The Month of Aasaarh (Gurmukhi: ਆਸਾੜ) (Harh)
from SGGS page 134
ਆਸਾੜ ਤਪੰਦਾ ਤਿਸ ਲਗੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਹ ਨ ਜਿੰਨਾ ਪਾਸਿ ॥
ਜਗਜੀਵਨ ਪਰਖ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਕੈ ਮਾਣਸ ਸੰਦੀ ਆਸ ॥
ਦਯੈ ਭਾਇ ਵਿਗਚੀਝ ਗਲਿ ਪਈਸ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਫਾਸ ॥
ਜੇਹਾ ਬੀਜੈ ਸੋ ਲਣੈ ਮਥੈ ਜੋ ਲਿਖਿਆਸ ॥
ਰੈਣਿ ਵਿਹਾਣੀ ਪਛਤਾਣੀ ਉਠਿ ਚਲੀ ਗਈ ਨਿਰਾਸ ॥
ਜਿਨ ਕੌ ਸਾਧੂ ਭੇਟੀਝ ਸੋ ਦਰਗਹ ਹੋਇ ਖਲਾਸ ॥
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪਰਭ ਆਪਣੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਦਰਸਨ ਹੋਇ ਪਿਆਸ ॥
ਪਰਭ ਤਧ ਬਿਨ ਦੂਜਾ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥
ਆਸਾੜ ਸਹੰਦਾ ਤਿਸ ਲਗੈ ਜਿਸ ਮਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਨਿਵਾਸ ॥5॥
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||
