Aasaa, First Mehl:

vaajaa math pakhaavaj bhaao ||

Make your intellect your instrument, and love your tambourine;

hoe ana(n)dh sadhaa man chaao ||

thus bliss and lasting pleasure shall be produced in your mind.

eaehaa bhagath eaeho thap thaao ||

This is devotional worship, and this is the practice of penance.

eith ra(n)g naachahu rakh rakh paao ||1||

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||1||

poorae thaal jaanai saalaah ||

Know that the perfect beat is the Praise of the Lord;

hor nachanaa khuseeaa man maah ||1|| rehaao ||

other dances produce only temporary pleasure in the mind. ||1||Pause||

sath sa(n)thokh vajehi dhue thaal ||

Play the two cymbals of truth and contentment.

pairee vaajaa sadhaa nihaal ||

Let your ankle bells be the lasting Vision of the Lord.

Let your harmony and music be the elimination of duality.

eith ra(n)g naachahu rakh rakh paao ||2||

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||2||

bho faeree hovai man cheeth ||

Let the fear of God within your heart and mind be your spinning dance,

behadhiaa out(h)adhiaa neethaa neeth ||

and keep up, whether sitting or standing.

laettan laett jaanai than suaahu ||

To roll around in the dust is to know that the body is only ashes.

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||3||

sikh sabhaa dheekhiaa kaa bhaao ||

Keep the company of the disciples, the students who love the teachings.

As Gurmukh, listen to the True Name.

O Nanak, chant it, over and over again.

I used to dance, alot he he he. I used to be part of a banghara group back in the day.

But when I got into Sikhi I started to feel it wasn't right, just like listening to hip hop and banghara. So I quit!! Mind you I've put on a bit of weight since then, loool!! Or maybe its cos of all the deg I eat now!
