ਬੈਰਾੜੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥
bairaarhee mehlaa 4.
Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
ਜਪਿ ਮਨ ਹਰਿ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰਾ ॥
jap man har niranjan nirankaaraa.
Meditate, O mind, on the immaculate, formless Lord.
ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਜਾ ਕਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sadaa sadaa har Dhi-aa-ee-ai sukh-daata jaa kaa ant na paaraavaaraa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Forever and ever, meditate on the Lord, the Giver of peace; He has no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep in mind the pure, formless One, O my mind.
Always turn toward that Giver of peace — endless, with no edge and no end.
Keep in mind the pure, boundless One who gives peace and never runs out.
The rahao: "Meditate, O mind, on the immaculate, formless Lord... the Giver of peace, who has no end or limitation." A simple, steadying refrain — turn toward the boundless, peace-giving One. Niranjan (immaculate, unstained) and nirankaar (formless) are among Sikhism's central names for the One. For a child: keep in mind the pure, boundless One who gives peace and never runs out.
