Bidar, the son of a slave-girl, was purified, and all his generations were redeemed. ||3||

What sins of mine should I speak of? I am intoxicated with false emotional attachment.

Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Lord; please, reach out and take me into Your embrace. ||4||2||

Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:

For the sake of riches, I wandered around in so many ways; I rushed around, making all sorts of efforts.

The deeds I did in egotism and pride, have all been done in vain. ||1||

Other days are of no use to me;

please bless me with those days, O Dear God, on which I may sing the Lord's Praises. ||1||Pause||

Gazing upon children, spouse, household and possessions, one is entangled in these.

Tasting the wine of Maya, one is intoxicated, and never sings of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||

In this way, I have examined lots of methods, but without the Saints, it is not found.

You are the Great Giver, the great and almighty God; I have come to beg a gift from You. ||3||

Abandoning all pride and self-importance, I have sought the Sanctuary of the dust of the feet of the Lord's slave.

Says Nanak, meeting with the Lord, I have become one with Him; I have found supreme bliss and peace. ||4||3||

Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:

In what place is the Name established? Where does egotism dwell?

What injury have you suffered, listening to abuse from someone else's mouth? ||1||

Listen: who are you, and where did you come from?

You don't even know how long you will stay here; you have no hint of when you shall leave. ||1||Pause||

Wind and water have patience and tolerance; the earth has compassion and forgiveness, no doubt.

The union of the five tattvas - the five elements - has brought you into being. Which of these is evil? ||2||

The Primal Lord, the Architect of Destiny, formed your form; He also burdened you with egotism.

He alone is born and dies; He alone comes and goes. ||3||

Nothing of the color and the form of the creation shall remain; the entire expanse is transitory.

Prays Nanak, when He brings His play to its close, then only the One, the One Lord remains. ||4||4||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 012

Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:

Pride, emotional attachment, greed and corruption are gone; I have not placed anything else, other than the Lord, within my consciousness.

I have purchased the jewel of the Naam and the Glorious Praises of the Lord; loading this merchandise, I have set out on my journey. ||1||

The love which the Lord's servant feels for the Lord lasts forever.

In my life, I served my Lord and Master, and as I depart, I keep Him enshrined in my consciousness. ||1||Pause||

I have not turned my face away from my Lord and Master's Command.
