Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

Now, I am totally blissful, carefree and at ease.

The enemies and evil-doers have perished, and I have obtained peace. ||1||Pause||

The True Guru has imparted the Teachings to me.

My soul, body and everything belong to the Lord.

Whatever I do, is by Your Almighty Power.

You are my only Support, You are my only Court. ||2||

If I were to renounce You, God, unto whom could I turn?

There is no other, comparable to You.

Who else is Your servant to serve?

The faithless cynics are deluded; they wander around in the wilderness. ||3||

Your Glorious Greatness cannot be described.

Wherever I am, you save me, hugging me close in Your embrace.

Nanak, Your slave, has entered Your Sanctuary.

God has preserved his honor, and congratulations are pouring in. ||4||5||

Beholding the jewel, this mind is fascinated. ||1||

I have come to the door of the Trader.

Please display the merchandise, so that the business may be transacted. ||1||Pause||

The Trader has sent me to the Banker.

The jewel is priceless, and the capital is priceless.

O my gentle brother, mediator and friend

- I have obtained the merchandise, and my consciousness is now steady and stable. ||2||

I have no fear of thieves, of wind or water.

I have easily made my purchase, and I easily take it away.

I have earned Truth, and I shall have no pain.

I have brought this merchandise home, safe and sound. ||3||

I have earned the profit, and I am happy.

Blessed is the Banker, the Perfect Bestower.

How rare is the Gurmukh who obtains this merchandise;

Nanak has brought this profitable merchandise home. ||4||6||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

He does not consider my merits or demerits.

He does not look at my beauty, color or decorations.

I do not know the ways of wisdom and good conduct.

But taking me by the arm, my Husband Lord has led me to His Bed. ||1||

Hear, O my companions, my Husband, my Lord Master, possesses me.

Placing His Hand upon my forehead, He protects me as His Own. What do these ignorant people know? ||1||Pause||

My married life now appears so beauteous;

my Husband Lord has met me, and He sees all my pains.

Within the courtyard of my heart, the glory of the moon shines.

Night and day, I have fun with my Beloved. ||2||

My clothes are dyed the deep crimson color of the poppy.

All the ornaments and garlands around my neck adorn me.

Gazing upon my Beloved with my eyes, I have obtained all treasures;
