Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਜੀਵਤੁ ਰਾਮ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ॥
jeevat raam kay gun gaa-ay.
I live by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
ਕਰਹੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਬੀਠੁਲੇ ਬਿਸਰਿ ਨ ਕਬ ਹੀ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
karahu kirpaa gopaal beethulay bisar na kab hee jaa-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Please be Merciful to me, O my Loving Lord of the Universe, that I may never forget You. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I live by singing the praises of the One.
Be kind to me, loving Lord of the world, so that I never forget You.
Singing to the One is how the heart keeps breathing.
Jeevat gaa-ay means “I live by singing” — praise here is life-breath itself. Gopaal and beethulay are tender, affectionate names for the Beloved. Bisar na kab hee jaa-ay: may I never forget You. This is simran, staying connected.
