Sakhiyo sahelrihyo mera Pir Vanjara Ram – Raag Assa – Ang 436

SGGS Angg 436.

Raag Assa (Asa) M.1.

This Shantt by Guru Nanak Dev Ji has 4 padas. This is the 3rd pada.

In this 3rd pada an inner realisation about God has been given to the jeev isteri by the Satguru. She bursts forward with joy and shares her enlightenment with her satsangans.

She exclaims. Listen my friends and companions, my Husband Lord is the True Merchant.

“Sakhiyo sahelrihyo mera Pir Vanjara Ram”

I have purchased the Lord’s Name; It’s sweetness and value are unlimited.

“Har Namo vananjerhiya rass mohl apaara Ram”

He is Priceless; the Beloved dwells in His True Home; if one is pleasing to Him, He blesses His bride.

“Mohl amolo Sach Ghar Dholo Prabh bhave ta mundh bhali”

Some enjoy sweet pleasures with the Lord while I stand crying at His Door. (although blessed with some enlightenment, she has not had Darshan yet).

“Eik sang Har ke kare raliyan hao pukari Dar khalli”

The Creator, the Cause of causes, the All Powerful Lord Himself arranges all our affairs.

“Karan Kaaran Samrath Sridhar Aap kaaraj sarey”

Nanak says blessed is the soul bride upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace; such a one enshrines the Shabad in her heart.

“Nanak nadri dhan suhagan Shabad ab sadarey”
