ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Ik Oankar Sathigur Prasadh ||

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

ਚਾਰਿ ਪੁਕਾਰਹਿ ਨਾ ਤੂ ਮਾਨਹਿ ॥

Char Pukarehi Na Thoo Manehi ||

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

ਖਟੁ ਭੀ ਏਕਾ ਬਾਤ ਵਖਾਨਹਿ ॥

Khatt Bhee Eaeka Bath Vakhanehi ||

The six Shaastras also say one thing.

ਦਸ ਅਸਟੀ ਮਿਲਿ ਏਕੋ ਕਹਿਆ ॥

Dhas Asattee Mil Eaeko Kehia ||

The eighteen Puraanas all speak of the One God.

ਤਾ ਭੀ ਜੋਗੀ ਭੇਦੁ ਨ ਲਹਿਆ ॥੧॥

Tha Bhee Jogee Bhaedh N Lehia ||1||

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

ਕਿੰਕੁਰੀ ਅਨੂਪ ਵਾਜੈ ॥

Kinkuree Anoop Vajai ||

The celestial harp plays the incomparable melody,

ਜੋਗੀਆ ਮਤਵਾਰੋ ਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Jogeea Mathavaro Rae ||1|| Rehao ||

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

ਪ੍ਰਥਮੇ ਵਸਿਆ ਸਤ ਕਾ ਖੇੜਾ ॥

Prathhamae Vasia Sath Ka Khaerra ||

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

ਤ੍ਰਿਤੀਏ ਮਹਿ ਕਿਛੁ ਭਇਆ ਦੁਤੇੜਾ ॥

Thritheeeae Mehi Kishh Bhaeia Dhuthaerra ||

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

ਦੁਤੀਆ ਅਰਧੋ ਅਰਧਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥

Dhutheea Aradhho Aradhh Samaeia ||

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

ਏਕੁ ਰਹਿਆ ਤਾ ਏਕੁ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

Eaek Rehia Tha Eaek Dhikhaeia ||2||

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

ਏਕੈ ਸੂਤਿ ਪਰੋਏ ਮਣੀਏ ॥

Eaekai Sooth Paroeae Maneeeae ||

The beads are strung upon the one thread.

ਗਾਠੀ ਭਿਨਿ ਭਿਨਿ ਭਿਨਿ ਭਿਨਿ ਤਣੀਏ ॥

Gathee Bhin Bhin Bhin Bhin Thaneeeae ||

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

ਫਿਰਤੀ ਮਾਲਾ ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਭਾਇ ॥

Firathee Mala Bahu Bidhh Bhae ||

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

ਖਿੰਚਿਆ ਸੂਤੁ ਤ ਆਈ ਥਾਇ ॥੩॥

Khinchia Sooth Th Aee Thhae ||3||

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

ਚਹੁ ਮਹਿ ਏਕੈ ਮਟੁ ਹੈ ਕੀਆ ॥

Chahu Mehi Eaekai Matt Hai Keea ||

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

ਤਹ ਬਿਖੜੇ ਥਾਨ ਅਨਿਕ ਖਿੜਕੀਆ ॥

Theh Bikharrae Thhan Anik Khirrakeea ||

It is a treacherous place, with several windows.

ਖੋਜਤ ਖੋਜਤ ਦੁਆਰੇ ਆਇਆ ॥

Khojath Khojath Dhuarae Aeia ||

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

ਤਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋਗੀ ਮਹਲੁ ਘਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੪॥

Tha Naanak Jogee Mehal Ghar Paeia ||4||

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

ਇਉ ਕਿੰਕੁਰੀ ਆਨੂਪ ਵਾਜੈ ॥

Eio Kinkuree Anoop Vajai ||

Thus, the celestial harp plays the incomparable melody;

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

Sun Jogee Kai Man Meethee Lagai ||1|| Rehao Dhooja ||1||12||
