ਮੰਘਿਰਿ ਮਾਹਿ ਸੋਹੰਦੀਆ ਹਰਿ ਪਿਰ ਸੰਗਿ ਬੈਠੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਕਿਆ ਗਣੀ ਜਿ ਸਾਹਿਬਿ ਮੇਲੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਮਉਲਿਆ ਰਾਮ ਸਿਉ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਾਧ ਸਹੇਲੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਸਾਧ ਜਨਾ ਤੇ ਬਾਹਰੀ ਸੇ ਰਹਨਿ ਇਕੇਲੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਦੁਖੁ ਨ ਕਬਹੂ ਉਤਰੈ ਸੇ ਜਮ ਕੈ ਵਸਿ ਪੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਜਿਨੀ ਰਾਵਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਸੇ ਦਿਸਨਿ ਨਿਤ ਖੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਰਤਨ ਜਵੇਹਰ ਲਾਲ ਹਰਿ ਕੰਠਿ ਤਿਨਾ ਜੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਾਂਛੈ ਧੂੜਿ ਤਿਨ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸਰਣੀ ਦਰਿ ਪੜੀਆਹ ॥ ਮੰਘਿਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਰਾਧਣਾ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਜਨਮੜੀਆਹ ॥੧੦॥

English Translation

(Maghar) (Manghar mahein sohandian har pir sung bai therian.)

During the month of Maghar, persons who are enjoying the company and bliss of the Lord’s embrace are really beautiful and praise-worthy. We cannot count the blessings of such persons, who are united with the Lord, as their greatness is really superb in the company of holy saints.

Their body and soul are fully united with the Lord, and enjoy the bliss of True Name. But the self-willed persons, separated from the company of the Guru, suffer the pangs of separation from the Lord-spouse and undergo all sorts of privations being deserted.

Now, this misery has no end as they are in the clutches of Yama (god of death) while the Guru-minded persons, who have enjoyed the bliss of unity with the Lord, always appear active and sublime in their meditation. In fact, their heart is full of love and devotion (the gems of life) to their Master, with their soul completely immersed in their True Name, and they remember the True Lord all the time.

O Nanak! I would like to seek the dust of the lotus feet of such Guru-minded persons, who have surrendered themselves to the Lord completely. So during the month of Maghar, we should remember the Lord; as those persons, who have served the True Master, never suffer the pangs of transmigration. (1)
