Har Dya Prabh Dharo pakhan ham tarho kadh levho Shabad Subhaye Jio – Raag Assa – Ang 446

SGGS Angg 446.

Raag Assa (Asa) M.4.

This Shantt has four padas. This is the 4th pada. It is a plea to God. Please save me in Your Mercy.

O Lord God, shower Your Mercy upon me; I am just a (dense, drowning) stone; please lift me and carry me lovingly across, through Your Shabad.

“Har Dya Prabh Dharo pakhan ham tarho kadh levho Shabad Subhaye Jio.”

I am stuck in the swamp of emotional attachment, and I am sinking. O Lord God, please take me by the arm.

“Moh chikarh fathey nigharat ham jaatey Har baha Prabhu pakrahye Jio.”

All that prayer was not in vain

God took me by the arm, and He blessed me with the highest enlightenment. As His slave, I grasped the Guru’s Feet (Bani); I now recite the Lord’s Name, and adore Him in meditation. Good destiny is written upon my forehead.

“Prabh baha pakrahee uttam matt payee Gur Charni mann lagaa; Har Har Naam japiya aradhiya mukh mastak bhaag subaaga.”

The Lord has showered His Mercy upon servant Nanak, and has made the Name of the Lord sweet to my mind; O Lord God, shower Your Mercy upon me I am just a (dense, drowning) stone. Lift me up and carry me lovingly across through Your Shabad.

“Jan Nanak Har kirpa dharee mann Har Har mitha laaye Jio; Har Dya Prabh Dharo pakham ham tarho kadh levho Shabad subhaye Jio.”
