Lyrics - Jio Jal Meh Jal


Jio jal mėh jal āe kẖatānā. 
Ŧio joṯī sang joṯ samānā. 

Kabhū sāḏẖsangaṯ ih pāvai. 
Us asthān ṯe bahur na āvai. 

Anṯar hoe giān pargās. 
Us asthān kā nahī binās. 

Man ṯan nām raṯe ik rang. 
Saḏā basėh pārbarahm kai sang. 

Jio jal mėh jal āe kẖatānā. 
Ŧio joṯī sang joṯ samānā. 

Mit gae gavan pāe bisrām. 
Nānak parabẖ kai saḏ kurbān. ||8||11|| 


English Translation - Jio Jal Meh Jal

 
As water comes to blend with water, 
his light blends into the Light. 

Sometimes, this being attains the Company of the Holy. 
From that place, he does not have to come back again. 

The light of spiritual wisdom dawns within. 
That place does not perish. 

The mind and body are imbued with the Love of the Naam, the Name of the One Lord. 
He dwells forever with the Supreme Lord God. 

As water comes to blend with water, 
his light blends into the Light. 

Reincarnation is ended, and eternal peace is found. 
Nanak is forever a sacrifice to God. ||8||11||

The Most Sacred Place

After meeting the wise,
there is no coming back for me.

Where the inner light dawns,
my state endures forever.

The mind and body colored with Naam
dwell eternally with Paarbrahm.

Just as water merges with water,
light has seamlessly blended with Light.

My running around has ended, peace reigns.
I am forever grateful for this,

the most sacred place:
the state of being oneself.
