PRABHAATEE, FIFTH MEHL, BIBHAAS

Guru Arjan Dev · shabad

PRABHAATEE, FIFTH MEHL, BIBHAAS: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: The Lord created the mind, and fashioned the entire body. From the five elements, He formed it, and infused His Light within it. He made the earth its bed, and water for it to use. Do not forget Him for an instant; serve the Lord of the World. ||1|| O mind, serve the True Guru, and obtain the supreme status. If you remain unattached and unaffected by sorrow and joy, then you shall find the Lord of Life. ||1|| Pause|| He makes all the various pleasures, clothes and foods for you to enjoy. He made your mother, father and all relatives. He provides sustenance to all, in the water and on the land, O friend. So serve the Lord, forever and ever. ||2|| He shall be your Helper and Support there, where no one else can help you. He washes away the residues of millions of sins in an instant. He bestows His Gifts, and never regrets them. He forgives, once and for all, and never asks for one’s account again. ||3|| By pre-ordained destiny, I have searched and found God. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Lord of the World abides. Meeting with the Guru, I have come to Your Door. O Lord, please bless servant Nanak with the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||4||1||

PRABHAATEE, FIFTH MEHL

Guru Arjan Dev · shabad

PRABHAATEE, FIFTH MEHL: Serving God, His humble servant is glorified. Unfulfilled sexual desire, unresolved anger and unsatisfied greed are eradicated. Your Name is the treasure of Your humble servant. Singing His Praises, I am in love with the Blessed Vision of God’s Darshan. ||1|| You are known, O God, by Your devotees. Breaking their bonds, You emancipate them. ||1|| Pause|| Those humble beings who are imbued with God’s Love find peace in God’s Congregation. They alone understand this, to whom this subtle essence comes. Beholding it, and gazing upon it, in their minds they are wonderstruck. ||2|| They are at peace, the most exalted of all, within whose hearts God dwells. They are stable and unchanging; they do not come and go in reincarnation. Night and day, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord God. ||3|| All bow down in humble respect to those whose minds are filled with the Formless Lord. Show mercy unto me, O my Divine Lord and Master. May Nanak be saved, by serving these humble beings. ||4||2||

Guru Arjan Dev · shabad

PRABHAATEE, FIFTH MEHL: Singing His Glorious Praises, the mind is in ecstasy. Twenty-four hours a day, I meditate in remembrance on God. Remembering Him in meditation, the residues of sin go away. I fall at the Feet of that Guru. ||1|| O beloved Saints, please bless me with wisdom; let me meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and be emancipated. ||1|| Pause|| The Guru has shown me the straight path; I have abandoned everything else. I am enraptured with the Name of the Lord. I am forever a sacrifice to that Guru; I meditate in remembrance on the Lord, through the Guru. ||2|| The Guru carries those mortal beings across, and saves them from drowning. By His Grace, they are not enticed by Maya; in this world and the next, they are embellished and exalted by the Guru. I am forever a sacrifice to that Guru. ||3|| From the most ignorant, I have been made spiritually wise, through the Unspoken Speech of the Perfect Guru. The Divine Guru, O Nanak, is the Supreme Lord God. By great good fortune, I serve the Lord. ||4||3||

Guru Arjan Dev · shabad

PRABHAATEE, FIFTH MEHL: Eradicating all my pains, He has blessed me with peace, and inspired me to chant His Name. In His Mercy, He has enjoined me to His service, and has purged me of all my sins. ||1|| I am only a child; I seek the Sanctuary of God the Merciful. Erasing my demerits and faults, God has made me His Own. My Guru, the Lord of the World, protects me. ||1|| Pause|| My sicknesses and sins were erased in an instant, when the Lord of the World became merciful. With each and very breath, I worship and adore the Supreme Lord God; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. ||2|| My Lord and Master is Inaccessible, Unfathomable and Infinite. His limits cannot be found. We earn the profit, and become wealthy, meditating on our God. ||3|| Twenty-four hours a day, I meditate on the Supreme Lord God; I sing His Glorious Praises forever and ever. Says Nanak, my desires have been fulfilled; I have found my Guru, the Supreme Lord God. ||4||4||
