ਜੈਜਾਵੰਤੀ ਮਹਲਾ 9 ॥ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਕਉਨ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਹੈ ਤੇਰੀ ॥ ਇਹ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਸੋ ਤਉ ਨਹੀ ਸਨਿਓ ਕਾਨਿ ॥ ਬਿਖਿਅਨ ਸਿਉ ਅਤਿ ਲਭਾਨਿ ਮਤਿ ਨਾਹਿਨ ਫੇਰੀ ॥1॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਮਾਨਸ ਕੋ ਜਨਮ ਲੀਨ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਨਹ ਨਿਮਖ ਕੀਨ ॥ ਦਾਰਾ ਸਖ ਭਇਓ ਦੀਨ ਪਗਹ ਪਰੀ ਬੇਰੀ ॥1॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨ ਕਹਿ ਪਕਾਰਿ ਸਪਨੈ ਜਿਉ ਜਗ ਪਸਾਰ ॥ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਨਹ ਕਿਉ ਮਰਾਰਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਚੇਰੀ ॥2॥3॥ | |

Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehla: O mortal, what will your condition be? In this world, you have not listened to the Lord's Name. You are totally engrossed in corruption and sin; you have not turned your mind away from them at all. ||1||Pause|| You obtained this human life, but you have not remembered the Lord in meditation, even for an instant. For the sake of pleasure, you have become subservient to your woman, and now your feet are bound. ||1|| Servant Nanak proclaims that the vast expanse of this world is just a dream. Why not meditate on the Lord? Even Maya is His slave. ||2||3|| | |

ਜੈਤਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ 9 ॥ ਮਨ ਰੇ ਸਾਚਾ ਗਹੋ ਬਿਚਾਰਾ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਮਾਨੋ ਸਗਰੋ ਇਹ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥1॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਜੋਗੀ ਖੋਜਤ ਹਾਰੇ ਪਾਇਓ ਨਾਹਿ ਤਿਹ ਪਾਰਾ ॥ ਸੋ ਸਆਮੀ ਤਮ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਪਛਾਨੋ ਰੂਪ ਰੇਖ ਤੇ ਨਿਆਰਾ ॥1॥ ਪਾਵਨ ਨਾਮ ਜਗਤ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਕਬਹੂ ਨਾਹਿ ਸੰਭਾਰਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਨਿ ਪਰਿਓ ਜਗ ਬੰਦਨ ਰਾਖਹ ਬਿਰਦ ਤਹਾਰਾ ॥2॥3॥ | |

Jaitsree, Ninth Mehla: O mind, embrace true contemplation. Without the Lord's Name, know that this whole world is false. ||1||Pause|| The Yogis are tired of searching for Him, but they have not found His limit. You must understand that the Lord and Master is near at hand, but He has no form or feature. ||1|| The Naam, the Name of the Lord is purifying in the world, and yet you never remember it. Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the One, before whom the whole world bows down; please, preserve and protect me, by Your innate nature. ||2||3|| |
