Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

Nanak ever sings the Praises of the Lord, the treasure of excellence; his doubts and pains are eliminated. ||2||31||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

I have taken the medicine of the Name of the Lord.

I have found peace, and the seat of pain has been removed. ||1||

The fever has been broken, by the Teachings of the Perfect Guru.

I am in ecstasy, and all of my sorrows have been dispelled. ||1||Pause||

All beings and creatures obtain peace,

O Nanak, meditating on the Supreme Lord God. ||2||32||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

That time, which the mortal does not wish for, eventually comes.

Without the Lord's Command, how can understanding be understood? ||1||

The body is consumed by water, fire and earth.

But the soul is neither young nor old, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||

Servant Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Holy.

By Guru's Grace, he has shaken off the fear of death. ||2||33||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Forever and ever, the soul is illumined;

in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, it dwells at the Feet of the Lord. ||1||

Chant the Lord's Name each and every day, O my mind.

You shall find lasting peace, contentment and tranquility, and all your sins shall depart. ||1||Pause||

Says Nanak, one who is blessed with perfect good karma,

meets the True Guru, and obtains the Perfect Supreme Lord God. ||2||34||

Thirty-four Shabads in Second House. ||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

She who has the Lord God as her Friend

her pain is dispelled, and she shall not become sad again. ||1||Pause||

Showing His Mercy, He joins her with His Feet,

and she attains celestial peace, joy and comfort. ||1||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, she sings the Glorious Praises of the Immeasurable Lord.

Remembering the Lord in meditation, O Nanak, she becomes invaluable. ||2||35||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Sexual desire, anger, intoxication with Maya and jealousy - I have lost all of these in the game of chance.

Purity, contentment, compassion, faith and truthfulness - I have ushered these into the home of my self. ||1||

All the loads of birth and death have been removed.

Joining the Saints' Society, my mind has become pure; the Perfect Guru has saved me in an instant. ||1||Pause||

My mind has become the dust of all, and everyone seems a sweet friend to me.

My Lord and Master is contained in all. He gives His Gifts to all beings, and cherishes them. ||2||

He Himself is the One and only; from the One, the One and only, came the expanse of the entire creation.

Chanting and meditating, all the humble beings have become Holy; meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, so many have been saved. ||3||
