sorath mehlaa 3 ghar 1 titukee“titukee” with three lines of the shabad.

ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad Satgur Paadshah begins this shabad with, there is one Waheguru, Parmaatma, Onkaar who is found through the grace of God. And Guru Amar Das Ji says:

bhagtaa dee sadaa too rakh-daa har jee-o Dhur too rakh-daa aa-i-aa O Har jio, O my Lord Waheguru, “sada” since forever you have “rakhda” protected your “bhagtaa” beloved ones, your devotees. “dhur” From the very beginning, you are the one who has been saving them, O my Waheguru.

par-hilaad jan tuDh raakh la-ay har jee-o harnaakhas maar pachaa-i-aa. O Waheguru you are the one who saved “parhilaad jan” your servants. This story goes back to the golden age of Satyug. Satguru Paadshah is telling us that this goes back beyond the ages. Waheguru has been looking after his bhagats since time beyond we know, just as Guru Ram Das Ji says in the Aasaa Raag on Ang 451 of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. “har jug jug bhagat upaaya paij rakhda aaya raam rajay” Akaal Purakh create his devotee in each yug, in each time frame and “paij rakhda aaya” and has protected them through out the years whether that is from the very beginning, the “aad” or whether it is to this day, through out the whole of time in history. Those who have stuck to the truth have been looked after by Akaal Purakh. Just as Parhilaad was “raakh la-ay” saved from Harnakash, his own father, what did Guru Sahib do to him? “maar pachaa-i-aa” Waheguru Ji completely destroyed Harnakash. Harnakash and Parhilaad an age old story, how Harnakash became egotistical and tried to get everyone call him god and how his son stood up against him. The story is written many times in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Paadshah Ji’s vachan and their words. O Waheguru you are the one who saved Parhilaad and you are the who destroyed Harnakash.

gurmukhaa no parteet hai har jee-o manmukh bharam bhulaa-i-aa O Waheguru, O my Lord, Satguru Ji the “gurmukhs” have “parteet” means complete faith. The manmukhs, the people who follow their minds they are lost in their own “bharam” doubts.

har jee ayh tayree vadi-aa-ee.O Waheguru this is your glory, greatness, your “vadi-aa-ee”.

bhagtaa kee paij rakh too su-aamee bhagat tayree sarnaa-ee. rahaa-o O Swami, O Lord, you “paij rakh” protect the honor of your “bhagat” your beloved ones. And the bhagats come into your protection “teri sarnaa-ee”. “rehaa-o” Guru Ji says pause and think about this.

bhagtaa no jam johi na saakai kaal na nayrhai jaa-ee The messengers of death “jam” cannot go near “johi na sakai” the “bhagats” the devotees, the beloved of Waheguru. “kaal” Death cannot touch them. As Guru Nanak Paadshah says in Japji Sahib, “na ooh mareh na thagay jaye jinkay raam vasai man mahay” Those people who have Raam, Waheguru within them they cannot die. Death does not come near them, they are immortal forever.

kayval raam naam man vasi-aa naamay hee mukat paa-ee. Only “raam naam man vasi-aa” name of Waheguru is abiding in their minds. And through the “naamay hee” Naam of Waheguru they acheive “muktee” liberation.

riDh siDh sabh bhagtaa charnee laagee gur kai sahj subhaa-ee. All of the miraculous powers and the spiritual powers, attach themselves to the lotus feet of the “bhagats” devotees, beloved ones of Waheguru. Through the Guru’s grace they achieve utter peace “sahj”, complete and utter inner balance.

manmukhaa no parteet na aavee antar lobh su-aa-o But the “manmukhs” who follow their own minds, they never have any faith because “antar lobh suaa-o” within them they are filled with the taste of “lobh” greed.

gurmukh hirdai sabad na baydi-o har naam na laagaa bhaa-o They are not Gurmukhs, they do not follow the Guru in any way at all and in their “hirdai” hearts they do not attach themselves to the Shabad, to the word of the Guru. “har naam na laagaa bhaa-o” And they do not have any “bhaa-o” love for the Naam, name of Waheguru.

koorh kapat paaj leh jaasee manmukh feekaa alaa-o. But all the “paaj” veils of falsehood, of “kapat”, of evil, and deceiving people “leh jaasee” will all be removed one day. “manmukh feekaa alaa-o” Everything that the ones who follow their minds, the “manmukhs” say is “feekaa” their words has no essence to them, no glory or beauty to them. Their words are hollow.

