Ik Oankar Sathigur Prasadh ||

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

ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਪਾਹਿਆ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਲੀਤੜਾ ਲਬਿ ਰੰਗਾਏ ॥

Eihu Than Maeia Pahia Piarae Leetharra Lab Rangaeae ||

This body fabric is conditioned by Maya, O beloved; this cloth is dyed in greed.

ਮੇਰੈ ਕੰਤ ਨ ਭਾਵੈ ਚੋਲੜਾ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਕਿਉ ਧਨ ਸੇਜੈ ਜਾਏ ॥੧॥

Maerai Kanth N Bhavai Cholarra Piarae Kio Dhhan Saejai Jaeae ||1||

My Husband Lord is not pleased by these clothes, O Beloved; how can the soul-bride go to His bed? ||1||

ਹੰਉ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੈ ਜਾਉ ਮਿਹਰਵਾਨਾ ਹੰਉ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੈ ਜਾਉ ॥

Hano Kurabanai Jao Miharavana Hano Kurabanai Jao ||

I am a sacrifice, O Dear Merciful Lord; I am a sacrifice to You.

ਹੰਉ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੈ ਜਾਉ ਤਿਨਾ ਕੈ ਲੈਨਿ ਜੋ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਉ ॥

Hano Kurabanai Jao Thina Kai Lain Jo Thaera Nao ||

I am a sacrifice to those who take to Your Name.

ਲੈਨਿ ਜੋ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਉ ਤਿਨਾ ਕੈ ਹੰਉ ਸਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੈ ਜਾਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Lain Jo Thaera Nao Thina Kai Hano Sadh Kurabanai Jao ||1|| Rehao ||

Unto those who take to Your Name, I am forever a sacrifice. ||1||Pause||

ਕਾਇਆ ਰੰਙਣਿ ਜੇ ਥੀਐ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾਉ ਮਜੀਠ ॥

Kaeia Rann(g)an Jae Thheeai Piarae Paeeai Nao Majeeth ||

If the body becomes the dyer's vat, O Beloved, and the Name is placed within it as the dye,

ਰੰਙਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਜੇ ਰੰਙੈ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਐਸਾ ਰੰਗੁ ਨ ਡੀਠ ॥੨॥

Rann(g)an Vala Jae Rann(g)ai Sahib Aisa Rang N Ddeeth ||2||

And if the Dyer who dyes this cloth is the Lord Master - O, such a color has never been seen before! ||2||

ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਚੋਲੇ ਰਤੜੇ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਕੰਤੁ ਤਿਨਾ ਕੈ ਪਾਸਿ ॥

Jin Kae Cholae Ratharrae Piarae Kanth Thina Kai Pas ||

Those whose shawls are so dyed, O Beloved, their Husband Lord is always with them.

ਧੂੜਿ ਤਿਨਾ ਕੀ ਜੇ ਮਿਲੈ ਜੀ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥੩॥

Dhhoorr Thina Kee Jae Milai Jee Kahu Naanak Kee Aradhas ||3||

Bless me with the dust of those humble beings, O Dear Lord. Says Nanak, this is my prayer. ||3||

ਆਪੇ ਸਾਜੇ ਆਪੇ ਰੰਗੇ ਆਪੇ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥

Apae Sajae Apae Rangae Apae Nadhar Karaee ||

He Himself creates, and He Himself imbues us. He Himself bestows His Glance of Grace.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਾਮਣਿ ਕੰਤੈ ਭਾਵੈ ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਰਾਵੇਇ ॥੪॥੧॥੩॥

Naanak Kaman Kanthai Bhavai Apae Hee Ravaee ||4||1||3||

O Nanak, if the soul-bride becomes pleasing to her Husband Lord, He Himself enjoys her. ||4||1||3||
