Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

It shall wash away the sins of countless incarnations. ||2||

I dedicate my mind, body, breath of life and soul to God.

Remembering the Lord in meditation, I have eradicated pride and emotional attachment. ||3||

O Lord, O Merciful to the meek, please give me faith and confidence,

so that slave Nanak may remain absorbed in Your Sanctuary. ||4||20||26||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

The city of heaven is where the Saints dwell.

They enshrine the Lotus Feet of God within their hearts. ||1||

Listen, O my mind and body, and let me show you the way to find peace,

so that you may eat and enjoy the various delicacies of the Lord||1||Pause||

Taste the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your mind.

Its taste is wondrous - it cannot be described. ||2||

Your greed shall die, and your thirst shall be quenched.

The humble beings seek the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God. ||3||

The Lord dispels the fears and attachments of countless incarnations.

God has showered His Mercy and Grace upon slave Nanak. ||4||21||27||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

God covers the many shortcomings of His slaves.

Granting His Mercy, God makes them His own. ||1||

You emancipate Your humble servant,

and rescue him from the noose of the world, which is just a dream. ||1||Pause||

Even huge mountains of sin and corruption

are removed in an instant by the Merciful Lord. ||2||

Sorrow, disease and the most terrible calamities

are removed by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

Bestowing His Glance of Grace, He attaches us to the hem of His robe.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 016

Grasping the Lord's Feet, O Nanak, we enter His Sanctuary. ||4||22||28||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

One who withdraws from God's Path, and attaches himself to the world,

is known as a sinner in both worlds. ||1||

He alone is approved, who pleases the Lord.

Only He Himself knows His creative omnipotence. ||1||Pause||

One who practices truth, righteous living, charity and good deeds,

has the supplies for God's Path. Worldly success shall not fail him. ||2||

Within and among all, the One Lord is awake.

As He attaches us, so are we attached. ||3||

You are inaccessible and unfathomable, O my True Lord and Master.

Nanak speaks as You inspire him to speak. ||4||23||29||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

In the early hours of the morning, I chant the Lord's Name.

I have fashioned a shelter for myself, hear and hereafter. ||1||

Forever and ever, I chant the Lord's Name,

and the desires of my mind are fulfilled. ||1||Pause||

Sing the Praises of the Eternal, Imperishable Lord God, night and day.

In life, and in death, you shall find your eternal, unchanging home. ||2||
