SHABADS T to Z

(1) Tayra Sudrra Suneejaiy Bhaayee

ਸੂਹੀ ਮ:1॥ ਜੋਗੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੋਗਵੈ ਭੋਗੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਖਾਇ॥ ਤਪੀਆ ਹੋਵੈ ਤਪੁ ਕਰੇ ਤੀਰਥਿ ਮਲਿ ਮਲਿ ਨਾਇ॥ਤੇਰਾ ਸਦੜਾ ਸੁਣੀਜੈ ਭਾਈ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਬਹੈ ਅਲਾਇ॥ ਰਹਾਉ॥ ਜੈਸਾ ਬੀਜੈ ਸੋ ਲੁਣੈ ਜੋ ਖਟੈ ਸੋੁ ਖਾਇ॥ ਅਗੈ ਪੁਛ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸਣੁ ਨੀਸਾਣੈ ਜਾਇ॥ਤੈਸੋ ਜੈਸਾ ਕਾਂਢੀਐ ਜੈਸੀ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਇ॥ਜੋ ਦਮੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਸੋ ਦਮੁ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਾਇ॥ ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਵੇਚੀ ਬੈ ਕਰੀ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਲਏ ਵਿਕਾਇ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੰਮਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਜਿਤੁ ਤਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਉ॥

§ Suhi M:1 (730). Jogi hovaiy jogvaiy bhogi hovaiy khaaye. Tuppeeya hovaiy tup keray teeruth mul mul naaye. 1. Tera sudrra suneejaiy bhaayee jay ko bahaiy allaaye. 1. Pause.  Jaisa beejaiy so loonaiy jo khuttaiy so khaaye. Uggaiy poochh nah hovayee jay sunh nisaanay jaaye. 2. Taiso jaisa kaandheeye jaisee kaar kmaaye. Jo dum chit nah aavayee so dum birtha jaaye. 3. Eh tun vaychee bai kree jay ko luyye vikaaye. Nanak kum nah aavayee jit tun naahi sucha Naauo.

Word Meaning: Jogvaiy = behaves like a jogi (yogi); Bhogi =  a family man (enjoys the gifts of life); Tuppeeya =  who suffers hardships to please God; Teeruth = sacred places; Mul = cleans well; Sudrra =  (Divine) message; Allaaye =  narrates (delivers); Beejaiy =  sows; Loonaiy =  reaps; Khuttay =  earns; Uggaiy =  in the Court of Waheguru; Poochh =  is questioned;  Sunh = with, including; Nisaanay =  approval letter; Taiso =  similar, same; Kaandheeye = called, labelled; Kaar =  deeds; Dum = moment; Birtha = empty, useless;   Bai Kree =  sell all rights; Vikaaye =  trade, on sale;

This holy Shabad by Guru Nanak Dev Ji highlights the importance of Wahegur’s Naam in the life of a man.

Meaning: Oh my Waheguru! A jogi leads his life as such, and a family man spends his life enjoying the gifts provided by You! Similarly, a tuppeeya spends his time suffering hardships and undertakes pilgrimage to clean his body (with the belief that he will be united with You by doing such things).  But, I wish to listen to Your Divine message if someone could deliver that to me patiently.  An individual reaps the rewards of whatever he sows (good rewards for good deeds and bad for bad deeds), and a person can spend only that much which he earns. (When the judgment time comes on the death of a person, his spiritual rewards are based on his deeds).  But a person who has Your letter of approval is not questioned at the time of judgment. A person is given the same name as his deeds – good deeds, good person.  Every moment of life goes waste when you forget Waheguru’s Naam. I will gladly sell my body unconditionally if someone can trade Waheguru’s Naam with me. (Guru) Nanak says that a body is worthless if it does not harbour Waheguru’s Naam.

