ਕਬਹੂੰ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਭੈਣ ॥੧॥
Have you ever seen your Lord and Master, O sister? ||1||

ਊਡਾਂ ਊਡਿ ਚੜਾਂ ਅਸਮਾਨਿ ॥
I fly and soar, and ascend to the heavens.

ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸੰਮ੍ਰਿਥ ਤੇਰੈ ਤਾਣਿ ॥
by Your power, O my All-powerful Lord and Master.

ਜਲਿ ਥਲਿ ਡੂੰਗਰਿ ਦੇਖਾਂ ਤੀਰ ॥
I see Him in the water, on the land, in the mountains, on the river-banks,

ਥਾਨ ਥਨੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਬੀਰ ॥੨॥
in all places and interspaces, O brother. ||2||

ਜਿਨਿ ਤਨੁ ਸਾਜਿ ਦੀਏ ਨਾਲਿ ਖੰਭ ॥
He fashioned the body, and gave it wings;

ਅਤਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਉਡਣੈ ਕੀ ਡੰਝ ॥
He gave it great thirst and desire to fly.

ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਾਂ ਬੰਧਾਂ ਧੀਰ ॥
When He bestows His Glance of Grace, I am comforted and consoled.

ਜਿਉ ਵੇਖਾਲੇ ਤਿਉ ਵੇਖਾਂ ਬੀਰ ॥੩॥
As He makes me see, so do I see, O brother. ||3||

ਨ ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਜਾਇਗਾ ਨ ਜਾਹਿਗੇ ਖੰਭ ॥
Neither this body, nor its wings, shall go to the world hereafter.

ਪਉਣੈ ਪਾਣੀ ਅਗਨੀ ਕਾ ਸਨਬੰਧ ॥
It is a fusion of air, water and fire.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਰਮੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਜਪੀਐ ਕਰਿ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੀਰੁ ॥
O Nanak, if it is in the mortal's karma, then he meditates on the Lord, with the Guru as his Spiritual Teacher.

मलार महला १ ॥ (Page 1257, श्री गुरु ग्रंथ साहिब जी) - गुरु नानक देव जी की बानी

बागे कापड़ बोलै बैण ॥
लमा नकु काले तेरे नैण ॥
कबहूं साहिबु देखिआ भैण ॥१॥
ऊडां ऊडि चड़ां असमानि ॥
साहिब सम्रिथ तेरै ताणि ॥
जलि थलि डूंगरि देखां तीर ॥
थान थनंतरि साहिबु बीर ॥२॥
जिनि तनु साजि दीए नालि ख्मभ ॥
अति त्रिसना उडणै की डंझ ॥
नदरि करे तां बंधां धीर ॥
जिउ वेखाले तिउ वेखां बीर ॥३॥
न इहु तनु जाइगा न जाहिगे ख्मभ ॥
पउणै पाणी अगनी का सनबंध ॥
नानक करमु होवै जपीऐ करि गुरु पीरु ॥
सचि समावै एहु सरीरु ॥४॥४॥९॥
