Sumiran kar le is a song written by the mystic saint poet Gurunanak. This was also a song we used to sing in our morning assembly at Rishi Valley school.
Song lyrics -
Sumiran karle mere mana,
teri beeti umar hari naam bina,
Koopa neer bin dhenu chheer bin,
dharti megha bina,
jaise taruvar phal bina heena,
taise praani hari naam bina,
Deha naina bin raina chandra bin
mandir deep nina
jaise pandit ved bhina
taise praani hari naam bina
Kaam krodh mad lobh niraado
chaad de sab sant jana
kahe naanak shah sun bhagwanta
ya jag main nahi koi apna
Song meaning -
Say the holy name the one, o heart of mine,
your life ages away without the name of hari
A well without water, cow without milk,
the earth without rain and clouds,
the tree without fruit,
that's the being without the name of hari
A body without eyes, night without moon,
temple without lamps
preist without scriptures
that's the being without the name of hari
Dispel lust, anger, jealousy and pride from your life
leave this materialistic world behind like the saints
gurunaanak says, listen lord of all
in this materialistic world, there is no one truly my own
lyrics
Sumiran karle mere mana,
teri beeti umar hari naam bina,
Koopa neer bin dhenu chheer bin,
dharti megha bina,
jaise taruvar phal bina heena,
taise praani hari naam bina,
Deha naina bin raina chandra bin
mandir deep nina
jaise pandit ved bhina
taise praani hari naam bina
Kaam krodh mad lobh niraado
chaad de sab sant jana
kahe naanak shah sun bhagwanta
ya jag main nahi koi apna
