He saved you from the fire of the womb,

and did not destroy you, when you were an egg in your mother's ovary.

Blessing you with meditative remembrance upon Himself, He nurtured you and cherished you; He is the Master of all hearts. ||2||

I have come to the Sanctuary of His lotus feet.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I sing the Praises of the Lord.

I have erased all the pains of birth and death; meditating on the Lord, Har, Har, I have no fear of death. ||3||

God is all-powerful, indescribable, unfathomable and divine.

All beings and creatures serve Him.

In so many ways, He cherishes those born from eggs, from the womb, from sweat and from the earth. ||4||

He alone obtains this wealth,

who savors and enjoys, deep within his mind, the Name of the Lord.

Grasping hold of his arm, God lifts him up and pulls him out of the deep, dark pit. Such a devotee of the Lord is very rare. ||5||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 097

God exists in the beginning, in the middle and in the end.

Whatever the Creator Lord Himself does, comes to pass.

Doubt and fear are erased, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and then one is not afflicted by deadly pain. ||6||

I sing the most Sublime Bani, the Word of the Lord of the Universe.

I beg for the dust of the feet of the Saadh Sangat.

Eradicating desire, I have become free of desire; I have burnt away all my sins. ||7||

This is the unique way of the Saints;

they behold the Supreme Lord God with them.

With each and every breath, they worship and adore the Lord, Har, Har. How could anyone be too lazy to meditate on Him? ||8||

Wherever I look, there I see the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

I never forget God, my Lord and Master, even for an instant.

Your slaves live by meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Lord; You are permeating the woods, the water and the land. ||9||

Even the hot wind does not touch one

who remains awake in meditative remembrance, night and day.

He delights and enjoys meditative remembrance on the Lord; he has no attachment to Maya. ||10||

Disease, sorrow and pain do not affect him;

he sings the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

Please bless me with Your Name, O my Beloved Lord God; please listen to my prayer, O Creator. ||11||

Your Name is a jewel, O my Beloved Lord.

Your slaves are imbued with Your Infinite Love.

Those who are imbued with Your Love, become like You; it is so rare that they are found. ||12||

My mind longs for the dust of the feet of those

who never forget the Lord.

Associating with them, I obtain the supreme status; the Lord, my Companion, is always with me. ||13||

He alone is my beloved friend and companion,
