ਸੰਡਾ ਮਰਕਾ ਜਾਇ ਪੁਕਾਰੇ ॥

Sandda Maraka Jae Pukarae ||

Sanda and Marka went and complained to Harnaakhash,

ਪੜੈ ਨਹੀ ਹਮ ਹੀ ਪਚਿ ਹਾਰੇ ॥

Parrai Nehee Ham Hee Pach Harae ||

"Your son does not read his lessons. We are tired of trying to teach him.

ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹੈ ਕਰ ਤਾਲ ਬਜਾਵੈ ਚਟੀਆ ਸਭੈ ਬਿਗਾਰੇ ॥੧॥

Ram Kehai Kar Thal Bajavai Chatteea Sabhai Bigarae ||1||

He chants the Lord's Name, clapping his hands to keep the beat; he has spoiled all the other students. ||1||

ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਾ ਜਪਿਬੋ ਕਰੈ ॥

Ram Nama Japibo Karai ||

He chants the Lord's Name,

ਹਿਰਦੈ ਹਰਿ ਜੀ ਕੋ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਧਰੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Hiradhai Har Jee Ko Simaran Dhharai ||1|| Rehao ||

And he has enshrined meditative remembrance of the Lord within his heart.""||1||Pause||

ਬਸੁਧਾ ਬਸਿ ਕੀਨੀ ਸਭ ਰਾਜੇ ਬਿਨਤੀ ਕਰੈ ਪਟਰਾਨੀ ॥

Basudhha Bas Keenee Sabh Rajae Binathee Karai Pattaranee ||

"Your father the king has conquered the whole world", said his mother the queen.

ਪੂਤੁ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦੁ ਕਹਿਆ ਨਹੀ ਮਾਨੈ ਤਿਨਿ ਤਉ ਅਉਰੈ ਠਾਨੀ ॥੨॥

Pooth Prehiladh Kehia Nehee Manai Thin Tho Aourai Thanee ||2||

"O Prahlad my son, you do not obey him, so he has decided to deal with you in another way."||2||

ਦੁਸਟ ਸਭਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਮੰਤਰ ਉਪਾਇਆ ਕਰਸਹ ਅਉਧ ਘਨੇਰੀ ॥

Dhusatt Sabha Mil Manthar Oupaeia Karaseh Aoudhh Ghanaeree ||

The council of villians met and resolved to send Prahlaad into the life hereafter.

ਗਿਰਿ ਤਰ ਜਲੁ ਜੁਆਲਾ ਭੈ ਰਾਖਿਓ ਰਾਜਾ ਰਾਮਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਫੇਰੀ ॥੩॥

Gir Thar Jal Juala Bhai Rakhiou Raja Ram Maeia Faeree ||3||

Prahlaad was thrown off a mountain, into the water, and into a fire, but the Sovereign Lord God saved him, by changing the laws of nature. ||3||

ਕਾਢਿ ਖੜਗੁ ਕਾਲੁ ਭੈ ਕੋਪਿਓ ਮੋਹਿ ਬਤਾਉ ਜੁ ਤੁਹਿ ਰਾਖੈ ॥

Kadt Kharrag Kal Bhai Kopiou Mohi Bathao J Thuhi Rakhai ||

Harnaakhash thundered with rage and threatened to kill Prahlaad. ""Tell me, who can save you?""

ਪੀਤ ਪੀਤਾਂਬਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਧਣੀ ਥੰਭ ਮਾਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਾਖੈ ॥੪॥

Peeth Peethanbar Thribhavan Dhhanee Thhanbh Mahi Har Bhakhai ||4||

Prahlaad answered, ""The Lord, the Master of the three worlds, is contained even in this pillar to which I am tied.""||4||

ਹਰਨਾਖਸੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਨਖਹ ਬਿਦਾਰਿਓ ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਕੀਏ ਸਨਾਥਾ ॥

Haranakhas Jin Nakheh Bidhariou Sur Nar Keeeae Sanathha ||

The Lord who tore Harnaakhash apart with His nails proclaimed Himself the Lord of gods and men.

ਕਹਿ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਹਮ ਨਰਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਵਹ ਰਾਮੁ ਅਭੈ ਪਦ ਦਾਤਾ ॥੫॥੩॥੯॥

Kehi Namadhaeo Ham Narehar Dhhiaveh Ram Abhai Padh Dhatha ||5||3||9||

Says Naam Dayv, I meditate on the Lord, the Man-lion, the Giver of fearless dignity. ||5||3||9||
