Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Swaiyas From The Mouth Of The Great Fifth Mehl

Your servants are totally fulfilled, throughout the ages; O Waahay Guru, it is all You, forever. ||1||11||

Waaho! Waaho! Great! Great is the Play of God!

He Himself laughs, and He Himself thinks; He Himself illumines the sun and the moon.

He Himself is the water, He Himself is the earth and its support. He Himself abides in each and every heart.

He Himself is male, and He Himself is female; He Himself is the chessman, and He Himself is the board.

As Gurmukh, join the Sangat, and consider all this: Waaho! Waaho! Great! Great is the Play of God! ||2||12||

You have formed and created this play, this great game. O Waahay Guru, this is all You, forever.

You are pervading and permeating the water, land, skies and nether regions; Your Words are sweeter than Ambrosial Nectar.

Brahmas and Shivas respect and obey You. O Death of death, Formless Lord, I beg of You.

Section 42 - Swaiyas From The Mouth Of The Great Fifth Mehl - Part 020

By Guru's Grace, the greatest thing is obtained, and the mind is involved with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

You have formed and created this play, this great game. O Waahay Guru, this is all Your making. ||3||13||42||

The Lord is Inaccessible, Infinite, Eternal and Primordial; no one knows His beginning.

Shiva and Brahma meditate on Him; the Vedas describe Him again and again.

The Lord is Formless, beyond hate and vengeance; there is no one else like Him.

He creates and destroys - He is All-powerful; God is the Boat to carry all across.

He created the world in its various aspects; His humble servant MAT'HURAA delights in His Praises.

Sat Naam, the Great and Supreme True Name of God, the Personification of Creativity, dwells in the Consciousness of Guru Raam Daas. ||1||

I have grasped hold of the All-powerful Guru; He has made my mind steady and stable, and embellished me with clear consciousness.

And, His Banner of Righteousness waves proudly forever, to defend against the waves of sin.

His humble servant MAT'HRAA knows this as true, and speaks it from his soul; there is nothing else to consider.

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Lord's Name is the Great Ship, to carry us all across the terrifying world-ocean, safely to the other side. ||2||

The Saints dwell in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; imbued with pure celestial love, they sing the Lord's Praises.

The Support of the Earth has established this Path of Dharma; He Himself remains lovingly attuned to the Lord, and does not wander in distraction.

So speaks MAT'HURAA: those blessed with good fortune receive the fruits of their minds' desires.

Those who focus their consciousness on the Guru's Feet, they do not fear the judgement of Dharamraj. ||3||
