Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

Those servants, who lovingly perform the Lord's service, are freed from the cycle of reincarnation.

What shall be the fate of those who forget the Naam? ||3||

As are the cattle which have strayed, so is the entire world.

O God, please cut away Nanak's bonds, and unite him with Yourself. ||4||4||106||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Forget all other things, and dwell upon the Lord alone.

Lay aside your false pride, and dedicate your mind and body to Him. ||1||

Twenty-four hours a day, praise the Creator Lord.

I live by Your bountiful gifts - please, shower me with Your Mercy! ||1||Pause||

So, do that work, by which your face shall be made radiant.

He alone becomes attached to the Truth, O Lord, unto whom You give it. ||2||

So build and adorn that house, which shall never be destroyed.

Enshrine the One Lord within your consciousness; He shall never die. ||3||

The Lord is dear to those, who are pleasing to the Will of God.

By Guru's Grace, Nanak describes the indescribable. ||4||5||107||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

What are they like - those who do not forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord?

Know that there is absolutely no difference; they are exactly like the Lord. ||1||

The mind and body are enraptured, meeting with You, O Lord.

Peace is obtained, by the favor of the Lord's humble servant; all pains are taken away. ||1||Pause||

As many as are the continents of the world, so many have been saved.

Those, in whose minds You Yourself dwell, O Lord, are the perfect devotees. ||2||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 052

Those whom You approve, are approved.

Such a celebrated and honored person is known everywhere. ||3||

Day and night, with every breath to worship and adore the Lord

- please, O True Supreme King, fulfill this, Nanak's desire. ||4||6||108||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

He, my Lord Master, is fully pervading all places.

He is the One Lord Master, the roof over our heads; there is no other than Him. ||1||

As it pleases Your Will, please save me, O Savior Lord.

Without You, my eyes see no other at all. ||1||Pause||

God Himself is the Cherisher; He takes care of each and every heart.

That person, within whose mind You Yourself dwell, never forgets You. ||2||

He does that which is pleasing to Himself.

He is known as the help and support of His devotees, throughout the ages. ||3||

Chanting and meditating up the Lord's Name, the mortal never comes to regret anything.

O Nanak, I thirst for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; please, fulfill my desire, O Lord. ||4||7||109||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Why are you sleeping, and forgetting the Name, O careless and foolish mortal?

So many have been washed away and carried off by this river of life. ||1||
