If you long for your Husband Lord, O soul-bride, you must know that He is not met by falsehood.

No boat or raft can take you to Him. Your Husband Lord is far away. ||1||

My Lord and Master is Perfect; His Throne is Eternal and Immovable.

One who attains perfection as Gurmukh, obtains the Immeasurable True Lord. ||1||Pause||

The Palace of the Lord God is so beautiful. Within it, there are gems, rubies, pearls and flawless diamonds. A fortress of gold surrounds this Source of Nectar.

How can I climb up to the Fortress without a ladder? By meditating on the Lord, through the Guru, I am blessed and exalted. ||2||

The Guru is the Ladder, the Guru is the Boat, and the Guru is the Raft to take me to the Lord's Name.

The Guru is the Boat to carry me across the world-ocean; the Guru is the Sacred Shrine of Pilgrimage, the Guru is the Holy River.

If it pleases Him, I bathe in the Pool of Truth, and become radiant and pure. ||3||

He is called the Most Perfect of the Perfect. He sits upon His Perfect Throne.

He looks so Beautiful in His Perfect Place. He fulfills the hopes of the hopeless.

O Nanak, if one obtains the Perfect Lord, how can his virtues decrease? ||4||9||

Siree Raag, First Mehl:

Come, my dear sisters and spiritual companions; hug me close in your embrace.

Let's join together, and tell stories of our All-powerful Husband Lord.

All Virtues are in our True Lord and Master; we are utterly without virtue. ||1||

O Creator Lord, all are in Your Power.

I dwell upon the One Word of the Shabad. You are mine-what else do I need? ||1||Pause||

Go, and ask the happy soul-brides, "By what virtuous qualities do you enjoy your Husband Lord?"

"We are adorned with intuitive ease, contentment and sweet words.

We meet with our Beloved, the Source of Joy, when we listen to the Word of the Guru's Shabad."||2||

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 005

You have so many Creative Powers, Lord; Your Bountiful Blessings are so Great.

So many of Your beings and creatures praise You day and night.

You have so many forms and colors, so many classes, high and low. ||3||

Meeting the True One, Truth wells up. The truthful are absorbed into the True Lord.

Intuitive understanding is obtained and one is welcomed with honor, through the Guru's Word, filled with the Fear of God.

O Nanak, the True King absorbs us into Himself. ||4||10||

Siree Raag, First Mehl:

It all worked out-I was saved, and the egotism within my heart was subdued.

The evil energies have been made to serve me, since I placed my faith in the True Guru.

I have renounced my useless schemes, by the Grace of the True, Carefree Lord. ||1||

O mind, meeting with the True One, fear departs.
