ਸੋ ਗਿਰਹੀ ਜੋ ਨਿਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਕਰੈ · Ang 952

ਮਃ ੧ ॥

mahalaa 1 |

First Mehl:

ਸੋ ਗਿਰਹੀ ਜੋ ਨਿਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਕਰੈ ॥

so girahee jo nigrahu karai |

He alone is a householder, who restrains his passions

ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਭੀਖਿਆ ਕਰੈ ॥

jap tap sanjam bheekhiaa karai |

and begs for meditation, austerity and self-discipline.

ਪੁੰਨ ਦਾਨ ਕਾ ਕਰੇ ਸਰੀਰੁ ॥

pun daan kaa kare sareer |

He gives donations to charity with his body;

ਸੋ ਗਿਰਹੀ ਗੰਗਾ ਕਾ ਨੀਰੁ ॥

so girahee gangaa kaa neer |

such a householder is as pure as the water of the Ganges.

ਬੋਲੈ ਈਸਰੁ ਸਤਿ ਸਰੂਪੁ ॥

bolai eesar sat saroop |

Says Eeshar, the Lord is the embodiment of Truth.

ਪਰਮ ਤੰਤ ਮਹਿ ਰੇਖ ਨ ਰੂਪੁ ॥੨॥

param tant meh rekh na roop |2|

The supreme essence of reality has no shape or form. ||2||