(2) Thakur Jeeyo Tuhaaro Perna

ਕਾਨੜਾ ਮ:5॥ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਜੀਉ ਤੁਹਾਰੋ ਪਰਨਾ॥ ਮਾਨੁ ਮਹਤੁ ਤੁਮਾਰੈ ਊਪਰਿ ਤੁਮ੍ਹਰੀ ਓਟ ਤੁਮ੍ਹਾਰੀ ਸਰਨਾ॥ਰਹਾਉ॥ ਤੁਮ੍ਹਰੀ ਆਸ ਭਰੋਸਾ ਤੁਮ੍ਹਰਾ ਤੁਮਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਲੈ ਧਰਨਾ॥ ਤੁਮਰੋ ਬਲੁ ਤੁਮ ਸੰਗਿ ਸੁਹੇਲੇ ਜੋ ਜੋ ਕਹਹੁ ਸੋਈ ਸੋਈ ਕਰਨਾ॥ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਦਇਆ ਮਇਆ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਉ ਹੋਹੁ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ਤ ਭਉਜਲੁ ਤਰਨਾ॥ ਅਭੈ ਦਾਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਇਓ ਸਿਰੁ ਡਾਰਿਓ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਤ ਚਰਨਾ॥

§ Kaanarra M:5 (1299). Thakur jeeo tuhaaro perna. Maan mehut tumhaaray ooper toomhree oat tumhaaree sherna. 1. Pause. Toomhree aas bhroasaa toomhraa toomra naam ridaiy laiy dherna.

I have made my heart the residence of Your Naam.  You are my strength, and Your company is the source of al comforts. I have to follow Your commandments. My comforts are because of Your kindness and compassion, and I can break the bonds of Maya with Your blessing.  I have thrown my head at the feet of the holy men and with their support I have been able to get the donation of Your Naam which leads to the state of fearlessness (in the world).

(3) Thakur Toomh Shernayee Aaya

You came to know my mental situation without being told, and have made me recite Your Naam.  By singing Your praise, all my discomforts have vanished, and I am in a state of peace and bliss where I feel all the comforts.  You, kindly adopted me, and cut my worldly bonds. You held my hand to pull me out of the blind (bottomless) well of Maya.  (Guru) Nanak says that the Guru cut all my worldly shackles and connected me with Waheguru from whom I was disconnected.

(6) Tu  Thaakuro Bairaagro

ਸੂਹੀ ਛੰਤ ਮ:5॥ ਤੂ ਠਾਕਰੋ ਬੈਰਾਗਰੋ ਮੈ ਜੇਹੀ ਘਣ ਚੇਰੀ ਰਾਮ॥ਤੂ ਸਾਗਰੋ ਰਤਨਾਗਰੋ ਹਉ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ ਤੇਰੀ ਰਾਮ॥ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ ਤੂ ਵਡ ਦਾਣਾ ਕਰਿ ਮਿਹਰੰਮਤ ਸਾਈ॥ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕੀਜੈ ਸਾ ਮਤਿ ਦੀਜੈ ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਤੁਧੁ ਧਿਆਈ॥ ਗਰੁਬ ਨ ਕੀਜੈ ਰੇਣ ਹੋਵੀਜੈ ਤਾ ਗਤਿ ਜੀਅਰੇ ਤੇਰੀ॥ ਸਭ ਊਪਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਾ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਮੈ ਜੇਹੀ ਘਣ ਚੇਰੀ ਰਾਮ॥

§ Suhi Chhant M:5 (779). Tu thaakuro bairaagro mein jehi ghun chayree Ram.

