Salok:
ਰਚੰਤਿ ਜੀਅ ਰਚਨਾ ਮਾਤ ਗਰਭ ਅਸਥਾਪਨੰ ॥
rachant jeea rachanaa maat garabh asathaapanan |
Creating the soul, the Lord places this creation in the womb of the mother.
ਸਾਸਿ ਸਾਸਿ ਸਿਮਰੰਤਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਹਾ ਅਗਨਿ ਨ ਬਿਨਾਸਨੰ ॥੧॥
saas saas simarant naanak mahaa agan na binaasanan |1|
With each and every breath, it meditates in remembrance on the Lord, O Nanak; it is not consumed by the great fire. ||1||
ਮੁਖੁ ਤਲੈ ਪੈਰ ਉਪਰੇ ਵਸੰਦੋ ਕੁਹਥੜੈ ਥਾਇ ॥
mukh talai pair upare vasando kuhatharrai thaae |
With its head down, and feet up, it dwells in that slimy place.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋ ਧਣੀ ਕਿਉ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਓ ਉਧਰਹਿ ਜਿਸ ਦੈ ਨਾਇ ॥੨॥
naanak so dhanee kiau visaario udhareh jis dai naae |2|
O Nanak, how could we forget the Master? Through His Name, we are saved. ||2||
