Meeting with the True Guru, the mortal becomes immaculately pure; with his tongue, he chants the Ambrosial Name of the Lord. ||2||

He preserves his body and wealth, and takes everything as his own; such are the subtle bonds which bind him.

By Guru's Grace, the mortal becomes liberated, meditating on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

God, the Savior, has saved those, who are pleasing to the Will of God.

The soul and body are all Yours, O Great Giver; O Nanak, I am forever a sacrifice. ||4||11||50||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

You have avoided the slumber of attachment and impurity - by whose favor has this happened?

The great enticer does not affect you. Where has your laziness gone? ||1||Pause||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 038

How have you escaped from the treachery of sexual desire, anger and egotism?

The holy beings, angels and demons of the three qualities, and all the worlds have been plundered. ||1||

The forest fire has burnt down so much of the grass; how rare are the plants which have remained green.

He is so All-powerful, that I cannot even describe Him; no one can chant His Praises. ||2||

In the store-room of the lamp-black, I did not turn black; my color remained immaculate and pure.

The Guru has implanted the Maha Mantra, the Great Mantra, within my heart, and I have heard the wondrous Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

Showing His Mercy, God has looked upon me with favor, and He has attached me to His feet.

Through loving devotional worship, O Nanak, I have obtained peace; in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I am absorbed into the Lord. ||4||12||51||

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

Raag Aasaa, Seventh House, Fifth Mehl:

That red dress looks so beautiful on your body.

Your Husband Lord is pleased, and His heart is enticed. ||1||

Whose handiwork is this red beauty of yours?

Whose love has rendered the poppy so red? ||1||Pause||

You are so beautiful; you are the happy soul-bride.

Your Beloved is in your home; good fortune is in your home. ||2||

You are pure and chaste, you are most distinguished.

You are pleasing to Your Beloved, and you have sublime understanding. ||3||

I am pleasing to my Beloved, and so I am imbued with the deep red color.

Says Nanak, I have been totally blessed with the Lord's Glance of Grace. ||4||

Listen, O companions: this is my only work;

God Himself is the One who embellishes and adorns. ||1||Second Pause||1||52||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

I suffered in pain, when I thought He was far away;

but now, He is Ever-present, and I receive His instructions. ||1||

My pride is gone, O friends and companions;

my doubt is dispelled, and the Guru has united me with my Beloved. ||1||Pause||
