Jithe avghat galiya bhirhiya tithe Har Har mukatt karaye – Raag Maroo – Ang 996

SGGS Angg 996.

Raag Maroo (Maru) M.4

As you keep reciting Naam, an inner yearning will arise in you. You realise Naam is Infinite, yet you only know superficially about Naam. You plead with the Satguru to further entrench the Shabads deep within you, and to give you deeper insight. As the Satgur entrenches Naam in you, that is known as “Naam dhrrihaiye.”

Follow the Teachings of the Guru, recite the Treasure of the Lord’s Name, and the Lord will bless you with honor; here and hereafter, His Name abides with you, and saves you at the end; where the Path is difficult and the Street is narrow, the Lord shall liberate you.

“Har Har Naam Nidhan hai gurmatt Har patt paaye; halatt palatt Har naal chalda Har antte leh chadaye; jithe avghat galiya bhirhiya tithe Har Har mukatt karaye.”

O my Satguru, please implant (entrench) the Lord’s Name within me; O my mother the Lord is my Mother, Father, Child and Relative, I have none other than the Lord.

“Mere Satgura mai Har Har Naam dhrihaiye; mera Maat Pita Sut Bandapo mai Har bin avar na maiye.” (rahao).

I feel the pains of love and yearning for the Lord’s Name (Attributes), if only someone would come and Unite me with Him O mother; I bow in humble devotion and implore the one who would make me meet my Beloved; the Almighty and True Guru (Shabad) Unites me with the Lord instantaneously.

“Mai Har birhi Har Naam hai koyee aan milave maaiye; tis aage mai jodrhi mera Pritam deh milaaiye; Satgur Purakh Dyaal Prabh Har melay dhill na paaiye.”

The unfortunate ones who do not remember the Lord just die off (unfulfilled); they wander in reincarnation again and again, they die and are reborn, and continue coming and going; they are tied and gagged at death’s door, and receive punishment from the Lord’s Court.

“Jin Har Har Naam na chetiyo se bhaagheen mar jaaiye; oye firh firh jonh bhavaiyeh mar jamme aave jaaiye; oye jamm dar badhe maariyeh Har Dargeh milhe sajaaiye.”

You are Lord, I have taken Your Sanctuary, O my Sovereign Master, please Unite me with Yourself; I am in the Satguru’s Sharan O Life of the world, please shower me with Your Mercy; servant Nanak says, the Lord was Merciful, and blended me with Himself.

“Tu Prabh ham sarnagatee mo ko mel leho Har Rai; Har kirpa dhaar Jagjeevna Gur Satgur ki Sarnaiye; Har Jio Aap Dyaal hoye jan Nanak Har melaiye.”
