Ang 373
ਦੂਖ ਰੋਗ ਭਏ ਗਤੁ ਤਨ ਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ॥
By singing the praises of God my mind has become pure and all my sorrows and ailments have left my body.
ਭਏ ਅਨੰਦ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਸੰਗਿ ਅਬ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਕਤ ਹੀ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥
Upon meeting the Guru a sense of bliss has prevailed in me and now my mind doesn’t wander anywhere.
ਤਪਤਿ ਬੁਝੀ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਮਾਇ ॥
O’ my mother, through the Guru’s Word the fire of worldly desires and vices has been quenched.
ਬਿਨਸਿ ਗਇਓ ਤਾਪ ਸਭ ਸਹਸਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਸੀਤਲੁ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Intuitively I have met such a soothing and peace giving Guru that all my anguish and dread has disappeared. ||1|| Pause||
ਧਾਵਤ ਰਹੇ ਏਕੁ ਇਕੁ ਬੂਝਿਆ ਆਇ ਬਸੇ ਅਬ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਥਾਇ ॥
Since the time I have realized the one and only God, all my wanderings have ended and now I dwell in the state of equipoise.

O’ God, beholding the blessed vision of Your saints, the savior of the world from the vices, my worldly desires have ended and I remain satisfied.

O’ my mother, now with stable mind I have come to the Guru’s refuge; the sins of my many lives have become a thing of the past.
ਸਹਜ ਧੁਨਿ ਗਾਵੈ ਮੰਗਲ ਮਨੂਆ
Intuitively my mind keeps signing the celestial praises of God, because it is confident that now it will not be consumed by the fear of spiritual death.
ਅਬ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਫੁਨਿ ਕਾਲੁ ਨ ਖਾਇ ॥੩॥
and death shall no longer consume it. ||3||
ਕਰਨ ਕਾਰਨ ਸਮਰਥ ਹਮਾਰੇ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਇ ॥
O’ my sovereign God, the giver of peace, all powerful and the Cause of causes, Nanak is spiritually alive by meditating on Your Name. You are my continuous support. ||4

