ਗਿਰਹੀ ਮਹਿ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਗਿਆਨ ਤਤ ਬੀਚਾਰੀ ॥ ਸਤਿਗਰ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਦਾ ਸਖ ਪਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਉਰ ਧਾਰੀ ॥੨॥ |
Girhī meh saḝĝ har jan uḝĝsī giĝn ṯaṯ bīcẖĝrī. Saṯgur sėv saḝĝ sukẖ pĝiĝ har rĝkẖiĝ ur ḝẖĝrī. (2) |
Immersed in family life, the Lord's humble servant ever remains detached; he reflects upon the essence of spiritual wisdom. Serving the True Guru, he finds eternal peace, and he keeps the Lord enshrined in his heart. (2) |
