Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Dayv

Again and again, God puts up with the millions of sins of the supremely ungrateful ones.

The embodiment of mercy, the Perfect Transcendent Lord - Nanak longs for His Sanctuary. ||2||17||

Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

Place the Guru's feet within your heart,

and all illness, sorrow and pain shall be dispelled; all suffering shall come to an end. ||1||Pause||

The sins of countless incarnations are erased, as if one has taken purifying baths at millions of sacred shrines.

The treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is obtained by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and centering one's mind in meditation on Him. ||1||

Showing His Mercy, the Lord has made me His slave; breaking my bonds, He has saved me.

I live by chanting and meditating on the Naam, and the Bani of Your Word; slave Nanak is a sacrifice to You. ||2||18||

Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

O mother, I long to see the Feet of God.

Section 10 - Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree - Part 006

Be Merciful to me, O my Lord and Master, that I might never forsake them from my mind. ||1||Pause||

Applying the dust of the feet of the Holy to my face and forehead, I burn away the poison of sexual desire and anger.

I judge myself to be the lowest of all; in this way, I instill peace within my mind. ||1||

I sing the Glorious Praises of the Imperishable Lord and Master, and I shake off all my sins.

I have found the gift of the treasure of the Naam, O Nanak; I hug it close, and enshrine it in my heart. ||2||19||

Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

Dear God, I long to behold the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

I cherish this beautiful meditation day and night; You are dearer to me than my soul, dearer than life itself. ||1||Pause||

I have studied and contemplated the essence of the Shaastras, the Vedas and the Puraanas.

Protector of the meek, Lord of the breath of life, O Perfect One, carry us across the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

Since the very beginning, and throughout the ages, the humble devotees have been Your servants; in the midst of the world of corruption, You are their Support.

Nanak longs for the dust of the feet of such humble beings; the Transcendent Lord is the Giver of all. ||2||20||

Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

Your humble servant, O Lord, is intoxicated with Your sublime essence.

One who obtains the treasure of the Nectar of Your Love, does not renounce it to go somewhere else. ||1||Pause||

While sitting, he repeats the Lord's Name, Har, Har; while sleeping, he repeats the Lord's Name, Har, Har; he eats the Nectar of the Lord's Name as his food.

Bathing in the dust of the feet of the Holy is equal to taking cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage. ||1||
