Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Saarang

I have found such a great treasure, a priceless, inexhaustible supply of jewels.

O servant Nanak, when God showered His Mercy on me, my mind drank in the sublime essence of the Lord. ||2||9||32||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Now my mind is absorbed in my Lord and Master.

The Perfect Guru has blessed me with the gift of the breath of life. I am involved with the Lord, like the fish with the water. ||1||Pause||

I have cast out sexual desire, anger, greed, egotism and envy; I have offered all this as a gift.

The Guru has implanted the medicine of the Lord's Mantra within me, and I have met with the All-knowing Lord God. ||1||

My household belongs to You, O my Lord and Master; the Guru has blessed me with God, and rid me of egotism.

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 015

Says Nanak, I have found the Lord with intuitive ease, within the home of my own heart. Devotional worship of the Lord is a treasure over-flowing. ||2||10||33||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

O my Enticing Lord, all beings are Yours - You save them.

Even a tiny bit of Your Mercy ends all cruelty and tyranny. You save and redeem millions of universes. ||1||Pause||

I offer countless prayers; I remember You each and every instant.

Please be merciful to me, O Destroyer of the pains of the poor; please give me Your hand and save me. ||1||

And what about these poor kings? Tell me, who can they kill?

Save me, save me, save me, O Giver of peace; O Nanak, all the world is Yours. ||2||11||34||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Now I have obtained the wealth of the Lord's Name.

I have become carefree, and all my thirsty desires are satisfied. Such is the destiny written on my forehead. ||1||Pause||

Searching and searching, I became depressed; I wandered all around, and finally came back to my body-village.

The Merciful Guru made this deal, and I have obtained the priceless jewel. ||1||

The other deals and trades which I did, brought only sorrow and suffering.

Fearless are those traders who deal in meditation on the Lord of the Universe. O Nanak, the Lord's Name is their capital. ||2||12||35||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

The Speech of my Beloved seems so sweet to my mind.

The Guru has taken hold of my arm, and linked me to God's service. My Beloved Lord is forever merciful to me. ||1||Pause||

O God, You are my Lord and Master; You are the Cherisher of all. My wife and I are totally Your slaves.

You are all my honor and power - You are. Your Name is my only Support. ||1||

If You seat me on the throne, then I am Your slave. If You make me a grass-cutter, then what can I say?

Servant Nanak's God is the Primal Lord, the Architect of Destiny, Unfathomable and Immeasurable. ||2||13||36||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

The tongue becomes beautiful, uttering the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
