Basant, Third Mehl:
ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਸਚੁ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਵੈ ॥
poorai bhaag sach kaar kamaavai.
By perfect destiny, one acts in truth.
ਏਕੋ ਚੇਤੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੋਨਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
ayko chaytai fir jon na aavai.
Remembering the One Lord, one does not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
ਸਫਲ ਜਨਮੁ ਇਸੁ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਆਇਆ ॥
safal janam is jag meh aa-i-aa.
Fruitful is the coming into the world, and the life of one
ਸਾਚਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
saach naam sahj samaa-i-aa. ||1||
who remains intuitively absorbed in the True Name. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By perfect good fortune, a person lives and works in truth.
Remembering the One, they do not have to go round again through birth after birth.
Their coming into this world bears fruit,
and they settle easily into the True Naam.
A life kept close to the One is a life that bears fruit.
Living in truth and remembering the One makes your life bear fruit.
Poorai bhaag means by perfect good fortune. Fir jon na aavai: such a person no longer goes round and round through birth after birth. Safal janam means a fruitful birth. Saach naam sahj samaa-i-aa: they settle easily into the True Naam, the way a seed settles into good soil.
