ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ik oankaar satigur prasaad |

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

ਚਾਰਿ ਪੁਕਾਰਹਿ ਨਾ ਤੂ ਮਾਨਹਿ ॥

chaar pukaareh naa too maaneh |

The four Vedas proclaim it, but you don't believe them.

ਖਟੁ ਭੀ ਏਕਾ ਬਾਤ ਵਖਾਨਹਿ ॥

khatt bhee ekaa baat vakhaaneh |

The six Shaastras also say one thing.

ਦਸ ਅਸਟੀ ਮਿਲਿ ਏਕੋ ਕਹਿਆ ॥

das asattee mil eko kahiaa |

The eighteen Puraanas all speak of the One God.

ਤਾ ਭੀ ਜੋਗੀ ਭੇਦੁ ਨ ਲਹਿਆ ॥੧॥

taa bhee jogee bhed na lahiaa |1|

Even so, Yogi, you do not understand this mystery. ||1||

ਕਿੰਕੁਰੀ ਅਨੂਪ ਵਾਜੈ ॥

kinkuree anoop vaajai |

The celestial harp plays the incomparable melody,

ਜੋਗੀਆ ਮਤਵਾਰੋ ਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

jogeea matavaaro re |1| rahaau |

but in your intoxication, you do not hear it, O Yogi. ||1||Pause||

ਪ੍ਰਥਮੇ ਵਸਿਆ ਸਤ ਕਾ ਖੇੜਾ ॥

prathame vasiaa sat kaa kherraa |

In the first age, the Golden Age, the village of truth was inhabited.

ਤ੍ਰਿਤੀਏ ਮਹਿ ਕਿਛੁ ਭਇਆ ਦੁਤੇੜਾ ॥

tritee meh kichh bheaa duterraa |

In the Silver Age of Traytaa Yuga, things began to decline.

ਦੁਤੀਆ ਅਰਧੋ ਅਰਧਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥

duteea aradho aradh samaaeaa |

In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, half of it was gone.

ਏਕੁ ਰਹਿਆ ਤਾ ਏਕੁ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

ek rahiaa taa ek dikhaaeaa |2|

Now, only one leg of Truth remains, and the One Lord is revealed. ||2||

ਏਕੈ ਸੂਤਿ ਪਰੋਏ ਮਣੀਏ ॥

ekai soot paroe manee |

The beads are strung upon the one thread.

ਗਾਠੀ ਭਿਨਿ ਭਿਨਿ ਭਿਨਿ ਭਿਨਿ ਤਣੀਏ ॥

gaatthee bhin bhin bhin bhin tanee |

By means of many, various, diverse knots, they are tied, and kept separate on the string.

ਫਿਰਤੀ ਮਾਲਾ ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਭਾਇ ॥

firatee maalaa bahu bidh bhaae |

The beads of the mala are lovingly chanted upon in many ways.

ਖਿੰਚਿਆ ਸੂਤੁ ਤ ਆਈ ਥਾਇ ॥੩॥

khinchiaa soot ta aaee thaae |3|

When the thread is pulled out, the beads come together in one place. ||3||

ਚਹੁ ਮਹਿ ਏਕੈ ਮਟੁ ਹੈ ਕੀਆ ॥

chahu meh ekai matt hai keea |

Throughout the four ages, the One Lord made the body His temple.

ਤਹ ਬਿਖੜੇ ਥਾਨ ਅਨਿਕ ਖਿੜਕੀਆ ॥

teh bikharre thaan anik khirrakeea |

It is a treacherous place, with several windows.

ਖੋਜਤ ਖੋਜਤ ਦੁਆਰੇ ਆਇਆ ॥

khojat khojat duaare aaeaa |

Searching and searching, one comes to the Lord's door.

ਤਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋਗੀ ਮਹਲੁ ਘਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੪॥

taa naanak jogee mehal ghar paaeaa |4|

Then, O Nanak, the Yogi attains a home in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||4||

ਇਉ ਕਿੰਕੁਰੀ ਆਨੂਪ ਵਾਜੈ ॥

eiau kinkuree aanoop vaajai |

Thus, the celestial harp plays the incomparable melody;

ਸੁਣਿ ਜੋਗੀ ਕੈ ਮਨਿ ਮੀਠੀ ਲਾਗੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ਦੂਜਾ ॥੧॥੧੨॥

sun jogee kai man meetthee laagai |1| rahaau doojaa |1|12|

hearing it, the Yogi's mind finds it sweet. ||1||Second Pause||1||12||
