Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Dhanaasaree

Be Merciful, God, and bless me with Your Glance of Grace; take my arm and save me - pull me up out of this pit! ||Pause||

He is blinded by sexual desire and anger, bound by Maya; his body and clothes are filled with countless sins.

Without God, there is no other protector; help me to chant Your Name, Almighty Warrior, Sheltering Lord. ||1||

Redeemer of sinners, Saving Grace of all beings and creatures, even those who recite the Vedas have not found Your limit.

God is the ocean of virtue and peace, the source of jewels; Nanak sings the Praises of the Lover of His devotees. ||2||1||53||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

Peace in this world, peace in the next world and peace forever, remembering Him in meditation. Chant forever the Name of the Lord of the Universe.

The sins of past lives are erased, by joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; new life is infused into the dead. ||1||Pause||

By great good fortune, one meets the Divine Guru.

Millions of sins are erased by serving the Lord. ||1||

I am satisfied and satiated, eating the food of Truth.

With my mind, body and tongue, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

Life, spiritual life, is in the Lord.

Spiritual life consists of chanting the Lord's Name in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

He is dressed in robes of all sorts,

if he sings the Kirtan of the Lord's Glorious Praises, day and night. ||2||
