Says Nanak, the whole world is totally false; it is like a dream in the night. ||2||1||

Saarang, Ninth Mehl:

O mortal, why are you engrossed in corruption?

No one is allowed to remain in this world; one comes, and another departs. ||1||Pause||

Who has a body? Who has wealth and property? With whom should we fall in love?

Whatever is seen, shall all disappear, like the shade of a passing cloud. ||1||

Abandon egotism, and grasp the Sanctuary of the Saints; you shall be liberated in an instant.

O servant Nanak, without meditating and vibrating on the Lord God, there is no peace, even in dreams. ||2||2||

Saarang, Ninth Mehl:

O mortal, why have you wasted your life?

Intoxicated with Maya and its riches, involved in corrupt pleasures, you have not sought the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

This whole world is just a dream; why does seeing it fill you with greed?

Everything that has been created will be destroyed; nothing will remain. ||1||

You see this false body as true; in this way, you have placed yourself in bondage.

O servant Nanak, he is a liberated being, whose consciousness lovingly vibrates, and meditates on the Lord. ||2||3||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

In my mind, I never sang the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 036

I remained under the influence of corruption, night and day; I did whatever I pleased. ||1||Pause||

I never listened to the Guru's Teachings; I was entangled with others' spouses.

I ran all around slandering others; I was taught, but I never learned. ||1||

How can I even describe my actions? This is how I wasted my life.

Says Nanak, I am totally filled with faults. I have come to Your Sanctuary - please save me, O Lord! ||2||4||3||13||139||4||159||

Raag Saarang, Ashtapadees, First Mehl, First House:

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

How can I live, O my mother?

Hail to the Lord of the Universe. I ask to sing Your Praises; without You, O Lord, I cannot even survive. ||1||Pause||

I am thirsty, thirsty for the Lord; the soul-bride gazes upon Him all through the night.

My mind is absorbed into the Lord, my Lord and Master. Only God knows the pain of another. ||1||

My body suffers in pain, without the Lord; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I find the Lord.

O Dear Lord, please be kind and compassionate to me, that I might remain merged in You, O Lord. ||2||

Follow such a path, O my conscious mind, that you may remain focused on the Feet of the Lord.

I am wonder-struck, singing the Glorious Praises of my Fascinating Lord; I am intuitively absorbed in the Fearless Lord. ||3||

That heart, in which the Eternal, Unchanging Naam vibrates and resounds, does not diminish, and cannot be evaluated.
