ਵੈਸਾਖਿ ਧੀਰਨਿ ਕਿਉ ਵਾਢੀਆ ਜਿਨਾ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਬਿਛੋਹੁ ॥
वैसाखि धीरनि किउ वाढीआ जिना प्रेम बिछोहु ॥
vaisaakh Dheeran ki-o vaadhee-aa jinaa paraym bichhohu.
In the month of Vaisaakh, how can the bride be patient?
She is separated from her Beloved.
ਹਰਿ ਸਾਜਨੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਕੈ ਲਗੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਧੋਹੁ ॥
हरि साजनु पुरखु विसारि कै लगी माइआ धोहु ॥
har saajan purakh visaar kai lagee maa-i-aa Dhohu.
She has forgotten the Lord, her Life-companion, her Master; she has become attached to Maya, the deceitful one.
ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਕਲਤ੍ਰ ਨ ਸੰਗਿ ਧਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਅਵਿਨਾਸੀ ਓਹੁ ॥
पुत्र कलत्र न संगि धना हरि अविनासी ओहु ॥
putar kaltar na sang Dhanaa har avinaasee oh.
Neither son, nor spouse, nor wealth shall go along with you-only the Eternal Lord.
ਪਲਚਿ ਪਲਚਿ ਸਗਲੀ ਮੁਈ ਝੂਠੈ ਧੰਧੈ ਮੋਹੁ ॥
पलचि पलचि सगली मुई झूठै धंधै मोहु ॥
palach palach saglee mu-ee jhoothai DhanDhai moh.
Entangled and enmeshed in the love of false occupations, the whole world is perishing.
ਇਕਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਗੈ ਲਈਅਹਿ ਖੋਹਿ ॥
इकसु हरि के नाम बिनु अगै लईअहि खोहि ॥
ikas har kay naam bin agai la-ee-ah khohi.
Without the Naam, the Name of the One Lord, they lose their lives in the hereafter.
ਦਯੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਵਿਗੁਚਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
दयु विसारि विगुचणा प्रभ बिनु अवरु न कोइ ॥
da-yu visaar viguchnaa parabh bin avar na ko-ay.
Forgetting the Merciful Lord, they are ruined.
Without God, there is no other at all.
ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਿਲਹੁ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥
नानक की प्रभ बेनती प्रभ मिलहु परापति होइ ॥
naanak kee parabh bayntee parabh milhu paraapat ho-ay.
Nanak makes this prayer to God: "Please, come and unite me with Yourself". ਵੈਸਾਖੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਤਾਂ ਲਗੈ ਜਾ ਸੰਤੁ ਭੇਟੈ ਹਰਿ ਸੋਇ ॥੩॥
वैसाखु सुहावा तां लगै जा संतु भेटै हरि सोइ ॥३॥
vaisaakh suhaavaa taaN lagai jaa sant bhaytai har so-ay. 3
The month of Vaisaakh is beautiful and pleasant, when the Saint causes me to meet the Lord. 3
