Jo Mangah Thakur Apne Te - Gurbani

This shabad of Gurbani is my all time favorite. The reason are many:

1. When i was a child this was the first shabad that i had learnt.
2. It has a fantastic meaning to it.
3. It has simple words to remember.
4. Everyone enjoys this shabad whenever i have sung it
5. It gives me celestial peace when i hear it or sing it.

The meaning of this shabad is as follows:

Jo mangeh Thakur apne te, soi soi deveh
Nanak das mukh te jo bole, iha uha sach hoveh

Chatur disa kino bal apna, sir upar kar dhareyo
Kirpa katakh avalokan kino, das ka dukh bidaryo

Harijan rakhe Guru Govind, rakhe Guru Govind 
Kanth lae avguna gab mete, dyal purakh bakshind

The Lord gives whatever is asked from Him.
Whatever Nanak, the servant, speaks from H is mouth becomes true here and hereafter.

What ever you ask from your God he will give you by hook or by crook
But the only condition is that you have to be his disciple a very obedient follower.

He has shown his power in all the four directions
And he has proved no one is as great as Him
Therefore he can change the entire world to his tunes
to give peace to his disciple and remove all his distress

The true disciple is always protected by Him
He embraces, removes all the bad deeds,
He is a care taker of all
