Lyrics in Punjabi

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥

ਆਖਾ ਜੀਵਾ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਉ ॥
ਆਖਣਿ ਅਉਖਾ ਸਾਚਾ ਨਾਉ ॥
ਸਾਚੇ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਲਾਗੈ ਭੂਖ ॥
ਤਿਤੁ ਭੂਖੈ ਖਾਇ ਚਲੀਅਹਿ ਦੂਖ ॥੧॥

ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਇ ॥
ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਾਚੈ ਨਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਸਾਚੇ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਤਿਲੁ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥
ਆਖਿ ਥਕੇ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
ਜੇ ਸਭਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਕੈ ਆਖਣ ਪਾਹਿ ॥
ਵਡਾ ਨ ਹੋਵੈ ਘਾਟਿ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

ਨਾ ਓਹੁ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੋਗੁ ॥
ਦੇਂਦਾ ਰਹੈ ਨ ਚੂਕੈ ਭੋਗੁ ॥
ਗੁਣੁ ਏਹੋ ਹੋਰੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਕੋਇ ॥
ਨਾ ਕੋ ਹੋਆ ਨਾ ਕੋ ਹੋਇ ॥੩॥

ਜੇਵਡੁ ਆਪਿ ਤੇਵਡ ਤੇਰੀ ਦਾਤਿ ॥
ਜਿਨਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਕੈ ਕੀਤੀ ਰਾਤਿ ॥
ਖਸਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਹਿ ਤੇ ਕਮਜਾਤਿ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਵੈ ਬਾਝੁ ਸਨਾਤਿ ॥੪॥੨॥

Lyrics in English

Āsā mėhlā 1.

Ākẖā(n) jīvā(n) visrai mar jāo(n).
Ākẖaṇ aukẖā sācẖā nāo.
Sācẖe nām kī lāgai bẖūkẖ.
Ŧiṯ bẖūkẖai kẖāe cẖalīahi ḏūkẖ. ||1||

So kio visrai merī māe.
Sācẖā sāhib sācẖai nāe. ||1|| rahāo.

Sācẖe nām kī ṯil vadiāī.
Ākẖ thake kīmaṯ nahī pāī.
Je sabẖ mil kai ākẖaṇ pāhi.
vadā na hovai gẖāt na jāe. ||2||

Nā oh marai na hovai sog.
Ḏeʼnḏā rahai na cẖūkai bẖog.
Guṇ eho hor nāhī koe.
Nā ko hoā nā ko hoe. ||3||

Jevad āp ṯevad ṯerī ḏāṯ.
Jin ḏin kar kai kīṯī rāṯ.
Kẖasam visārėh ṯe kamjāṯ.
Nānak nāvai bājẖ sanāṯ. ||4||2||

Translation -

In the melody of Hope

Chanting the Name, I live; forgetting it, I die.
It is so difficult to chant the True Name.
If someone feels hunger for the True Name,
then that hunger shall consume his pains. ||1||

So how could I ever forget Him, O my Mother?
True is the Master, and True is His Name. ||1||Pause||

The greatness of even an iota of the True Name,
people have grown weary of trying to appraise but they have not been able to.
Even if they were all to meet together and recount them,
You would not be made any greater or lesser. ||2||

He does not die - there is no reason to mourn.
He continues to give, but His Provisions are never exhausted.
This Glorious Virtue is His alone - no one else is like Him;
there has never been anyone like Him, and there never shall be. ||3||

As Great as You Yourself are, so Great are Your Gifts.
It is You who created day and night as well.
Those who forget their Lord and Master are vile and despicable.
O Nanak, without the Name, people are wretched outcasts. ||4||2||

Lyrics in Hindi
आसा महला १ ॥

आखा जीवा विसरै मरि जाउ ॥
आखणि अउखा साचा नाउ ॥
साचे नाम की लागै भूख ॥
तितु भूखै खाइ चलीअहि दूख ॥१॥

सो किउ विसरै मेरी माइ ॥
साचा साहिबु साचै नाइ ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥

साचे नाम की तिलु वडिआई ॥
आखि थके कीमति नही पाई ॥
जे सभि मिलि कै आखण पाहि ॥
वडा न होवै घाटि न जाइ ॥२॥

ਨਾ ਓਹੁ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੋਗੁ ॥
देंदा रहै न चूकै भोगु ॥
गुणु एहो होरु नाही कोइ ॥
ना को होआ ना को होइ ॥३॥

जेवडु आपि तेवड तेरी दाति ॥
जिनि दिनु करि कै कीती राति ॥
खसमु विसारहि ते कमजाति ॥
नानक नावै बाझु सनाति ॥४॥२॥
