ ਮੋਮ ਵਾਂਗੀ ਢਲਣਾ ।

praupakaar veechaar vich jeea daiaa mom vaangee dtalanaa |

They always imbibe altruism in their heart and in the sphere of compassion they melt like wax.

ਚਾਰਿ ਵਰਨ ਤੰਬੋਲ ਰਸੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ਰਲਾਇਆ ਰਲਣਾ ।

chaar varan tanbol ras aap gavaae ralaaeaa ralanaa |

As four items mix up in betel and become one, likewise the gurmukhs get adjusted with every one.

ਵਟੀ ਤੇਲੁ ਦੀਵਾ ਹੋਇ ਬਲਣਾ ।੧੭।

vattee tel deevaa hoe balanaa |17|

They, in the form of lamp becoming wick and oil, burn themselves (for lighting others).
