Raag Soohee, Ashtapadees, Fifth Mehl, First House:

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

He is entangled in sinful associations;

his mind is troubled by so very many waves. ||1||

O my mind, how can the Unapproachable and Incomprehensible Lord be found? He is the Perfect Transcendent Lord. ||1||Pause||

He remains entangled in the intoxication of worldly love.

His excessive thirst is never quenched. ||2||

Anger is the outcaste which hides within his body;

he is in the utter darkness of ignorance, and he does not understand. ||3||

Afflicted by doubt, the shutters are shut tight;

he cannot go to God's Court. ||4||

The mortal is bound and gagged by hope and fear;

he cannot find the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, and so he wanders around like a stranger. ||5||

He falls under the power of all negative influences;

he wanders around thirsty like a fish out of water. ||6||

I have no clever tricks or techniques;

You are my only hope, O my Lord God Master. ||7||

Nanak offers this prayer to the Saints

- please let me merge and blend with You. ||8||

God has shown Mercy, and I have found the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

Nanak is satisfied, finding the Perfect Lord. ||1||Second Pause||1||

Raag Soohee, Fifth Mehl, Third House:

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

Attachment to sex is an ocean of fire and pain.

By Your Grace, O Sublime Lord, please save me from it. ||1||

I seek the Sanctuary of the Lotus Feet of the Lord.

He is the Master of the meek, the Support of His devotees. ||1||Pause||

Master of the masterless, Patron of the forlorn, Eradicator of fear of His devotees.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Messenger of Death cannot even touch them. ||2||

The Merciful, Incomparably Beautiful, Embodiment of Life.

Vibrating the Glorious Virtues of the Lord, the noose of the Messenger of Death is cut away. ||3||

One who constantly chants the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam with his tongue,

is not touched or affected by Maya, the embodiment of disease. ||4||

Chant and meditate on God, the Lord of the Universe, and all of your companions shall be carried across;

the five thieves will not even approach. ||5||

One who meditates on the One God in thought, word and deed

- that humble being receives the fruits of all rewards. ||6||

Showering His Mercy, God has made me His own;

He has blessed me with the unique and singular Naam, and the sublime essence of devotion. ||7||

In the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, He is God.

O Nanak, without Him, there is no other at all. ||8||1||2||
