I beg for one gift only from the Lord.

May all my desires be fulfilled, meditating on, and remembering Your Name, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

May Your feet abide within my heart, and may I find the Society of the Saints.

May my mind not be afflicted by the fire of sorrow; may I sing Your Glorious Praises, twenty-four hours a day. ||1||

May I serve the Lord in my childhood and youth, and meditate on God in my middle and old age.

O Nanak, one who is imbued with the Love of the Transcendent Lord, is not reincarnated again to die. ||2||18||49||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

I beg only from the Lord for all things.

I would hesitate to beg from other people. Remembering God in meditation, liberation is obtained. ||1||Pause||

I have studied with the silent sages, and carefully read the Simritees, the Puraanas and the Vedas; they all proclaim that,

by serving the Lord, the ocean of mercy, Truth is obtained, and both this world and the next are embellished. ||1||

All other rituals and customs are useless, without remembering the Lord in meditation.

O Nanak, the fear of birth and death has been removed; meeting the Holy Saint, sorrow is dispelled. ||2||19||50||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

Desire is quenched, through the Lord's Name.

Great peace and contentment come through the Guru's Word, and one's meditation is perfectly focused upon God. ||1||Pause||

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 024

Please shower Your Mercy upon me, and permit me to ignore the great enticements of Maya, O Lord, Merciful to the meek.

Give me Your Name - chanting it, I live; please bring the efforts of Your slave to fruition. ||1||

All desires, power, pleasure, joy and lasting bliss, are found by chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and singing the Kirtan of His Praises.

That humble servant of the Lord, who has such karma pre-ordained by the Creator Lord, O Nanak - his efforts are brought to perfect fruition. ||2||20||51||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

The Supreme Lord God takes care of His humble servant.

The slanderers are not allowed to stay; they are pulled out by their roots, like useless weeds. ||1||Pause||

Wherever I look, there I see my Lord and Master; no one can harm me.

Whoever shows disrespect to the Lord's humble servant, is instantly reduced to ashes. ||1||

The Creator Lord has become my protector; He has no end or limitation.

O Nanak, God has protected and saved His slaves; He has driven out and destroyed the slanderers. ||2||21||52||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl, Ninth House, Partaal:

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

O Lord, I seek the Sanctuary of Your feet; Lord of the Universe, Destroyer of pain, please bless Your slave with Your Name.
