Jo Mange - Easy Version for Kids

Note to Parents and Kids

Feb 24, 2023: We all learned the first line of Jo Mange Thakur Apne Te in kirtan class last week.  Please listen to this Shabad along with the family as much as you can before class on Sunday.  

This blog post has shabad lyrics (English and Gurbani), a harmonium video, Western score (for kids who know western instruments and want to play along), and also a couple of versions of me singing this Shabad. You can leave any questions/comments you may have about this Shabad or the class on the blogpost above.  I will address the questions on the same post or in class. 

There are many other versions of this Shabad. Our plan is to learn the second line this week and sing the full Shabad the following week. Let’s share this beautiful gift from Guru Arjan with ourselves and our kids.  May the guru be with all of us!

The key message of Jo Mange is to remove our vices: Avgun Sab Mete.  This is what the singer asks for. O oneness, come and hug me and remove my vices. 

Lyrics in English


Jo mange thakur apne te, Soi soi devai
Nanak das mukh te jo bole, Eehaa oohaa sach hovai
Jo mange ...
 
Chatur disa kino bal apna, Sir upar kar dhareyo
Kirpa katakh avalokan kino, Das ka dukh bidaryo
Jo mange ...

Har jan rakhe gur govind, Raakhe gur govind
Kanth lae avguna sab mete, Dyaal purakh bakshand
Jo mange ...

Translation in English by Sant Singh Khalsa


Whatever I ask for from my Lord and Master, he gives that to me.
Whatever the Lord's servant Nanak utters with his mouth, proves to be true, here and hereafter.

He has extended His power in all four directions, and placed His hand upon my head.
Gazing upon me with his Eye of Mercy, He has dispelled the pains of His servant. ||1||

The Guru, the Lord of the Universe, has saved the Lord's humble servant.
Hugging me close in His embrace, the merciful, forgiving Lord has erased all my sins. ||Pause||



Gurbani: ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ à©« ॥
ਚਤੁਰ ਦਿਸਾ ਕੀਨੋ ਬਲੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਿਰ ਊਪਰਿ ਕਰੁ ਧਾਰਿਓ ॥
ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਟਾਖ੍ਯ੍ਯ ਅਵਲੋਕਨੁ ਕੀਨੋ ਦਾਸ ਕਾ ਦੂਖੁ ਬਿਦਾਰਿਓ ॥੧॥

ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਰਾਖੇ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ॥
ਕੰਠਿ ਲਾਇ ਅਵਗੁਣ ਸਭਿ ਮੇਟੇ ਦਇਆਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਬਖਸੰਦ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਜੋ ਮਾਗਹਿ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਤੇ ਸੋਈ ਸੋਈ ਦੇਵੈ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸੁ ਮੁਖ ਤੇ ਜੋ ਬੋਲੈ ਈਹਾ ਊਹਾ ਸਚੁ ਹੋਵੈ ॥੨॥੧੪॥੪੫॥
