Guru Arjan Dev · shabad

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Beg for such blessings from the Lord of the Universe: to work for the Saints, and the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Chanting the Name of the Lord, the supreme status is obtained. ||1|| Pause|| Worship the Feet of Your Lord and Master, and seek His Sanctuary. Take joy in whatever God does. ||1|| This precious human body becomes fruitful, when the True Guru shows His Kindness. ||2|| The house of ignorance, doubt and pain is destroyed, for those within whose hearts the Guru’s Feet abide. ||3|| In the Saadh Sangat, lovingly meditate on God. Says Nanak, you shall obtain the Perfect Lord. ||4||4||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Devotion is the natural quality of God’s devotees. Their bodies and minds are blended with their Lord and Master; He unites them with Himself. ||1|| Pause|| The singer sings the songs, but she alone is saved, within whose consciousness the Lord abides. ||1|| The one who sets the table sees the food, but only one who eats the food is satisfied. ||2|| People disguise themselves with all sorts of costumes, but in the end, they are seen as they truly are. ||3|| Speaking and talking are all just entanglements. O slave Nanak, the true way of life is excellent. ||4||5||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Your humble servant listens to Your Praises with delight. ||1|| Pause|| My mind is enlightened, gazing upon the Glory of God. Wherever I look, there He is. ||1|| You are the farthest of all, the highest of the far, profound, unfathomable and unreachable. ||2|| You are united with Your devotees, through and through; You have removed Your veil for Your humble servants. ||3|| By Guru’s Grace, Nanak sings Your Glorious Praises; he is intuitively absorbed in Samaadhi. ||4||6||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: I have come to the Saints to save myself. ||1|| Pause|| Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of their Darshan, I am sanctified; they have implanted the Mantra of the Lord, Har, Har, within me. ||1|| The disease has been eradicated, and my mind has become immaculate. I have taken the healing medicine of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2|| I have become steady and stable, and I dwell in the home of peace. I shall never again wander anywhere. ||3|| By the Grace of the Saints, the people and all their generations are saved; O Nanak, they are not engrossed in Maya. ||4||7||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: I have totally forgotten my jealousy of others, since I found the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1|| Pause|| No one is my enemy, and no one is a stranger. I get along with everyone. ||1|| Whatever God does, I accept that as good. This is the sublime wisdom I have obtained from the Holy. ||2|| The One God is pervading in all. Gazing upon Him, beholding Him, Nanak blossoms forth in happiness. ||3||8||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: O my Dear Lord and Master, You alone are my Support. You are my Honor and Glory; I seek Your Support, and Your Sanctuary. ||1|| Pause|| You are my Hope, and You are my Faith. I take Your Name and enshrine it within my heart. You are my Power; associating with You, I am embellished and exalted. I do whatever You say. ||1|| Through Your Kindness and Compassion, I find peace; when You are Merciful, I cross over the terrifying world-ocean. Through the Name of the Lord, I obtain the gift of fearlessness; Nanak places his head on the feet of the Saints. ||2||9||
