ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
raamkalee mehlaa 5.
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:
ਦੀਨੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਕੀਓ ਪਵਿਤੁ ॥
deeno naam kee-o pavit.
Blessing me with His Name, He has purified and sanctified me.
ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਰਾਸਿ ਨਿਰਾਸ ਇਹ ਬਿਤੁ ॥
har Dhan raas niraas ih bit.
The Lord's wealth is my capital. False hope has left me; this is my wealth.
ਕਾਟੀ ਬੰਧਿ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਲਾਏ ॥
kaatee banDh har sayvaa laa-ay.
Breaking my bonds, the Lord has linked me to His service.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਰਾਮ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਏ ॥੧॥
har har bhagat raam gun gaa-ay. ||1||
I am a devotee of the Lord, Har, Har; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One gave me the Name and made me pure.
The One's wealth is my savings; false hope has left me, and that is my wealth.
Breaking my chains, the One set me to loving service.
I am a devotee of the One, and I sing the One's praises.
Freedom from anxious wanting is its own kind of wealth.
Har dhan raas — the One's wealth is my savings, and niraas, freedom from anxious wishing, is the riches. The One gives first and cuts the knots, and then sets the heart to sayvaa, service. Grace comes before the good work.
