Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

When it pleases You, I chant Your Name. You alone can grant me peace. ||1||Pause||

Liberation, comfort and proper lifestyle come from serving You; You alone cause us to serve You.

That place is heaven, where the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are sung. You Yourself instill faith into us. ||2||

Meditating, meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Naam, I live; my mind and body are enraptured.

I wash Your Lotus Feet, and drink in this water, O my True Guru, O Merciful to the meek. ||3||

I am a sacrifice to that most wonderful time when I came to Your Door.

God has become compassionate to Nanak; I have found the Perfect True Guru. ||4||8||55||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

When You come to mind, I am totally in bliss. One who forgets You might just as well be dead.

That being, whom You bless with Your Mercy, O Creator Lord, constantly meditates on You. ||1||

O my Lord and Master, You are the honor of the dishonored such as me.

I offer my prayer to You, God; listening, listening to the Word of Your Bani, I live. ||1||Pause||

May I become the dust of the feet of Your humble servants. I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

I enshrine Your Ambrosial Word within my heart. By Your Grace, I have found the Company of the Holy. ||2||

I place the state of my inner being before You; there is no other as great as You.

He alone is attached, whom You attach; he alone is Your devotee. ||3||

With my palms pressed together, I beg for this one gift; O my Lord and Master, if it pleases You, I shall obtain it.

With each and every breath, Nanak adores You; twenty-four hours a day, I sing Your Glorious Praises. ||4||9||56||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

When You stand over our heads, O Lord and Master, how can we suffer in pain?

The mortal being does not know how to chant Your Name - he is intoxicated with the wine of Maya, and the thought of death does not even enter his mind. ||1||

O my Sovereign Lord, You belong to the Saints, and the Saints belong to You.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 023

Your servant is not afraid of anything; the Messenger of Death cannot even approach him. ||1||Pause||

Those who are attuned to Your Love, O my Lord and Master, are released from the pains of birth and death.

No one can erase Your Blessings; the True Guru has given me this assurance. ||2||

Those who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, obtain the fruits of peace. Twenty-four hours a day, they worship and adore You.

In Your Sanctuary, with Your Support, they subdue the five villains. ||3||

I know nothing about wisdom, meditation and good deeds; I know nothing about Your excellence.

Guru Nanak is the greatest of all; He saved my honor in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||4||10||57||
