The Lord called His minstrel in, and asked, "Why have you come here?"

"O Merciful God, please grant me the gift of continual meditation on the Lord's Name."

And so the Lord, the Great Giver, inspired Nanak to chant the Lord's Name, and blessed him with robes of honor. ||21||1||Sudh||

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Siree Raag, Kabeer Jee: To Be Sung To The Tune Of "Ayk Su-Aan" :

The mother thinks that her son is growing up; she does not understand that, day by day, his life is diminishing.

Calling him, "Mine, mine", she fondles him lovingly, while the Messenger of Death looks on and laughs. ||1||

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 079

You have misled the world so deeply in doubt.

How can people understand You, when they are entranced by Maya? ||1||Pause||

Says Kabeer, give up the pleasures of corruption, or else you will surely die of them.

Meditate on the Lord, O mortal being, through the Word of His Bani; you shall be blessed with eternal life. In this way, shall you cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

As it pleases Him, people embrace love for the Lord,

and doubt and delusion are dispelled from within.

Intuitive peace and poise well up within, and the intellect is awakened to spiritual wisdom.

By Guru's Grace, the inner being is touched by the Lord's Love. ||3||

In this association, there is no death.

Recognizing the Hukam of His Command, you shall meet with your Lord and Master. ||1||Second Pause||

Siree Raag, Trilochan:

The mind is totally attached to Maya; the mortal has forgotten his fear of old age and death.

Gazing upon his family, he blossoms forth like the lotus flower; the deceitful person watches and covets the homes of others. ||1||

When the powerful Messenger of Death comes, no one can stand against his awesome power.

Rare, very rare, is that friend who comes and says,

"O my Beloved, take me into Your Embrace! O my Lord, please save me!"||1||Pause||

Indulging in all sorts of princely pleasures, O mortal, you have forgotten God; you have fallen into the world-ocean, and you think that you have become immortal.

Cheated and plundered by Maya, you do not think of God, and you waste your life in laziness. ||2||

The path you must walk is treacherous and terrifying, O mortal; neither the sun nor the moon shine there.

Your emotional attachment to Maya will be forgotten, when you have to leave this world. ||3||

Today, it became clear to my mind that the Righteous Judge of Dharma is watching us.

His messengers, with their awesome power, crush people between their hands; I cannot stand against them. ||4||

If someone is going to teach me something, let it be that the Lord is pervading the forests and fields.
