This Truth is the Lord and Master of all; whoever is blessed, obtains it.

Says Nanak, sing the true song of praise in the true home of your soul. ||39||

Listen to the song of bliss, O most fortunate ones; all your longings shall be fulfilled.

I have obtained the Supreme Lord God, and all sorrows have been forgotten.

Pain, illness and suffering have departed, listening to the True Bani.

The Saints and their friends are in ecstasy, knowing the Perfect Guru.

Pure are the listeners, and pure are the speakers; the True Guru is all-pervading and permeating.

Prays Nanak, touching the Guru's Feet, the unstruck sound current of the celestial bugles vibrates and resounds. ||40||1||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 048

Raamkalee, Sadd ~ The Call Of Death:

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

He is the Great Giver of the Universe, the Lover of His devotees, throughout the three worlds.

One who is merged in the Word of the Guru's Shabad does not know any other.

Dwelling upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he does not know any other; he meditates on the One Name of the Lord.

By the Grace of Guru Nanak and Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das obtained the supreme status.

And when the call came for Him to depart, He merged in the Name of the Lord.

Through devotional worship in this world, the imperishable, immovable, immeasurable Lord is found. ||1||

The Guru gladly accepted the Lord's Will, and so the Guru easily reached the Lord God's Presence.

The True Guru prays to the Lord, "Please, save my honor. This is my prayer".

Please save the honor of Your humble servant, O Lord; please bless him with Your Immaculate Name.

At this time of final departure, it is our only help and support; it destroys death, and the Messenger of Death.

The Lord God heard the prayer of the True Guru, and granted His request.

The Lord showered His Mercy, and blended the True Guru with Himself; He said, "Blessed! Blessed! Wonderful!"||2||

Listen O my Sikhs, my children and Siblings of Destiny; it is my Lord's Will that I must now go to Him.

The Guru gladly accepted the Lord's Will, and my Lord God applauded Him.

One who is pleased with the Lord God's Will is a devotee, the True Guru, the Primal Lord.

The unstruck sound current of bliss resounds and vibrates; the Lord hugs him close in His embrace.

O my children, siblings and family, look carefully in your minds, and see.

The pre-ordained death warrant cannot be avoided; the Guru is going to be with the Lord God. ||3||

The True Guru, in His Own Sweet Will, sat up and summoned His family.

Let no one weep for me after I am gone. That would not please me at all.

When a friend receives a robe of honor, then his friends are pleased with his honor.
