Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

The Virtues of our Virtuous Lord and Master are so profound; how many of His Glorious Virtues should I speak?

Nanak has obtained the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord, Har, Har, in the Company of the Holy. ||4||9||39||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

That life, which has no contact with the Holy, is useless.

Joining their congregation, all doubts are dispelled, and I am emancipated. ||1||

That day, when I meet with the Holy - I am a sacrifice to that day.

Again and again, I sacrifice my body, mind and soul to them. ||1||Pause||

They have helped me renounce this ego, and implant this humility within myself.

This mind has become the dust of all men's feet, and my self-conceit has been dispelled. ||2||

In an instant, I burnt away the ideas of slander and ill-will towards others.

I see close at hand, the Lord of mercy and compassion; He is not far away at all. ||3||

My body and mind are cooled and soothed, and now, I am liberated from the world.

Love, consciousness, the breath of life, wealth and everything, O Nanak, are in the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||4||10||40||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

I perform service for Your slave, O Lord, and wipe his feet with my hair.

I offer my head to him, and listen to the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the source of bliss. ||1||

Meeting You, my mind is rejuvenated, so please meet me, O Merciful Lord.

Night and day, my mind enjoys bliss, contemplating the Lord of Compassion. ||1||Pause||

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 017

God's Holy people are the saviors of the world; I grab hold of the hem of their robes.

Bless me, O God, with the gift of the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||2||

I have no skill or wisdom at all, nor any work to my credit.

Please, protect me from doubt, fear and emotional attachment, and cut away the noose of Death from my neck. ||3||

I beg of You, O Lord of Mercy, O my Father, please cherish me!

I sing Your Glorious Praises, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O Lord, Home of peace. ||4||11||41||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Whatever You wish, You do. Without You, there is nothing.

Gazing upon Your Glory, the Messenger of Death leaves and goes away. ||1||

By Your Grace, one is emancipated, and egotism is dispelled.

God is omnipotent, possessing all powers; He is obtained through the Perfect, Divine Guru. ||1||Pause||

Searching, searching, searching - without the Naam, everything is false.

All the comforts of life are found in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; God is the Fulfiller of desires. ||2||

Whatever You attach me to, to that I am attached; I have burnt away all my cleverness.

You are permeating and pervading everywhere, O my Lord, Merciful to the meek. ||3||