(7)  Unter Mail Jay Teeruth  Naavaiy

ਆਸਾ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀਉ॥ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਜੇ ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਵੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਬੈਕੁੰਠ ਨ ਜਾਨਾ॥ ਲੋਕ ਪਤੀਣੇ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਹੋਵੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਰਾਮੁ ਅਯਾਨਾ॥ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਰਾਮੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੀ ਦੇਵਾ॥ ਸਾਚਾ ਨਾਵਣੁ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ॥ ਰਹਾਉ॥ ਜਲ ਕੈ ਮਜਨਿ ਜੇ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਮੇਂਡੁਕ ਨਾਵਹਿ॥ ਜੈਸੇ ਮੇਂਡੁਕ ਤੈਸੇ ਓਇ ਨਰ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੋਨੀ ਆਵਹਿ॥ ਮਨਹੁ ਕਠੋਰੁ ਮਰੈ ਬਾਨਾਰਸਿ ਨਰਕ ਨ ਬਾਚਿਆ ਜਾਈ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਸੰਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਹਾੜੰਬੈ ਤ ਸਗਲੀ ਸੈਨ ਤਰਾਈ॥ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਨ ਰੈਨਿ ਬੇਦੁ ਨਹੀ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਤਹਾ ਬਸੈ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰਾ॥ ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਨਰ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ਬਾਵਰਿਆ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ॥

§ Assa Kabir Jeeo (484). Unter mail jay teeruth naavaiy tis baikuntth nah jaana Loke pteenay kuchhoo nah hovaiy naahi Ram uyaana. 1. Poojou Ram eik hee Deva. Saacha naavun Gur ki sayva. Pause. Jul kaiy mujjan jay gut hovaiy nit nit maynduk naavhe. Jaise maynduk taise oye nur phir phir joani aavhe. 2. Munhou kathore murraiy Banaras nurk nah baachiya jaayee. Hur ka sant murraiy Harrumbay ta suglee sain traayee. 3. Dinus nah rain, Vedas nuhee Shaster tuhaan bussaiy Nirankaara. Keh Kabir nur tisay dhiyavhou baanweriya sansaara.

 

This is a lovely Shabad by Kabir Sahib in which he dispels many myths and downplays rituals.

Word Meaning: Unter = inside; Mail =  filth; Teeruth =  holy places; Baikuntth = heaven; Pteenay = by impressing; Ram =   God,  Waheguru; Uyaana =  ignorant; Poojou =  worship; Eik Hee Deva  =  only single God; Saacha Naavun = real bath; Jul =  water; Mujjan =  bathing; Gut =  salvation; Nit nit  =  all the time;   Maynduk =  frogs;   Jaise =  just like;   Taise =  the same;   Nur =  man;   Jaoni aavhe =  are reincarnated;   Manhou  = from heart;    Kathore =  hard; Banaras =  A holy city of Hindus and is called Shiva’s city. It is a strong belief among Hindus that if a person dies in Babaras, he goes to heaven, Nurk = hell; Bacchiya = avoided; Hur ka Sant =  Waheguru’s devotee. Harrumba =  A town near Gorakh Pur and is  believed to be cursed by Ganesha.  According to the belief, if a person dies in Harrumba, he is reborn as a donkey (or goes to hell); Suglee  Sain Traayee =  All the companions find salvation. Dinus =  day,light (worldly knowledge), Rain =  night (ignorance); Tuhaan = there, Bussaiy =  resides; Nirankaara =  body-less Waheguru; Tisay =  Him; Dhiyavhou =  remember, worship; Baanweriya =  unwise, ignorant;

Meaning: If someone has a filthy mind, he cannot go to heaven even if he takes dips in holy waters regularly. You simply impress people by pretending to be a holy person, but that does you no good at all because God is not ignorant. 1. There is only one God to worship; and serving the Guru is the real dip at holy places. Pause. If one can find salvation by simply taking a dip in water even if it is considered to be holy, then all the frogs should also find salvation because they stay in water all the time (but obviously they do not). So, a man filthy at heart is just like the frogs and keeps reincarnating in different life forms. (There is another myth that if a man dies in Banaras, he goes to heaven) But this is not true at all. If he stone-hearted (ruthless) man dies in Banaras, he cannot escape hell. Likewise, contrary to another popular myth that a man dying in Harrumba is reborn as a donkey, if a Waheguru’s devotee dies there, not only he finds salvation, but all his companions also find salvation. People cannot connect to God by reciting Vedas and Shastras or by worldly knowledge or absence thereof. So, Kabir (Ji) says that you only worship Him, oh ignorant people!
