ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥

Sarag Mehala 1 ||

Saarang, First Mehl:

ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਿਉ ਰਹੀਐ ਦੁਖੁ ਬਿਆਪੈ ॥

Har Bin Kio Reheeai Dhukh Biapai ||

How can I survive without the Lord? I am suffering in pain.

ਜਿਹਵਾ ਸਾਦੁ ਨ ਫੀਕੀ ਰਸ ਬਿਨੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਾਲੁ ਸੰਤਾਪੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Jihava Sadh N Feekee Ras Bin Bin Prabh Kal Santhapai ||1|| Rehao ||

My tongue does not taste - all is bland without the Lord's sublime essence. Without God, I suffer and die. ||1||Pause||

ਜਬ ਲਗੁ ਦਰਸੁ ਨ ਪਰਸੈ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਭੂਖ ਪਿਆਸੀ ॥

Jab Lag Dharas N Parasai Preetham Thab Lag Bhookh Piasee ||

As long as I do not attain the Blessed Vision of my Beloved, I remain hungry and thirsty.

ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖਤ ਹੀ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਿਆ ਜਲ ਰਸਿ ਕਮਲ ਬਿਗਾਸੀ ॥੧॥

Dharasan Dhaekhath Hee Man Mania Jal Ras Kamal Bigasee ||1||

Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, my mind is pleased and appeased. The lotus blossoms forth in the water. ||1||

ਊਨਵਿ ਘਨਹਰੁ ਗਰਜੈ ਬਰਸੈ ਕੋਕਿਲ ਮੋਰ ਬੈਰਾਗੈ ॥

Oonav Ghanehar Garajai Barasai Kokil Mor Bairagai ||

The low-hanging clouds crack with thunder and burst. The cuckoos and the peacocks are filled with passion,

ਤਰਵਰ ਬਿਰਖ ਬਿਹੰਗ ਭੁਇਅੰਗਮ ਘਰਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਧਨ ਸੋਹਾਗੈ ॥੨॥

Tharavar Birakh Bihang Bhueiangam Ghar Pir Dhhan Sohagai ||2||

Along with the birds in the trees, the bulls and the snakes. The soul-bride is happy when her Husband Lord returns home. ||2||

ਹਰਿ ਰਸ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਸਨ ਨਹੀ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤੀ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਦੂਖ ਸਮਾਨਿਆ ॥੩॥

Har Ras Rang Rasan Nehee Thripathee Dhuramath Dhookh Samania ||3||

She is not satisfied by the sublime essence of her Lord's Love; she is evil-minded, immersed in her pain. ||3||

ਆਇ ਨ ਜਾਵੈ ਨਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਨਾ ਦੁਖ ਦਰਦੁ ਸਰੀਰੇ ॥

Ae N Javai Na Dhukh Pavai Na Dhukh Dharadh Sareerae ||

The soul-bride does not come and go in reincarnation or suffer in pain; her body is not touched by the pain of disease.

ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇ ਸਹਜ ਸੁਹੇਲੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਖਤ ਹੀ ਮਨੁ ਧੀਰੇ ॥੪॥੨॥

Naanak Prabh Thae Sehaj Suhaelee Prabh Dhaekhath Hee Man Dhheerae ||4||2||

O Nanak, she is intuitively embellished by God; seeing God, her mind is encouraged. ||4||2||
