Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Siree Raag

He is the Master who has made the world bloom; He makes the Universe blossom forth, fresh and green.

He holds the water and the land in bondage. Hail to the Creator Lord! ||1||

Death, O Mullah-death will come,

so live in the Fear of God the Creator. ||1||Pause||

You are a Mullah, and you are a Qazi, only when you know the Naam, the Name of God.

You may be very educated, but no one can remain when the measure of life is full. ||2||

He alone is a Qazi, who renounces selfishness and conceit, and makes the One Name his Support.

The True Creator Lord is, and shall always be. He was not born; He shall not die. ||3||

You may chant your prayers five times each day; you may read the Bible and the Koran.

Says Nanak, the grave is calling you, and now your food and drink are finished. ||4||28||

Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fourth House:

The dogs of greed are with me.

In the early morning, they continually bark at the wind.

Falsehood is my dagger; through deception, I eat the carcasses of the dead.

I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||1||

I have not followed good advice, nor have I done good deeds.

I am deformed and horribly disfigured.

Your Name alone, Lord, saves the world.

This is my hope; this is my support. ||1||Pause||

With my mouth I speak slander, day and night.

I spy on the houses of others-I am such a wretched low-life!

Unfulfilled sexual desire and unresolved anger dwell in my body, like the outcasts who cremate the dead.

I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||2||

I make plans to trap others, although I appear gentle.

I am a robber-I rob the world.

I am very clever-I carry loads of sin.

I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||3||

I have not appreciated what You have done for me, Lord; I take from others and exploit them.

What face shall I show You, Lord? I am a sneak and a thief.

Nanak describes the state of the lowly.

I live as a wild hunter, O Creator! ||4||29||

Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fourth House:

There is one awareness among all created beings.

None have been created without this awareness.

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 012

As is their awareness, so is their way.

According to the account of our actions, we come and go in reincarnation. ||1||

Why, O soul, do you try such clever tricks?

Taking away and giving back, God does not delay. ||1||Pause||

All beings belong to You; all beings are Yours. O Lord and Master,

how can You become angry with them?

Even if You, O Lord and Master, become angry with them,

still, You are theirs, and they are Yours. ||2||

We are foul-mouthed; we spoil everything with our foul words.

You weigh us in the balance of Your Glance of Grace.

When one's actions are right, the understanding is perfect.
