ਸੁਣਿ ਸਜਣ ਜੀ ਮੈਡੜੇ ਮੀਤਾ ਰਾਮ ॥
sun sajan jee maidrhay meetaa raam.
Listen, O my friend and companion
ਗੁਰਿ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਚੁ ਦੀਤਾ ਰਾਮ ॥
gur mantar sabad sach deetaa raam.
- the Guru has given the Mantra of the Shabad, the True Word of God.
ਸਚੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਮੰਗਲੁ ਗਾਇਆ ਚੂਕੇ ਮਨਹੁ ਅਦੇਸਾ ॥
sach sabad Dhi-aa-i-aa mangal gaa-i-aa chookay manhu adaysaa.
Meditating on this True Shabad, I sing the songs of joy, and my mind is rid of anxiety.
ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਕਤਹਿ ਨ ਜਾਇਆ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੰਗਿ ਬੈਸਾ ॥
so parabh paa-i-aa kateh na jaa-i-aa sadaa sadaa sang baisaa.
I have found God, who never leaves; forever and ever, He sits with me.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੀ ਭਾਣਾ ਸਚਾ ਮਾਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਸਹਜੇ ਦੀਤਾ ॥
parabh jee bhaanaa sachaa maanaa parabh har Dhan sehjay deetaa.
One who is pleasing to God receives true honor. The Lord God blesses him with wealth.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਤੇਰਾ ਦਾਨੁ ਸਭਨੀ ਹੈ ਲੀਤਾ ॥੨॥
kaho naanak tis jan balihaaree tayraa daan sabhnee hai leetaa. ||2||
Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to such a humble being. O Lord, You bless all with Your bountiful blessings. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen, dear friend — wisdom gave me one true, good word to hold.
Turning it over, I sing with joy and my worries lift.
I found the One that never leaves — always here, sitting with me.
There's a kind of good that never leaves you — it stays right by your side, always.
"The Guru has given the Mantra of the Shabad... I sing songs of joy, and my mind is rid of anxiety." And the tender promise: "I have found God, who never leaves; forever He sits with me." A companion that never departs — the deepest answer to a longing heart. For a child: there's a kind of good that never leaves you — it stays right by your side.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing would you most want to have stay by your side always?
