Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:
ਸੁਲਹੀ ਤੇ ਨਾਰਾਇਣ ਰਾਖੁ ॥
sulhee tay naaraa-in raakh.
The Lord saved me from Sulhi Khan.
ਸੁਲਹੀ ਕਾ ਹਾਥੁ ਕਹੀ ਨ ਪਹੁਚੈ ਸੁਲਹੀ ਹੋਇ ਮੂਆ ਨਾਪਾਕੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sulhee kaa haath kahee na pahuchai sulhee ho-ay moo-aa naapaak. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The emperor did not succeed in his plot, and he died in disgrace. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One kept me safe from Sulhi.
Sulhi's hand could not reach me anywhere, and his plotting ended in shame.
Harm aimed at the innocent has a way of collapsing before it lands.
The One shields the innocent from harm. A hostile figure, named Sulhi in the tradition, plotted against Guru Arjan and the Guru's people, and the plot collapsed. sulhee kaa haath kahee na pahuchai — the harmful reach never arrived. Ill-will came undone, and the answer is thanks.
