ਗੁਲਿ ਹੋਲੀ ਬਬਾਗ਼ਿ ਦਹਿਰ ਬੂ ਕਰਦ
ਹੋਲੀ ਦੇ ਫੁਲਾਣ ਦੀ ਖੁਸ਼ਬੂ ਨੇ ਜ਼ਮਾਨੇ ਦੇ ਬਾਗ਼ ਨੂੰ ਮਹਿਕ ਨਾਲ ਭਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ।
The aroma of spring flowers of Holi festival makes the whole garden, the world, full of special fragrance.

ਲਬਿ ਚੂੰ ਗੁੰਚਾ ਰਾ ਫ਼ਰਖੰਦਾ ਖ਼ੂ ਕਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੧ ॥
ਬੰਦ ਕਲੀ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋਠਾਣ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਭਾਗੀ ਤਬੀਅਤ ਵਾਲਾ ਬਣਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ।
And gave the blossoming bud-like lips a pleasant disposition. (33) (1)

ਗੁਲਾਬੋ ਅੰਬਰੋ ਮਸ਼ਕੋ ਅਬੇਰੀ
ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮੀਣਹ ਦੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਵਾਣਗ ਗੁਲਾਬ, ਅੰਬਰ, ਮੁਸ਼ਕ ਤੇ ਅਬੀਰ
The Akaalpurakh spread the roses, the sky, the fragrance of musk and                

ਚੂ ਬਾਰਾਨਿ ਬਾਰਿਸ਼ਿ ਅਜ਼ ਸੂ ਬਸੂ ਕਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੨ ॥
ਨੂੰ ਸਾਰੇ ਪਾਸੀਣ ਖਲੇਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ।
sandalwood all over like the raindrops. (33) (2)

ਜ਼ਹੇ ਪਿਚਕਾਰੀਏ ਪੁਰ ਜ਼ਾਅਫ਼ਰਾਨੀ
ਕੇਸਰ ਭਰੀ ਪਿਚਕਾਰੀ ਦਾ ਕਿਆ ਕਹਿਣਾ #
How beautiful and effective is a saffron filled squirt pump?

ਕਿ ਹਰ ਬੇਰੰਗ ਰਾ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ਰੰਗੋ ਬੂ ਕਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੩ ॥
ਕਿ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਹਰ ਬਦ-ਰੰਗ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਰੰਗੀਨ ਤੇ ਸੁਗੰਧਤ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ।
That it converts even the discolored and the ugly into colorful and aromatic. (33) (3)

ਗੁਲਾਲਿ ਅਫ਼ਸ਼ਾਨੀਇ ਦਸਤਿ ਮੁਬਾਰਿਕ
ਉਸਦੇ ਮੁਬਾਰਿਕ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਦੇ ਗੁਲਾਲ ਛਿੜਕਣ ਨਾਲ
With the throwing of powdered red color by his holy hands on me

ਜ਼ਮੀਨੋ ਆਸਮਾਂ ਰਾ ਸੁਰਖ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੪ ॥
ਧਰਤੀ ਅਸਮਾਨ ਲਾਲੋ ਲਾਲ ਹੋ ਗਏ ।
It made both the earth and the heaven all crimsen colored for me. (33 ) (4)

ਦੋ ਆਲਮ ਗਸ਼ਤ ਰੰਗੀਣ ਅਜ਼ ਤੁਫ਼ੈਲਸ਼ 
ਉਸ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਲ ਦੋਵੇਣ ਦੁਨੀਆਣ ਰੰਗੀਨ ਹੋ ਗਈਆਣ,
With His grace, both the worlds began to bathe in colorful dispositions,

ਚੂ ਸ਼ਾਹਮ ਜਾਮਾ ਰੰਗੀਨ ਦਰ ਗੁਲੂ ਕਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੫ ॥
ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸ਼ਾਹਾਣ ਵਰਗੇ ਰੰਗੀਨ ਕਪੜੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਗਲ ਵਿਚ ਪਾ ਦਿੱਤੇ ।
When he put shiny clothes suitable for only rich people on my neck. (33) (5)

ਕਸੇ ਕੂ ਦੀਦ ਦੀਦਾਰਿ ਮੁਕੱਦਸ
ਜਿਸ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੇ ਵੀ ਉਸਦੇ ਪਵਿੱਤ੍ਰ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਕੀਤੇ,
Anyone who was fortunate to get a sacred glimpse of Him, the Guru,

ਮੁਰਾਦਿ ਉਮਰ ਰਾ ਹਾਸਿਲ ਨਿਕੋ ਦਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੬ ॥
ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸਮਝੋ ਉਮਰ ਦੀ ਮੁਰਾਦ ਪਾ ਲਈ ।
Take it that he, surely, was able to fulfill his lifelong desire. (33) (6)

ਸ਼ਵਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਖ਼ਾਕਿ ਰਾਹਿ ਸੰਗਤ
ਸੰਗਤ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ ਦੀ ਧੂੜ ਤੋਣ ਕੁਬਾਨ ਹੋ ਜਾਵਾਣ,
Goyaa says, "If I could sacrifice myself for the dust of the path traversed by noble souls,     

ਦਿਲਿ ਗੋਯਾ ਹਮੀਣ ਰਾ ਆਰਜ਼ੂ ਕਰਦ ॥ ੩੩ ॥ ੭ ॥
ਬਸ ਗੋਯਾ ਦੇ ਦਿਲ ਦੀ ਏਨੀ ਹੀ ਚਾਹ ਹੈ ।
This is all that I have wished and persevered all my life. My life's ambition would be fulfilled." (33) (7)

Bhai Nand Lal Ji in Vaaran

🌸🌸

Bhai Jaspal Singh Ji has Kirtan coursing through his veins as he belongs to the illustrious ‘Zakhmi’ family. His father, Bhai Gursharan Singh Ji was the younger brother of Bhai Dharam Singh Zakhmi and used to accompany him on tabla. Bhai Jaspal Singh Ji was born to Mata Jasbir Kaur Ji in Adampur, Punjab on 20th December 1952. He developed a keen interest in Kirtan and classical music from a very young age and this was observed by both his father and grandfather, Bhai Daulat Singh Ji. This led to his initiation and formal training under their guidance at the tender age of five. He was also sent to the Kirtan Vidhyala in Nangal run by renowned Prof. Darshan Singh Komal for further training. At the age of 16, he came under the wing of one of the main pillars of Gurmat Sangeet, Bhai Avtar Singh Ji, whose roots in Gurmat Sangeet date back to the time of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Bhai Jaspal Singh Ji acquired a vast repertoire of old Dhrupad compositions from Bhai Avtar Singh Ji and he is adept at performing in many difficult ‘taals’.
