Reflection -

When the Samrath Guru
put his hand on my head
he gave me Hari’s name
and my burns were healed

Whether it was night or day
hearing Hari’s name incessantly
even the messenger of death
himself was fearful

The only wish I had left
was of the universe’s Guru,
Of touching that magical stone
who’s touch makes you magical

The disciple of the Guru
became divine himself ….
when the samrath guru
placed his hand on the head

Original Lyrics and Traditional Translation 

ਸਮਰਥ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਿਰਿ ਹਥੁ ਧਰ੍ਯ੍ਯਉ ॥ 
समरथ गुरू सिरि हथु धर्यउ ॥ 
Samrath gurū sir hath ḏẖaryao. 
The All-powerful Guru placed His hand upon my head. 


ਗੁਰਿ ਕੀਨੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਅਉ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਖਿ ਚਰੰਨ ਅਘੰਨ ਹਰ੍ਯ੍ਯਉ ॥ 
गुरि कीनी क्रिपा हरि नामु दीअउ जिसु देखि चरंन अघंन हर्यउ ॥ 
Gur kīnī kirpā har nām ḏīao jis ḏekẖ cẖarann agẖann haryao. 
The Guru was kind, and blessed me with the Lord's Name. Gazing upon His Feet, my sins were dispelled. 


ਨਿਸਿ ਬਾਸੁਰ ਏਕ ਸਮਾਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਸੁ ਨਾਮ ਸੁਨੇ ਸੁਤੁ ਭਾਨ ਡਰ੍ਯ੍ਯਉ ॥ 
निसि बासुर एक समान धिआन सु नाम सुने सुतु भान डर्यउ ॥ 
Nis bāsur ek samān ḏẖiān so nām sune suṯ bẖān daryao. 
Night and day, the Guru meditates on the One Lord; hearing His Name, the Messenger of Death is scared away. 


ਭਨਿ ਦਾਸ ਸੁ ਆਸ ਜਗਤ੍ਰ ਗੁਰੂ ਕੀ ਪਾਰਸੁ ਭੇਟਿ ਪਰਸੁ ਕਰ੍ਯ੍ਯਉ ॥ 
भनि दास सु आस जगत्र गुरू की पारसु भेटि परसु कर्यउ ॥ 
Bẖan ḏās so ās jagṯar gurū kī pāras bẖet paras karyao. 
So speaks the Lord's slave: Guru Raam Daas placed His Faith in Guru Amar Daas, the Guru of the World; touching the Philosopher's Stone, He was transformed into the Philosopher's Stone.
