Comments:  Emphasize and extend the “ch” sound of each “sach.”  There must be a space between the words “ajoonee” and “saibhang.”  Do not run them together.  Emphasis on the “ee” sound will help to avoid running the words together. 

Technically, the Mool Mantra goes up to “Jap.”  “Aad Sach, Jugaad Sach, Hai Bhee Sach, Nanak Hosee Bhee Sach” is a Mangala Charan, that is, a mantra that is to connect the speaker and the Infinite, the Infinite and the speaker.  Yogi Bhajan has often referred to the Mangala Charan mantra as a “Kundalini Mantra.” 

The entire Mool Mantra is the highest of all mantras and it contains the “root” (or “mool”) of sound that is the basis for all effective mantras.
