Beet jehe beet jehe janam akaaj re – Raag Jaijavantee – Ang 1352

SGGS Angg 1352

Raag Jaijavantee (Jaijawanti) M.9

Guru Ji advises man that his life is ebbing away. It is a wasted life if you do not take to Naam.

Slipping away, your life is uselessly ebbing away; you listen to Scriptures night and day, but no understanding has dawned upon you, ignorant man; death has arrived – now where will you run?

“Beet jehe beet jehe janam akaaj re; nis din sun ke Puran samjat neh re ajaan; kaal tauu pahunchiyo aan kaha jehe bhaaj re.” (rahao).

The body you believed to be permanent, shall turn to dust; why do you not chant the name of the Lord, you shameless fool?

“Asthirr jo maaneyo deh so to tero hoye hai kheh; kyo na Har ko Naam leh murakh nilaaj re.”

Let devotional worship enter your heart, and abandon all pride from your mind; servant Nanak says, such is the way you should live in this world.

“Raam bhagat hiyeh aan chadh deh teh mann ko maan; Nanak jann eh bakhaan jag me biraaj re.”
