ਰਾਗੁ ਸੋਰਠਿ ਵਾਰ ਮਹਲੇ ੪ ਕੀ ॥
Vaar Of Raag Sorat'h, Fourth Mehl:
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥
Salok, First Mehl:
ਸੋਰਠਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਹਾਵਣੀ ਜੇ ਸਚਾ ਮਨਿ ਹੋਇ ॥
Sorat'h is always beautiful, if it brings the True Lord to dwell in the mind of the soul-bride.
ਦੰਦੀ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਕਤੁ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਭੈ ਸਚਾ ਸੋਇ ॥
Her teeth are clean and her mind is not split by duality; the Name of the True Lord is on her tongue.
ਸਸੁਰੈ ਪੇਈਐ ਭੈ ਵਸੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਨਿਸੰਗ ॥
Here and hereafter, she abides in the Fear of God, and serves the True Guru without hesitation.
ਪਰਹਰਿ ਕਪੜੁ ਜੇ ਪਿਰ ਮਿਲੈ ਖੁਸੀ ਰਾਵੈ ਪਿਰੁ ਸੰਗਿ ॥
Discarding worldly adornments, she meets her Husband Lord, and she celebrates joyfully with Him.
ਸਦਾ ਸੀਗਾਰੀ ਨਾਉ ਮਨਿ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਮੈਲੁ ਪਤੰਗੁ ॥
She is adorned forever with the Name in her mind, and she does not have even an iota of filth.
ਦੇਵਰ ਜੇਠ ਮੁਏ ਦੁਖਿ ਸਸੂ ਕਾ ਡਰੁ ਕਿਸੁ ॥
Her husband's younger and elder brothers, the corrupt desires, have died, suffering in pain; and now, who fears Maya, the mother-in-law?
ਜੇ ਪਿਰ ਭਾਵੈ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਕਰਮ ਮਣੀ ਸਭੁ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥
If she becomes pleasing to her Husband Lord, O Nanak, she bears the jewel of good karma upon her forehead, and everything is Truth to her. ||1||
ਮਃ ੪ ॥
Fourth Mehl:
ਸੋਰਠਿ ਤਾਮਿ ਸੁਹਾਵਣੀ ਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਢੰਢੋਲੇ ॥
Sorat'h is beautiful only when it leads the soul-bride to seek the Lord's Name.
ਗੁਰ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਮਨਾਵੈ ਆਪਣਾ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਬੋਲੇ ॥
She pleases her Guru and God; under Guru's Instruction, she speaks the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
