Har gunn parhiye Har gunn gunniye – Raag Majh – Ang 95

 SGGS Angg 95.

Raag Majh M.5

A jeev isteri is in bairaag. She is drenched with love for God and prays to be ferried across the world ocean. The Shabad is written in the form of a conversation between two jeev isteris.

Let us recite the Glories of the Lord, and practice His Virtues; let us listen daily to the Sermon of the Lord’s Name (Attributes); let us meet in satsanggat and sing the Lord’s Praises, and be ferried across the treacherous and terrifying world ocean.

“Har gunn parhiye Har gunn gunniye; Har Har Naam katha nit suniye; mil satsanggat Har gunn gaaye jag bhaujal duttar tariye jio.”

Come friend let us go to meet the Lord; I wish to send messages to my Beloved; he alone is my friend, relative, beloved and brother of mine who tells me about the Lord of all mortals.

“Aao sakhi Har mel kareha; mere Pritam ka mai de saneha; mera mittar sakha so pritam bhai mai dasse Har narhariye jio.”

My pain (of separation) is known to the Perfect Guru and God; I cannot survive without chanting His Name; the Perfect Guru gave me the medicine of the Lord’s Name, it is through the Name that one can be saved.

“Meri bedhan Har Gur Pura jaane; hao reh na saka bin Naam vakhaane; mai aukhad mantar dijjay Gur Puray mai Har Har Naam udheriye jio.”

I am a (thirsty) poor chatrik in the Sanctuary of the True Guru; He (the Guru) places the blessed Water of the Lord’s Name into my mouth; servant Nanak says, the Lord is the Treasure of Water, I am a mere fish of the Waters, and I would die without such (Divine) Water.

“Ham chatrik deen Satgur Sarnayee; Har Har Naam boondh mukh payee; Har Jalnidh ham jal ke meene jan Nanak jal bin mariye jio.”
