ਭੈਰਉ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥

Bhairao, Third Mehl:

ਬਾਝੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਜਗਤੁ ਬਉਰਾਨਾ ਭੂਲਾ ਚੋਟਾ ਖਾਈ ॥

baajh guroo jagat bauraanaa bhoolaa chottaa khaaee |

Without the Guru, the world is insane; confused and deluded, it is beaten, and it suffers.

ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਸਦਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਦਰ ਕੀ ਖਬਰਿ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥

mar mar jamai sadaa dukh paae dar kee khabar na paaee |1|

It dies and dies again, and is reborn, always in pain, but it is unaware of the Lord's Gate. ||1||

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਸਦਾ ਰਹਹੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਾ ॥

mere man sadaa rahahu satigur kee saranaa |

O my mind, remain always in the Protection of the True Guru's Sanctuary.

ਹਿਰਦੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਸਦ ਲਾਗਾ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੇ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਤਰਣਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

hiradai har naam meetthaa sad laagaa gurasabade bhavajal taranaa |1| rahaau |

Those people, to whose hearts the Lord's Name seems sweet, are carried across the terrifying world-ocean by the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||

ਭੇਖ ਕਰੈ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਚਿਤੁ ਡੋਲੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ॥

bhekh karai bahut chit ddolai antar kaam krodh ahankaar |

The mortal wears various religious robes, but his consciousness is unsteady; deep within, he is filled with sexual desire, anger and egotism.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਤਿਸਾ ਭੂਖ ਅਤਿ ਬਹੁਤੀ ਭਉਕਤ ਫਿਰੈ ਦਰ ਬਾਰੁ ॥੨॥

antar tisaa bhookh at bahutee bhaukat firai dar baar |2|

Deep within is the great thirst and immense hunger; he wanders from door to door. ||2||

ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਰਹਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੀਵਹਿ ਤਿਨ ਕਉ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਦੁਆਰਿ ॥

gur kai sabad mareh fir jeeveh tin kau mukat duaar |

Those who die in the Word of the Guru's Shabad are reborn; they find the door of liberation.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੩॥

antar saant sadaa sukh hovai har raakhiaa ur dhaar |3|

With constant peace and tranquility deep within, they enshrine the Lord within their hearts. ||3||

ਜਿਉ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਵੈ ਚਲਾਵੈ ਕਰਣਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥

jiau tis bhaavai tivai chalaavai karanaa kichhoo na jaaee |

As it pleases Him, He inspires us to act. Nothing else can be done.
