Classic Sikh

If only someone would come, and lead me to meet my Darling Beloved; I would sell myself to him. ||1||

————————————————————

ਕੋਈ ਆਣਿ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਣ ਜੀਵਾਇਆ ॥

If only someone would come and introduce me to Him, the Rejuvenator of my breath of life.

ਹਉ ਰਹਿ ਨ ਸਕਾ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੇਖੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮਾ ਮੈ ਨੀਰੁ ਵਹੇ ਵਹਿ ਚਲੈ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਪ੍ਸਾਦਿ ॥ ਲੇਲੈ ਮਜਨੂੰ ਆਸਕੀ ਚਹੁ ਚਕੀ ਜਾਤੀ ॥ ਸੋਰਠਿ ਬੀਜਾ ਗਾਵੀਐ ਜਸੁ ਸੁਘੜਾ ਵਾਤੀ ॥ ਸਸੀ ਪੁੰਨੂੰ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਹੁਇ ਜਾਤਿ ਅਜਾਤੀ ॥ ਮਹੀਵਾਲ ਨੋ ਸੋਹਣੀ ਨੈ ਤਰਦੀ ਰਾਤੀ ॥ ਰਾਂਝਾ ਹੀਰ ਵਖਾਣੀਐ ਓਹੁ ਪਿਰਮ ਪਰਾਤੀ ॥ ਪੀਰ ਮੁਰੀਦਾ ਪਿਰਹੜੀ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਪਰਭਾਤੀ ॥੧॥

The Lovers Laila and Majanu are well known in all quarters of the world. The excellent song of Sorath and Bija is sung in every direction. The Love of Sassi and Punnun, though of different castes is everywhere spoken of. The fame of Sohani who used to swim the Chenab river in the night to meet Mahival is well known. Ranjah and Hir are renowned for the Love they bore each other. But superior to all Love is the Love the disciples bear for their Guru. They sing it at the ambrosial hour of the morning.|1|

–Bhai Gurdas’ Vaars

The stories of these lovers are considered some of most epic precedents of love in history. Guru Saahib says that the greatest love is the one that someone holds in his or her heart for Vaheguru. This is purest and most beautiful Love of all. This recording is clipped from January 2, 2011’s Sunday morning Aasaa Kee Vaar from Khalsa Care Foundation [KCF Gurdwara] in Pacoima. Surjit Uncle sang this as his Manglaa Charan before singing “Jin antar har har preet hai…”
