SWAYYA
ਭੇਟ ਭੁਜਾ ਭਰਿ ਅੰਕਿ ਭਲੇ ਭਰਿ ਨੈਨ ਦੋਊ ਨਿਰਖੇ ਰਘੁਰਾਈ ॥
bhett bhujaa bhar ank bhale bhar nain doaoo nirakhe raghuraaee |
With tears of joy in both his eyes and meeting affectionately with his people Ram entered Ayodhya.
ਗੁੰਜਤ ਭ੍ਰਿੰਗ ਕਪੋਲਨ ਊਪਰ ਨਾਗ ਲਵੰਗ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ॥
gunjat bhring kapolan aoopar naag lavang rahe liv laaee |
The black bees were humming on the cheeks and the braids of long hair of Sita were hanging like the Nagas looking towards her face.
ਕੰਜ ਕੁਰੰਗ ਕਲਾ ਨਿਧ ਕੇਹਰਿ ਕੋਕਿਲ ਹੇਰ ਹੀਏ ਹਹਰਾਈ ॥
kanj kurang kalaa nidh kehar kokil her hee haharaaee |
The lotus, deer, moon, lioness and nightingale were perplexed in their minds and seeing her (eyes, agility, beauty, courage and sweet voice respectively).
ਬਾਲ ਲਖੈਂ ਛਬਿ ਖਾਟ ਪਰੈਂ ਨਹਿ ਬਾਟ ਚਲੈ ਨਿਰਖੇ ਅਧਿਕਾਈ ॥੧੫੪॥
baal lakhain chhab khaatt parain neh baatt chalai nirakhe adhikaaee |154|
The children, seeing her beauty, also were falling unconscious and the travelers abandoning their path, were looking at her.154.
ਸੀਅ ਰਹੀ ਮੁਰਛਾਇ ਮਨੈ ਰਨਿ ਰਾਮ ਕਹਾ ਮਨ ਬਾਤ ਧਰੈਂਗੇ ॥
seea rahee murachhaae manai ran raam kahaa man baat dharainge |
Sita was getting worried on reflecting whether Ram will agree with her sayings or not
ਤੋਰਿ ਸਰਾਸਨਿ ਸੰਕਰ ਕੋ ਜਿਮ ਮੋਹਿ ਬਰਿਓ ਤਿਮ ਅਉਰ ਬਰੈਂਗੇ ॥
tor saraasan sankar ko jim mohi bario tim aaur barainge |
And also whether it can happen that Ram may wed another woman like wedding me on breaking the bow of Shiva.
ਦੂਸਰ ਬਯਾਹ ਬਧੂ ਅਬ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਮੁਹਿ ਨਾਥ ਬਿਸਾਰ ਡਰੈਂਗੇ ॥
doosar bayaah badhoo ab hee man te muhi naath bisaar ddarainge |
If he thinks another marriage in his mind, then her Lord on forgetting her, will fill her life definitely with unrest.
ਦੇਖਤ ਹੌ ਨਿਜ ਭਾਗ ਭਲੇ ਬਿਧ ਆਜ ਕਹਾ ਇਹ ਠੌਰ ਕਰੈਂਗੇ ॥੧੫੫॥
dekhat hau nij bhaag bhale bidh aaj kahaa ih tthauar karainge |155|
Let us see that is recorded in my fate and what he will do in future?155.
ਤਉ ਹੀ ਲਉ ਰਾਮ ਜਿਤੇ ਦਿਜ ਕਉ ਅਪਨੇ ਦਲ ਆਇ ਬਜਾਇ ਬਧਾਈ ॥
tau hee lau raam jite dij kau apane dal aae bajaae badhaaee |
At that same time, the groups of Brahmins came forward and began and thither in joy.
ਭਗੁਲ ਲੋਕ ਫਿਰੈ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਰਣ ਮੋ ਲਖਿ ਰਾਘਵ ਕੀ ਅਧਕਾਈ ॥
bhagul lok firai sabh hee ran mo lakh raaghav kee adhakaaee |
Hearing about the victory of Ram in the war, all the people ran hither and thither in joy.
ਸੀਅ ਰਹੀ ਰਨ ਰਾਮ ਜਿਤੇ ਅਵਧੇਸਰ ਬਾਤ ਜਬੈ ਸੁਨਿ ਪਾਈ ॥
seea rahee ran raam jite avadhesar baat jabai sun paaee |
When Dasrath came to know that after conquering Sita, Ram has also conquered the war,
ਫੂਲਿ ਗ︀ਯੋ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਮੈ ਧਨ ਕੇ ਘਨ ਕੀ ਬਰਖਾ ਬਰਖਾਈ ॥੧੫੬॥
fool gayo at hee man mai dhan ke ghan kee barakhaa barakhaaee |156|
Then his delight knew no bounds and he showered the wealth like the rain of clouds.156.
ਬੰਦਨਵਾਰ ਬਧੀ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਦਰ ਚੰਦਨ ਸੌ ਛਿਰਕੇ ਗ੍ਰਹ ਸਾਰੇ ॥
bandanavaar badhee sabh hee dar chandan sau chhirake grah saare |
The doors of all the subjects were bedecked with greetings and the sandalwood was sprinkled over all the houses.
ਕੇਸਰ ਡਾਰਿ ਬਰਾਤਨ ਪੈ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਜਨ ਹੁਇ ਪੁਰਹੂਤ ਪਧਾਰੇ ॥
kesar ddaar baraatan pai sabh hee jan hue purahoot padhaare |
Saffron was sprinkled over all the companions (of Ram) and it seemed that Indra was entering his city.
ਬਾਜਤ ਤਾਲ ਮੁਚੰਗ ਪਖਾਵਜ ਨਾਚਤ ਕੋਟਨਿ ਕੋਟਿ ਅਖਾਰੇ ॥

The drums and other musical instruments resounded and the dances of various kinds were arranged.
ਆਨਿ ਮਿਲੇ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਅਗੂਆ ਸੁਤ ਕਉ ਪਿਤੁ ਲੈ ਪੁਰ ਅਉਧ ਸਿਧਾਰੇ ॥੧੫੭॥
aan mile sabh hee agooaa sut kau pit lai pur aaudh sidhaare |157|
All the people advanced to meet Ram and the father Dasrath took his son with him and reached Oudhpuri (in his palaces).157.
