Shabad Translation - Mithr Piaarae noo(n)
This week's Shabad was written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji and you can find the full

In English the Shabad is translated as follows:

mithr piaarae noo(n) haal mureedhaa dhaa kehinaa
Please tell the dear friend - the Lord - the plight of his disciples.

thudhh bin rog rajaaeeaa dhaa oudtan naag nivaasaa dhae hehinaa
Without you the use of rich blankets is like a disease for us and the
comfort of the house is like living with snakes.

sool suraahee kha(n)jar piaalaa bi(n)g kasaaeeaaa(n) dhaa sehinaa
Our water pitchers are like stakes of torture and our cups have
edges like daggers. Your neglect is like the suffering of animals
at the hands of butchers.

yaararrae dhaa saanoo(n) saathhar cha(n)gaa bhat(h) khaerriaa
dhaa rehinaa
Our Beloved Lord's straw bed is more pleasing to us than living
in costly furnace-like mansions.

The Shabad featured was sung by Jagjit Singh.
