ਪਉੜੀ ੬

paurree 6

ਸੁਖੁ ਰਾਜੇ ਹਰੀਚੰਦ ਘਰਿ ਨਾਰਿ ਸੁ ਤਾਰਾ ਲੋਚਨ ਰਾਣੀ ।

sukh raaje hareechand ghar naar su taaraa lochan raanee |

King HariChand had a queen with beautiful eyes, Tara, who had made his home the abode of comforts.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਗਾਵਦੇ ਰਾਤੀ ਜਾਇ ਸੁਣੈ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ।

saadhasangat mil gaavade raatee jaae sunai gurabaanee |

At night she would go to the place where in the form of holy congregation, would recite the holy hymns.

ਪਿਛੈ ਰਾਜਾ ਜਾਗਿਆ ਅਧੀ ਰਾਤਿ ਨਿਖੰਡਿ ਵਿਹਾਣੀ ।

pichhai raajaa jaagiaa adhee raat nikhandd vihaanee |

After she had left, the King awoke in the middle of the night and realised she had gone.

ਰਾਣੀ ਦਿਸਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਮਨ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਰਤਿ ਗਈ ਹੈਰਾਣੀ ।

raanee dis na aavee man vich varat gee hairaanee |

He could not find the Queen anywhere and his heart filled with astonishment

ਹੋਰਤੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਉਠਿ ਕੈ ਚਲਿਆ ਪਿਛੈ ਤਰਲ ਜੁਆਣੀ ।

horat raatee utth kai chaliaa pichhai taral juaanee |

The following night he followed the young queen.

ਰਾਣੀ ਪਹੁਤੀ ਸੰਗਤੀ ਰਾਜੇ ਖੜੀ ਖੜਾਉ ਨੀਸਾਣੀ ।

raanee pahutee sangatee raaje kharree kharraau neesaanee |

The queen reached the holy congregation and the King lifted one of her sandals from there (so that he could prove the infidelity of the queen).

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਆਰਾਧਿਆ ਜੋੜੀ ਜੁੜੀ ਖੜਾਉ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ।

saadhasangat aaraadhiaa jorree jurree kharraau puraanee |

When about to go, the queen concentrated upon the holy congregation and the one sandal became a pair.

ਰਾਜੇ ਡਿਠਾ ਚਲਿਤੁ ਇਹੁ ਏਹ ਖੜਾਵ ਹੈ ਚੋਜ ਵਿਡਾਣੀ ।

raaje dditthaa chalit ihu eeh kharraav hai choj viddaanee |

The king upheld this feat and realized that there her matching sandal was a miracle.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਵਿਟਹੁ ਕੁਰਬਾਣੀ ।੬।

saadhasangat vittahu kurabaanee |6|

I am sacrifice unto the holy congregation.
