Parbhaatee Kabeer Jee-o


aval alah noor upaa-i-aa kudrat kay sabh banday.

First, Allah created the Light; then, by His Creative Power, He made all mortal beings.

 

ayk noor tay sabh jag upji-aa ka-un bhalay ko manday. ||1||

From the One Light, the entire universe welled up. So who is good, and who is bad? ||1||


logaa bharam na bhoolahu bhaa-ee.

O people, O Siblings of Destiny, do not wander deluded by doubt.


khaalik khalak khalak meh khaalik poor rahi-o sarab thaaN-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o.

The Creation is in the Creator, and the Creator is in the Creation, totally pervading and permeating all places. ||1||Pause||


maatee ayk anayk bhaaNt kar saajee saajanhaarai.

The clay is the same, but the Fashioner has fashioned it in various ways.


naa kachh poch maatee kay bhaaNday naa kachh poch kumbhaarai. ||2||

There is nothing wrong with the pot of clay - there is nothing wrong with the Potter. ||2||


sabh meh sachaa ayko so-ee tis kaa kee-aa sabh kachh ho-ee.

The One True Lord abides in all; by His making, everything is made.


hukam pachhaanai so ayko jaanai bandaa kahee-ai so-ee. ||3||

Whoever realizes the Hukam of His Command, knows the One Lord. He alone is said to be the Lord's slave. ||3||


alhu alakh na jaa-ee lakhi-aa gur gurh deenaa meethaa.

The Lord Allah is Unseen; He cannot be seen. The Guru has blessed me with this sweet molasses.


kahi kabeer mayree sankaa naasee sarab niranjan deethaa. ||4||3||

Says Kabeer, my anxiety and fear have been taken away; I see the Immaculate Lord pervading everywhere. ||4||3||

Important Note:



(In Sikh Gurbani, Allah is described as Universal , All Prevading God, present in all His creation. But in the Quran, it is described very differently.)  Hence, all Muslim beliefs differ in concept from Sikhism. It is often found that Muslims tend to sing Gurbani only if the word Allah is present. But to sikhs Allah, Ram, Vaheguru, Hari are all different words expressing the same Universal Creator, One God.
