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||

ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਬਿਲੋਵਨਾ ਬਿਲੋਵਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥
 Churn the churn of the Lord, O my Siblings of Destiny.

ਸਹਜਿ ਬਿਲੋਵਹੁ ਜੈਸੇ ਤਤੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Churn it steadily, so that the essence, the butter, may not be lost. ||1||Pause||


The Muslim Rababis used to perform kirtan in Harmandar Sahib till the formation of the SGPC in 1925. Ghulam Mohammad Chaand (from the family of Bhai Mardana) during his recent visit to Amritsar was disheartened to know that he could not perform kirtan in the sanctum sanctorum of Harmandar Sahib like his forefathers did. His paternal uncle, Bhai Chaand, was the “Hazoori Raagi” of the Golden Temple before Partition.

Rababi Bhai Ghulam Mohammad Chand - Har Ka Bilovana Bilovoh Mere Bhai ll

Bhai Ghulam Mohammed Chand Rababi  trace their lineage to Baba Mardana, through whom Guru Nanak spoke, and to the strains of whose rabab he sang his hymns. The Baba’s descendants remained rababis to all the 10 gurus, keeping alive the rabab tradition, saving the musical instrument from extinction. His uncle Bhai Chand sang to it in Darbar Sahib in Amritsar.
