ਰਾਤੀ ਰੁਤੀ ਥਿਤੀ ਵਾਰ ॥
raatee rutee thitee vaar
ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਅਗਨੀ ਪਾਤਾਲ ॥
pavan paanee agneee paataal
तिसु विचि धरती थापि रखी धरम साल ॥
tis vich dhartee thaap rakhee dharam saal
Nights.. days… weeks… seasons … winds… Water and fire… all earthly regions…
ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੀਅ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕੇ ਰੰਗ ॥
tis vich jee-a jugat kay rang
ਤਿਨ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਅਨੇਕ ਅਨੰਤ ॥
tin kay naam anayk anant
Here live souls of countless colors and names,
ਕਰਮੀ ਕਰਮੀ ਹੋਇ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
karmee karmee ho-ay veechaar
ਸਚਾ ਆਪਿ ਸਚਾ ਦਰਬਾਰੁ ॥
sachaa aap sachaa darbaar
For this planet earth is the Realm of Dharma And here is where we reflect on our Karma. True is He, and True is His Court.
ਤਿਥੈ ਸੋਹਨਿ ਪੰਚ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥
tithai sohan panch parvaan
ਨਦਰੀ ਕਰਮਿ ਪਵੈ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥
nandree karam pavai neesaan
There all are beautiful -- perfect equals. Grace covers their Karmas. They see the sign.
ਕਚ ਪਕਾਈ ਓਥੈ ਪਾਇ ॥
kach pakaa-ee othai paa-ay
ਨਾਨਕ ਗਇਆ ਜਾਪੈ ਜਾਇ ॥੩੪॥
naaanak ga-i-aa jaapai jaa-ay
Even those whose fruits aren't yet ripe can see it. O nanak! When you go Home you shall see it.
