Malaar, Third Mehl:
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
gurmukh ko-ee virlaa boojhai jis no nadar karay-i.
Rare is that person who, as Gurmukh, understands; the Lord has bestowed His Glance of Grace.
ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਕੋਈ ਨਾਹੀ ਬਖਸੇ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
gur bin daataa ko-ee naahee bakhsay nadar karay-i.
There is no Giver except the Guru. He grants His Grace and forgives.
ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਊਪਜੈ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਲਏਇ ॥੧॥
gur mili-ai saaNt oopjai an-din naam la-ay-ay. ||1||
Meeting the Guru, peace and tranquility well up; chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, day and night. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Rare is the person who turns to the Guru and understands — the one the One looks on with grace.
There is no Giver but the Guru, who grants grace and forgives.
Meeting the Guru, peace and calm well up; so say the Naam day and night.
When understanding comes, peace wells up inside like a spring.
Understanding is rare and comes as grace, and meeting the Guru makes peace well up like a spring.
Gurmukh koee virlaa boojhai: rare is the one who turns to the Guru and understands, and it comes by nadar, the glance of grace. Gur bin daataa koee naahee: there is no Giver but the Guru. Meeting the Guru, saant, peace, wells up like a spring, and the Naam stays close day and night.
