Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Siree Raag

My mind is imbued with the Lord's Love; it is dyed a deep crimson. Truth and charity are my white clothes.

The blackness of sin is erased by my wearing of blue clothes, and meditation on the Lord's Lotus Feet is my robe of honor.

Contentment is my cummerbund, Your Name is my wealth and youth. ||2||

O Baba, the pleasures of other clothes are false.

Wearing them, the body is ruined, and wickedness and corruption enter into the mind. ||1||Pause||

The understanding of Your Way, Lord, is horses, saddles and bags of gold for me.

The pursuit of virtue is my bow and arrow, my quiver, sword and scabbard.

To be distinguished with honor is my drum and banner. Your Mercy is my social status. ||3||

O Baba, the pleasures of other rides are false.

By such rides, the body is ruined, and wickedness and corruption enter into the mind. ||1||Pause||

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the pleasure of houses and mansions. Your Glance of Grace is my family, Lord.

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 004

The Hukam of Your Command is the pleasure of Your Will, Lord. To say anything else is far beyond anyone's reach.

O Nanak, the True King does not seek advice from anyone else in His decisions. ||4||

O Baba, the pleasure of other sleep is false.

By such sleep, the body is ruined, and wickedness and corruption enter into the mind. ||1||Pause||4||7||

Siree Raag, First Mehl:

With the body of saffron, and the tongue a jewel, and the breath of the body pure fragrant incense;

with the face anointed at the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage, and the heart illuminated with wisdom

-with that wisdom, chant the Praises of the True Name, the Treasure of Excellence. ||1||

O Baba, other wisdom is useless and irrelevant.

If falsehood is practiced a hundred times, it is still false in its effects. ||1||Pause||

You may be worshipped and adored as a Pir (a spiritual teacher); you may be welcomed by all the world;

you may adopt a lofty name, and be known to have supernatural spiritual powers

-even so, if you are not accepted in the Court of the Lord, then all this adoration is false. ||2||

No one can overthrow those who have been established by the True Guru.

The Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is within them, and through the Naam, they are radiant and famous.

They worship the Naam, and they believe in the Naam. The True One is forever Intact and Unbroken. ||3||

When the body mingles with dust, what happens to the soul?

All clever tricks are burnt away, and you shall depart crying.

O Nanak, those who forget the Naam-what will happen when they go to the Court of the Lord? ||4||8||

Siree Raag, First Mehl:

The virtuous wife exudes virtue; the unvirtuous suffer in misery.