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
Raag Aasaa, Fifth Guru:
ਅਰੜਾਵੈ ਬਿਲਲਾਵੈ ਨਿੰਦਕੁ ॥
The slanderer of saintly persons cries out in pain and bewails.
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਬਿਸਰਿਆ ਅਪਣਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਪਾਵੈ ਨਿੰਦਕੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
The slanderer has forgotten the Supreme God and suffers the consequences of his own bad deeds. ||1|| Pause||
ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਉਸ ਕਾ ਸੰਗੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਨਾਲੇ ਲਏ ਸਿਧਾਵੈ ॥
If anyone associates with him, then he also gets in the habit of slandering.
ਅਣਹੋਦਾ ਅਜਗਰੁ ਭਾਰੁ ਉਠਾਏ ਨਿੰਦਕੁ ਅਗਨੀ ਮਾਹਿ ਜਲਾਵੈ ॥੧॥
The slanderer carries such a heavy load of sins as if carrying an imaginary dragon and keeps suffering as if burning in the fire of slandering others.
ਪਰਮੇਸਰ ਕੈ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਜਿ ਹੋਇ ਬਿਤੀਤੈ ਸੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਆਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ॥
What happens to a slanderer in God’s court, that is what Nanak is telling and describing.
ਭਗਤ ਜਨਾ ਕਉ ਸਦਾ ਅਨੰਦੁ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗਾਇ ਬਿਗਸਾਵੈ ॥੨॥੧੦॥
The humble devotees of God are forever in bliss; singing God's Praises, they always remain delighted. ||2
ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
Raag Aasaa, Fifth Guru:
ਜਉ ਮੈ ਕੀਓ ਸਗਲ ਸੀਗਾਰਾ ॥
(On behalf of that separated soul-bride, Guru Ji says): O’ my mother, Even when I decorated myself in every way, still, my mind was not satisfied.
ਤਉ ਭੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਨ ਪਤੀਆਰਾ ॥
I applied innumerable types of perfumes to my body, still, I did not obtain even a tiny bit of that peace (which is obtained in union with husband-God).
ਅਨਿਕ ਸੁਗੰਧਤ ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਲਾਵਉ ॥
I applied innumerable types of perfumes to my body, still, I did not obtain even a tiny bit of that peace (which is obtained in union with husband-God).
ਓਹੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਤਿਲੁ ਸਮਾਨਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਵਉ ॥
and yet, I did not obtain even a tiny bit of pleasure from this.
ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਚਿਤਵਉ ਐਸੀ ਆਸਾਈ ॥
Within my mind, I hold such a longing, that I may remain spiritually alive by seeing my Beloved-God, O my mother.
ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਦੇਖਤ ਜੀਵਉ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਈ ॥੧॥
that I may live only to behold my Beloved, O my mother. ||1||
ਮਾਈ ਕਹਾ ਕਰਉ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਨ ਧੀਰੈ ॥
O mother, what should I do? This mind doesn’t rest in peace.
ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਬੈਰਾਗੁ ਹਿਰੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
The longing for the beloved has captivated it very much. ||1|| Pause||
ਬਸਤ੍ਰ ਬਿਭੂਖਨ ਸੁਖ ਬਹੁਤ ਬਿਸੇਖੈ ॥
Husband-God, garments, jewelry, and the exquisite pleasures are of no avail.
ਓਇ ਭੀ ਜਾਨਉ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਲੇਖੈ ॥
Even if I may enjoy, honor, fame, dignity and greatness, and the entire world may become obedient to me, and live in a beautiful household as expensive as a jewel. even then, I could only remain happy forever If I am pleasing to Husband- God.
ਪਤਿ ਸੋਭਾ ਅਰੁ ਮਾਨੁ ਮਹਤੁ ॥
Even if I may enjoy, honor, fame, dignity and greatness, and the entire world may become obedient to me, and live in a beautiful household as expensive as a jewel.
ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਗਤੁ ॥
obedience by the whole world,
ਗ੍ਰਿਹੁ ਐਸਾ ਹੈ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਲਾਲ ॥
and a household as beautiful as a jewel.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵਾ ਤਾ ਸਦਾ ਨਿਹਾਲ ॥੨॥
even then, I could only remain happy forever If I am pleasing to Husband- God.
ਬਿੰਜਨ ਭੋਜਨ ਅਨਿਕ ਪਰਕਾਰ ॥
Even if I may be able to enjoy many kinds foods and delicacies, and all kind of pleasures and entertainments, over vast territories, still the mind doesn’t get satiated and its craving does not end.
ਰੰਗ ਤਮਾਸੇ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਬਿਸਥਾਰ ॥
and such abundant pleasures and entertainments,
ਰਾਜ ਮਿਲਖ ਅਰੁ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਸਿ ॥
power and property and absolute command
ਮਨੁ ਨਹੀ ਧ੍ਰਾਪੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਨ ਜਾਇਸਿ ॥
with these, the mind is not satisfied, and its thirst is not quenched.
ਬਿਨੁ ਮਿਲਬੇ ਇਹੁ ਦਿਨੁ ਨ ਬਿਹਾਵੈ ॥
Without meeting the Husband-God, this day of mine does not pass in peace.
ਮਿਲੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਤਾ ਸਭ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੩॥
unites with God.
ਖੋਜਤ ਖੋਜਤ ਸੁਨੀ ਇਹ ਸੋਇ ॥
After a long and arduous search, I have heard this news, that without the Holy congregation, no one has ever crossed over the world ocean of vices.
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਤਰਿਓ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
The person who is preordained meets the true Guru.
ਜਿਸੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ਤਿਨਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
The person who is preordained meets the true Guru.
ਪੂਰੀ ਆਸਾ ਮਨੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਇਆ ॥
His hopes are fulfilled and his mind becomes satisfied.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਤਾ ਚੂਕੀ ਡੰਝਾ ॥
When one realizes God, then the fire of his worldly desires gets quenched.
ਨਾਨਕ ਲਧਾ ਮਨ ਤਨ ਮੰਝਾ ॥੪॥੧੧॥
O’ Nanak, that person has realized God within his heart. ||4
ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਪੰਚਪਦੇ ॥
