ਵਿਣੁ ਵਜਾਈ ਕਿੰਗੁਰੀ ਵਾਜੈ ਜੋਗੀ ਸਾ ਕਿੰਗੁਰੀ ਵਜਾਇ ॥
vin vajaa-ee kinguree vaajai jogee saa kinguree vajaa-ay.
So play the harp which vibrates without being played, Yogi.
ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਜੋਗੀ ਸਾਚੇ ਰਹਹਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧੨॥੧॥੧੦॥
kahai naanak mukat hoveh jogee saachay raheh samaa-ay. ||12||1||10||
Says Nanak, thus you shall be liberated, Yogi, and remain merged in the True Lord. ||12||1||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So play the harp that sounds without being played, Yogi.
Nanak says: this is how you become free, Yogi, and stay merged in the True One.
Freedom is resting in the music that plays itself.
Play the music no hand plays, and you are free, merged in the True One.
Vin vajaa-ee kinguree vaajai — the harp that vibrates without being played, the anhad of the rahaa-o once more. Mukat (liberation) is to remain saachay samaa-ay, merged in the True. Nanak signs the ashtapadee here.
