ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥
salok mahalaa teejaa ||
Shalok, Third Mehla:
ਰੇ ਜਨ ਉਥਾਰੈ ਦਬਿਓਹੁ ਸੁਤਿਆ ਗਈ ਵਿਹਾਇ ॥
re jan uthaarai dhabioh sutiaa giee vihai ||
O man, you have been tormented by a nightmare, and you have passed your life in sleep.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਨ ਜਾਗਿਓ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨ ਉਪਜਿਓ ਚਾਉ ॥
satigur kaa sabadh sun na jaagio a(n)tar na upajio chaau ||
You did not wake to hear the Word of the True Guru's Shabad; you have no inspiration within yourself.
ਸਰੀਰੁ ਜਲਉ ਗੁਣ ਬਾਹਰਾ ਜੋ ਗੁਰ ਕਾਰ ਨ ਕਮਾਇ ॥
sareer jalau gun baaharaa jo gur kaar na kamai ||
That body burns, which has no virtue, and which does not serve the Guru.
ਜਗਤੁ ਜਲੰਦਾ ਡਿਠੁ ਮੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥
jagat jala(n)dhaa ddiTh mai haumai dhoojai bhai ||
I have seen that the world is burning, in egotism and the love of duality.
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਉਬਰੇ ਸਚੁ ਮਨਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਧਿਆਇ ॥੧॥
naanak gur saranaiee ubare sach man sabadh dhiaai ||1||
O Nanak, those who seek the Guru's Sanctuary are saved; within their minds, they meditate on the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||
ਮਃ ੩ ॥
mahalaa teejaa ||
Third Mehla:
ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਗਈ ਸੋਭਾਵੰਤੀ ਨਾਰਿ ॥
sabadh rate haumai giee sobhaava(n)tee naar ||
Attuned to the Word of the Shabad, the soul-bride is rid of egotism, and she is glorified.
ਪਿਰ ਕੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਸਦਾ ਚਲੈ ਤਾ ਬਨਿਆ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ॥
pir kai bhaanai sadhaa chalai taa baniaa seegaar ||
If she walks steadily in the way of His Will, then she is adorned with decorations.
ਸੇਜ ਸੁਹਾਵੀ ਸਦਾ ਪਿਰੁ ਰਾਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਵਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਾਰਿ ॥
sej suhaavee sadhaa pir raavai har var paiaa naar ||
Her couch becomes beautiful, and she constantly enjoys her Husband Lord; she obtains the Lord as her Husband.
ਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਕਦੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਾਗੈ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਹਾਗਣਿ ਨਾਰਿ ॥
naa har marai na kadhe dhukh laagai sadhaa suhaagan naar ||
The Lord does not die, and she never suffers pain; she is a happy soul-bride forever.
ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਲਿ ਲਈ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਹੇਤਿ ਪਿਆਰਿ ॥੨॥
naanak har prabh mel liee gur kai het piaar ||2||
O Nanak, the Lord God unites her with Himself; she enshrines love and affection for the Guru. ||2||

pauRee ||
Pauree:
ਜਿਨਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਪਿਆ ਆਪਣਾ ਤੇ ਨਰ ਬੁਰਿਆਰੀ ॥
jinaa gur gopiaa aapanaa te nar buriaaree ||
Those who conceal and deny their Guru, are the most evil people.
ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਨਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਪਾਪਿਸਟ ਹਤਿਆਰੀ ॥
har jeeau tin kaa dharasan naa karahu paapisaT hatiaaree ||
O Dear Lord, let me not even see them; they are the worst sinners and murderers.
ਓਹਿ ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਫਿਰਹਿ ਕੁਸੁਧ ਮਨਿ ਜਿਉ ਧਰਕਟ ਨਾਰੀ ॥
oh ghar ghar fireh kusudh man jiau dharakaT naaree ||
They wander from house to house, with impure minds, like wicked, forsaken women.
ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਵਾਰੀ ॥
vaddabhaagee sa(n)gat mile gurmukh savaaree ||
But by great good fortune, they may meet the Company of the Holy; as Gurmukhs, they are reformed.
ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲਹੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ॥੨੩॥
har melahu satigur dhiaa kar gur kau balihaaree ||23||
O Lord, please be kind and let me meet the True Guru; I am a sacrifice to the Guru. ||23||
End of the Hukamnama
Past seven days
What is a Hukamnama?
Each morning at Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, after Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is opened with prayer, the Granthi reads the shabad at the top of the left page the Guru opens to. That shabad is the Hukamnama, the Guru's order for the day. The word joins hukam, an order, and nama, a letter.
It is taken once and shared everywhere, so a Sikh in Amritsar and one in California read the same shabad that day. Many Sikhs read it after their morning Nitnem, or listen to it on the way to work, and carry a line of it through the day.
This page shows the day's Hukamnama in Gurmukhi with a transliteration and English translation, and the recording of it when one is available. The Simran app brings it to your phone each morning, with the lock screen widget showing the first line where you will see it first.
Frequently asked questions
What time is the Hukamnama taken?
It is taken at Sri Harmandir Sahib early in the morning, India time, and appears here soon after. India is twelve and a half hours ahead of California and five and a half hours ahead of London, so by the clock in North America the new Hukamnama usually arrives the evening before.
Why does the date look a day ahead of mine?
The date is the day in Amritsar, where the Hukamnama is taken. When it is Tuesday morning there it is still Monday evening in most of the Americas.
Can I read an earlier Hukamnama?
The past seven days are listed above. Each opens that day's full shabad in Gurmukhi with transliteration and English.
How do I get the Hukamnama on my lock screen?
The Simran app has a Daily Hukamnama widget for the lock screen on iPhone and Android. Add it once and the day's shabad is there each morning. The lock screen widget page walks through the setup.
