ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
रागु सूही बाणी सेख फरीद जी की ॥
Raag Soohee, The Word Of Shaykh Fareed Jee:
तपि तपि लुहि लुहि हाथ मरोरउ ॥
Burning and burning, writhing in pain, I wring my hands.
बावलि होई सो सहु लोरउ ॥
I have gone insane, seeking my Husband Lord.
तै सहि मन महि कीआ रोसु ॥
O my Husband Lord, You are angry with me in Your Mind.
मुझु अवगन सह नाही दोसु ॥१॥
The fault is with me, and not with my Husband Lord. ||1||
तै साहिब की मै सार न जानी ॥
O my Lord and Master, I do not know Your excellence and worth.
जोबनु खोइ पाछै पछुतानी ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Having wasted my youth, now I come to regret and repent. ||1||Pause||
काली कोइल तू कित गुन काली ॥
O black bird, what qualities have made you black?
अपने प्रीतम के हउ बिरहै जाली ॥
"I have been burnt by separation from my Beloved."
पिरहि बिहून कतहि सुखु पाए ॥
Without her Husband Lord, how can the soul-bride ever find peace?
जा होइ क्रिपालु ता प्रभू मिलाए ॥२॥
When He becomes merciful, then God unites us with Himself. ||2||
विधण खूही मुंध इकेली ॥
The lonely soul-bride suffers in the pit of the world.
ना को साथी ना को बेली ॥
She has no companions, and no friends.
करि किरपा प्रभि साधसंगि मेली ॥
In His Mercy, God has united me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
जा फिरि देखा ता मेरा अलहु बेली ॥३॥
And when I look again, then I find God as my Helper. ||3||
वाट हमारी खरी उडीणी ॥
The path upon which I must walk is very depressing.
खंनिअहु तिखी बहुतु पिईणी ॥
It is sharper than a two-edged sword, and very narrow.
उसु ऊपरि है मारगु मेरा ॥
That is where my path lies.
सेख फरीदा पंथु सम्हारि सवेरा ॥४॥१॥
O Shaykh Fareed, think of that path early on. ||4||1||

Taking out my eyes, I place them at Your Feet; after travelling over the entire earth, I have come to understand this. ||7||
जे पासि बहालहि ता तुझहि अराधी जे मारि कढहि भी धिआई ॥८॥
If You seat me near You, then I worship and adore You. Even if You beat me and drive me out, I will still meditate on You. ||8||

Just as the mortal dies without water, so does the Sikh die without the Guru. ||15||

Just as the earth looks beautiful when the rain falls, so does the Sikh blossom forth meeting the Guru. ||16||

You Yourself are the Guru, and You Yourself are the chaylaa, the disciple; through the Guru, I meditate on You. ||19||

Even if the Guru rebukes me, He still seems very sweet to me. And if He actually forgives me, that is the Guru's greatness. ||25||
गुरमुखि बोलहि सो थाइ पाए मनमुखि किछु थाइ न पाई ॥२६॥
That which Gurmukh speaks is certified and approved. Whatever the self-willed manmukh says is not accepted. ||26||