bhagtaa vich aap varatdaa parabh jee bhagtee hoo too jaataa. Waheguru “aap” himself works through his “bhagat” his devotees, his beloved ones. Only through devotion, only through worship can anyone know the Lord.

maa-i-aa moh sabh lok hai tayree too ayko purakh biDhaataa All this “maya” all this illusion, all this attachment, “sabh lok” all these people Waheguru Ji they are all yours. “too ayko purakh bidhaataa” You are the maker of all destinies.

ha-umai maar mansaa maneh samaanee gur kai sabad pachhaataa Now what happens? My ego is killed, and “mansaa” all my desires just fall away within my mind. “gur kai sabad pachhaataa” I have recognized Waheguru through the words of the Guru.

achint kamm karahi parabh tin kay jin har kaa naam pi-aaraa. God without them having to take any worry, “achint” with no worry, “kamm karahi parabh tin kay” Waheguru does everything for them, He takes on their workload himself, “jin har kaa naam pi-aaraa” for those people who have complete love for the name of Waheguru, who are in love with the name of Waheguru.

gur parsaad sadaa man vasi-aa sabh kaaj savaaranhaaraa. “gur parsaad” Through the Guru’s grace, “sada” forever, Waheguru comes to abide within their mind. “sabh kaaj savaaranhaaraa” He resolves all of their work, everything for them.

onaa kee rees karay so viguchai jin har parabh hai rakhvaaraa. Those people who do their “rees” just pretend to be like them, “so viguchai” they end up being destroy the fakers because the true saints have Waheguru as their “rakhvaaraa” as their protector.

bin satgur sayvay kinai na paa-i-aa manmukh bha-uk mu-ay billaa-ee Without doing the seva of the true Guru, Satguru no one has found God. Manmukhs literally “bhauk” bark like dogs to “muay billaa-ee” their deaths. They bark out thier pains.

aavahi jaaveh tha-ur na paavahi dukh meh dukh samaa-ee They come “aavahi” to this world, they “jaaveh” go, “tha-ur na paavahi” they find no place of rest, no support, no peace of mind, “dukh meh dukh samaa-ee” and they pass away in pain again and again and again.

gurmukh hovai so amrit peevai sehjay saach samaa-ee. People who are “gurmukhs” they drink the “amrit” nectar and in complete balance they “sama-ee” are absorbed into the truth.

bin satgur sayvay janam na chhodai jay anayk karam karai aDhikaa-ee Without doing the seva of the true Guru you cannot “janam na chhodai” escape being born and dying, “jay anayk karam karai aDhikaa-ee” even if you do many rituals.

vayd parheh tai vaad vakaaneh bin har pat gavaa-ee Those people who read the Vedas, all they do is “vakaaneh” argue about them, “bin har pat gavaa-ee” without focusing on Hari they loose all their honor.

sachaa satgur saachee jis banee bhaj chhooteh gur sarnaa-ee The true Guru, the Satguru, whose immortal words are forever “saachee” true. “ bhaj chhooteh gur sarnaa-ee” Run and liberate yourself in the protection of the true Guru.

jin har man vasi-aa say dar saachay dar saachai sachi-aaraa. Those people who have Hari, Waheguru abiding within their mind, they are seen as the true ones at the door of the Lord. “dar saachai sachi-aaraa” and they are called the true ones on the true door, in the true court of Waheguru.

onaa dee sobhaa jug jug ho-ee ko-ay na maytanhaaraa Like Parhilaad their “sobhaa” glories are sung all through out the “jug”, the ages, “ko-ay na maytanhaaraa” and there is no one who can take away that from them.

naanak tin kai sad balihaarai jin har raakhi-aa ur Dhaaraa. Nanak is always a “sad” sacrifice to those people who have Waheguru within their hearts, who focus upon Him within their hearts. So Guru Amar Das is telling us the glory of Waheguru in this Hukamnama and how from the times of Parhilaad to the times now, of Gurmukhs like Bhagat Puran Singh and other such great souls, Waheguru is the one who has saved them and protected them and will always do so.

onaa dee sobhaa jug jug ho-ee ko-ay na maytanhaaraa
naanak tin kai sad balihaarai jin har raakhi-aa ur Dhaaraa
