ਰਾਗੁ ਬਿਹਾਗੜਾ ਚਉਪਦੇ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਘਰੁ ੨ ॥
Raag Bihaagraa, Chau-Padas, Fifth Mehl, Second House:
ਦੂਤਨ ਸੰਗਰੀਆ ॥
To associate with your arch enemies,
ਭੁਇਅੰਗਨਿ ਬਸਰੀਆ ॥
is to live with poisonous snakes;
ਅਨਿਕ ਉਪਰੀਆ ॥੧॥
I have made the effort to shake them off. ||1||

ਤਉ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਰੀਆ ॥Then, I repeated the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,
ਤਉ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜਰੀਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
and I obtained celestial peace. ||1||Pause||

ਮਿਥਨ ਮੋਹਰੀਆ ॥
False is the love of,
ਅਨ ਕਉ ਮੇਰੀਆ ॥
many emotional attachments,
ਵਿਚਿ ਘੂਮਨ ਘਿਰੀਆ ॥੨॥
which suck the mortal into the whirlpool of reincarnation. ||2||

ਸਗਲ ਬਟਰੀਆ ॥
All are travelers,
ਬਿਰਖ ਇਕ ਤਰੀਆ ॥
who have gathered under the world-tree,
ਬਹੁ ਬੰਧਹਿ ਪਰੀਆ ॥੩॥
and are bound by their many bonds. ||3||
ਥਿਰੁ ਸਾਧ ਸਫਰੀਆ ॥
Eternal is the Company of the Holy,
ਜਹ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਹਰੀਆ ॥
where the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are sung.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਨਰੀਆ ॥੪॥੧॥
Nanak seeks this Sanctuary. ||4||1||

ਸੂਰਬੀਰਾ ਸਜੇ ਘੋਰ ਬਾਜੇ ਬਜੇ ਭਾਜ ਕੰਤਾ ਸੁਣੇ ਰਾਮ ਆਏ ॥
सूरबीरा सजे घोर बाजे बजे भाज कंता सुणे राम आए ॥
The warriors are decorating themselves and the horrible battle-drums are resounding, O my husband ! You may flee for your safety because Ram has arrived;

ਬਾਲਿ ਮਾਰਿਯੋ ਬਲੀ ਸਿੰਧੁ ਪਾਟਿਯੋ ਜਿਨੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਸੌ ਬੈਰਿ ਕੈਸੇ ਰਚਾਏ ॥
बालि मारियो बली सिंधु पाटियो जिनै ताहि सौ बैरि कैसे रचाए ॥
He who has killed Bali, who has splitted the sea and created the passage, why have you created enmity with him?

ਬਿਯਾਧ ਜੀਤਯੋ ਜਿਨੈ ਜੰਭ ਮਾਰਿਯੋ ਉਨੈ ਰਾਮ ਅਉਤਾਰ ਸੋਈ ਸੁਹਾਏ ॥
बियाध जीतयो जिनै ज्मभ मारियो उनै राम अउतार सोई सुहाए ॥
He, who has killed Byadh and Jambasur, it is the same power, which has manifested itself as Ram;

ਦੇ ਮਿਲੋ ਜਾਨਕੀ ਬਾਤ ਹੈ ਸਿਆਨ ਕੀ ਚਾਮ ਕੇ ਦਾਮ ਕਾਹੇ ਚਲਾਏ ॥੩੮੦॥
दे मिलो जानकी बात है सिआन की चाम के दाम काहे चलाए ॥३८०॥
Return Sita to him and see him, this is the only wise thing, do not try to introduce the coins of leather.380.
