Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਅਬ ਮੋਹਿ ਸਰਬ ਉਪਾਵ ਬਿਰਕਾਤੇ ॥
ab mohi sarab upaav birkaatay.
Now I have abandoned all efforts and devices.
ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਹਰਿ ਏਕਸੁ ਤੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਗਾਤੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
karan kaaran samrath su-aamee har aykas tay mayree gaatay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
My Lord and Master is the All-powerful Creator, the Cause of causes, my only Saving Grace. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now I have set aside all my schemes and tricks.
My Master can do all things and is the reason behind every reason. My help comes from the One alone.
Some things arrive only when you stop forcing them.
Sarab upaav birkaatay — I have set aside all the schemes and devices. The One is karan kaaran samrath, the cause behind every cause, and aykas tay, from that One alone, comes real help. This is the ease of sahaj: some things arrive only when you stop forcing them.
