Nanak Aadh Jugaadh Jiyo
Diljit Dosanjh
Diljit Dosanjh’s Nanak Aadh Jugaadh Jiyo Lyrics Translation in English
Harmanjeet uses the image of stars as a metaphor for Guru Nanak’s followers. The line “To me, these bright, white stars seem like the ‘Sikhs’ of Guru Nanak Ji” conveys this idea. The lyrics translation speaks of a “celestial congregation” of followers united and beyond caste.
O Eh Jo Dis Hai Ambar Taare,Look at the sky and the stars you see,
Kin Oh Cheete Cheetan Haare,Who painted them with such colors?
Roshniyan Di Paalki Da Buha Khol Rahe,They open the door to a palanquin of light.
Chamak-Chamak Ke Taare, Nanak, Nanak Bol Rahe,As they twinkle, the stars chant “Nanak, Nanak.”
Eh Chaanan De Vanjaare,These travelers of divine light
Jo Vekhan De Wich Ik Lagde,all appear as one.
Mainu Chitte-Chitte Taare,To me, these bright white stars
Guru Nanak Ji De Sikh Lagde (X2),seem like the ‘Sikhs’ (disciples) of Guru Nanak Ji.
Chaanan Di Taksal Hai Jithe,It is a place where divine light is created,
Wajda Anhaad Naad Jiyo,where the ‘Anhaad Naad’ (primordial sound) vibrates.
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jiyo,Nanak is the beginning, ‘Aad Jugaad’ (primal and through all ages).
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jiyo.Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all ages.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak Nanak Nanak,With every breath, I repeat Nanak, Nanak, Nanak, Nanak.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak (x2),With every breath, I say Nanak, Nanak.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak Simariye,As we remember Nanak with each breath,
Dum Dum Barse Noor,divine radiance pours down on us.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak Simariye,As we remember Nanak with each breath,
Pargat Hon Hazoor,His presence appears before us.
Jadon Hanera Phailan Lagda,When darkness starts to spread,
Ho Jande Parkaash Mayi,they fill with light.
Aukhe Wele Jud Jande Ne,In hard times, they come together
Sarab Sanjhi Ardaas Layi (x2),for the ‘Sarab Sanjhi Ardaas’ (universal prayer).
Eh Zaat Paat Ton Utte,They rise above caste and creed,
Te Aapas Wich Ik-Mik Lagde,and they seem truly united.
Eh Chitte-Chitte Taare,To me, these bright white stars
Guru Nanak Ji De Sikh Lagde (X2),seem like the ‘Sikhs’ of Guru Nanak Ji.
Asi Hi Bhulle Bhatke Haan,We get lost and forget,
Usnu Hai Sab Yaad Jiyo,but He remembers everything.
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jiyo,Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all ages.
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jiyo.Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all ages.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak Nanak Nanak…..With every breath, I repeat Nanak, Nanak, Nanak, Nanak.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak Simariye,As we remember Nanak with each breath,
Dum Dum Barse Noor,divine radiance pours down on us.
Dum Dum Nanak Nanak Simariye,As we remember Nanak with each breath,
Pargat Hon Hazoor,His presence appears before us.
Chatto-Pehar Vairag Jeha Koi,All day and night, a divine longing
Andre-Andar Risda Hai,seeps deep inside me.
Mainu Har Ik Cheez De Utte,On everything I see,
Nanak Likheya Disda Hai,I see “Nanak” written.
Teri Mehar Ne Amrit Kar Dene,Your mercy will turn what seems like poison
Jo Aava Gaun Ch Bikh Lagde,from this ‘coming and going’ (cycle of rebirth) into sweet nectar.
Eh Chitte-Chitte Taare,To me, these bright white stars
Guru Nanak Ji De Sikh Lagde (X2),seem like the ‘Sikhs’ of Guru Nanak Ji.
Har Jeev Di Manzil Ikko Hi Ae,Every soul shares the same destination,
Rasta Gur Parsad Jiyo,and the path is found by ‘Gur Parsad’ (the Guru’s grace).
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jeeyo,Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all ages.
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jeeyo.Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all ages.
Sangat De Wich Baith Ke Japiye,As we sit in the holy congregation, we chant
Naam Tera Samrath Baba,Your all-powerful name, O Lord.
Tuhi Sirjan Metan Wala,You are the Creator and the Destroyer,
Sab Kujh Tere Hath Baba,everything is in Your hands, O Lord.
Sab Kujh Tere Hath Baba.everything is in Your hands, O Lord.
Tuhi Sacha Babal Hain,You are the one true Father,
Sab Teri Hi Aulaad Jiyo,and we are all Your children.
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jiyo,Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all human ages.
Nanak Aad Jugaad Jiyo (X2).Nanak is the beginning, primal, and eternal through all human ages.
