Balhaari Gur Aapne - Video, Lyrics and Meanings

 


Thanks to my father, S. Preet Mohan Singh who sketched this Guru Nanak portrait in pencil for this project:




Shloks of Guru Nanak and Guru Angad on Guru:

ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥
सलोकु मः १ ॥
Salok mėhlā 1.
Shalok, First Mehl:

ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਦਿਉਹਾੜੀ ਸਦ ਵਾਰ ॥
बलिहारी गुर आपणे दिउहाड़ी सद वार ॥
Balihārī gur āpṇe ḏi▫uhāṛī saḏ vār.
A hundred times a day, I am a sacrifice to my Guru;

ਜਿਨਿ ਮਾਣਸ ਤੇ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਕੀਏ ਕਰਤ ਨ ਲਾਗੀ ਵਾਰ ॥੧॥
जिनि माणस ते देवते कीए करत न लागी वार ॥१॥
Jin māṇas ṯe ḏevṯe kī▫e karaṯ na lāgī vār. ||1||
He made angels out of men, without delay. ||1||


ਮਹਲਾ ੨ ॥
महला २ ॥
Mėhlā 2.
Second Mehl:

ਜੇ ਸਉ ਚੰਦਾ ਉਗਵਹਿ ਸੂਰਜ ਚੜਹਿ ਹਜਾਰ ॥
जे सउ चंदा उगवहि सूरज चड़हि हजार ॥
Je sa▫o cẖanḏā ugvahi sūraj cẖaṛėh hajār.
If a hundred moons were to rise, and a thousand suns appeared,

ਏਤੇ ਚਾਨਣ ਹੋਦਿਆਂ ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਘੋਰ ਅੰਧਾਰ ॥੨॥
एते चानण होदिआं गुर बिनु घोर अंधार ॥२॥
Ėṯe cẖānaṇ hiḏi▫āʼn gur bin gẖor anḏẖār. ||2||
even with such light, there would still be pitch darkness without the Guru. ||2||
