Harh (the Guru calls this month "Aasaarh" (Gurmukhi: ਆਸਾੜੁ) (Harh)) is the fourth month in the Nanakshahi calendar. This month coincides with June/July of the Western/Georgian/Julian Calendar and is 31 days in length. The month begins on June 15 and ends on July 15. On July 16, begins the fifth month in the Sikh Calendar called Sawan. During this month, in Punjab, the land of the Sikh Gurus, the season is summer and the climate is hot to very hot. Most westerners leave the area as the temperatures are in the high 30 degree centigrade.

During this month, the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan, was martyred by the Mughals.

The Month of Aasaarh (Gurmukhi: ਆਸਾੜੁ) (Harh)

from SGGS page 134

ਆਸਾੜੁ ਤਪੰਦਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਲਗੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਹੁ ਨ ਜਿੰਨਾ ਪਾਸਿ ॥
ਜਗਜੀਵਨ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਕੈ ਮਾਣਸ ਸੰਦੀ ਆਸ ॥
ਦੁਯੈ ਭਾਇ ਵਿਗੁਚੀਐ ਗਲਿ ਪਈਸੁ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਫਾਸ ॥
ਜੇਹਾ ਬੀਜੈ ਸੋ ਲੁਣੈ ਮਥੈ ਜੋ ਲਿਖਿਆਸੁ ॥
ਰੈਣਿ ਵਿਹਾਣੀ ਪਛੁਤਾਣੀ ਉਠਿ ਚਲੀ ਗਈ ਨਿਰਾਸ ॥
ਜਿਨ ਕੌ ਸਾਧੂ ਭੇਟੀਐ ਸੋ ਦਰਗਹ ਹੋਇ ਖਲਾਸੁ ॥
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਆਪਣੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਦਰਸਨ ਹੋਇ ਪਿਆਸ ॥
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੁਧੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥
ਆਸਾੜੁ ਸੁਹੰਦਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਲਗੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਨਿਵਾਸ ॥੫॥


aasaarr thapa(n)dhaa this lagai har naahu n ji(n)naa paas ||
jagajeevan purakh thiaag kai maanas sa(n)dhee aas ||
dhuyai bhaae vigucheeai gal pees jam kee faas ||
jaehaa beejai so lunai mathhai jo likhiaas ||
rain vihaanee pashhuthaanee out(h) chalee gee niraas ||
jin ka saadhhoo bhaetteeai so dharageh hoe khalaas ||
kar kirapaa prabh aapanee thaerae dharasan hoe piaas ||
prabh thudhh bin dhoojaa ko nehee naanak kee aradhaas ||
aasaarr suha(n)dhaa this lagai jis man har charan nivaas ||5||

The month of Aasaarh seems burning hot, to those who are not close to their Husband Lord.
They have forsaken God the Primal Being, the Life of the World, and they have come to rely upon mere mortals.
In the love of duality, the soul-bride is ruined; around her neck she wears the noose of Death.
As you plant, so shall you harvest; your destiny is recorded on your forehead.
The life-night passes away, and in the end, one comes to regret and repent, and then depart with no hope at all.
Those who meet with the Holy Saints are liberated in the Court of the Lord.
Show Your Mercy to me, O God; I am thirsty for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.
Without You, God, there is no other at all. This is Nanak's humble prayer.
The month of Aasaarh is pleasant, when the Feet of the Lord abide in the mind. ||5||
