Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

Meet with the Lord-Guru, O my dear beloved, and He will dwell in the home of your self.

Revel in His Love, O my dear beloved, as the Lord bestows His Mercy.

As Guru Nanak is pleased, O my dear beloved, we are united with the Lord. ||1||

I have not tasted divine love, O my dear beloved, within my heart.

The mind's desires are not quenched, O my dear beloved, but I still hold out hope.

Youth is passing away, O my dear beloved, and death is stealing away the breath of life.

The virtuous bride realizes the good fortune of her destiny, O my dear beloved; O Nanak, she enshrines the Lord within her heart. ||2||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 106

My eyes are drenched with the Love of my Husband Lord, O my dear beloved, like the song-bird with the rain drop.

My mind is cooled and soothed, O my dear beloved, by drinking in the rain drops of the Lord.

Separation from my Lord keeps my body awake, O my dear beloved; I cannot sleep at all.

Nanak has found the Lord, the True Friend, O my dear beloved, by loving the Guru. ||3||

In the month of Chayt, O my dear beloved, the pleasant season of spring begins.

But without my Husband Lord, O my dear beloved, my courtyard is filled with dust.

But my sad mind is still hopeful, O my dear beloved; my eyes are both fixed upon Him.

Beholding the Guru, Nanak is filled with wondrous joy, like a child, gazing upon his mother. ||4||

The True Guru has preached the sermon of the Lord, O my dear beloved.

I am a sacrifice to the Guru, O my dear beloved, who has united me with the Lord.

The Lord has fulfilled all my hopes, O my dear beloved; I have obtained the fruits of my heart's desires.

When the Lord is pleased, O my dear beloved, servant Nanak is absorbed into the Naam. ||5||

Without the Beloved Lord, there is no play of love.

How can I find the Guru? Grasping hold of Him, I behold my Beloved.

O Lord, O Great Giver, let me meet the Guru; as Gurmukh, may I merge with You.

Nanak has found the Guru, O my dear beloved; such was the destiny inscribed upon his forehead. ||6||14||21||

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

Raag Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Chhant, First House:

Joy - great joy! I have seen the Lord God!

Tasted - I have tasted the sweet essence of the Lord.

The sweet essence of the Lord has rained down in my mind; by the pleasure of the True Guru, I have attained peaceful ease.

I have come to dwell in the home of my own self, and I sing the songs of joy; the five villains have fled.

I am soothed and satisfied with the Ambrosial Bani of His Word; the friendly Saint is my advocate.

Says Nanak, my mind is in harmony with the Lord; I have seen God with my eyes. ||1||

Adorned - adorned are my beauteous gates, O Lord.

Guests - my guests are the Beloved Saints, O Lord.
