ਮਃ ੨ ॥
mehlaa 2.
Second Mehl:
ਪਹਿਲ ਬਸੰਤੈ ਆਗਮਨਿ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
pahil basantai aagman tis kaa karahu beechaar.
He blossoms forth even earlier than the spring; reflect upon Him.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋ ਸਾਲਾਹੀਐ ਜਿ ਸਭਸੈ ਦੇ ਆਧਾਰੁ ॥੨॥
naanak so salaahee-ai je sabhsai day aaDhaar. ||2||
O Nanak, praise the One who gives Support to all. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Before even the earliest sign of spring, the One is already there, blossoming. That is worth pausing over and really taking in.
So praise the One — the One who quietly holds up and supports every single living thing, all the time.
The One quietly supports every living thing — that's worth praising.
A Second Mehl shalok, companion to the previous one: karahu beechaar = reflect on the One who blossoms first. je sabhsai day aadhaar = who gives support (aadhaar) to all, the sustaining ground of everything.
