Guru Granth Sahib 191 · Raag Gauree · Guru Arjan Dev Ji

1The Word of the Guru's Shabad quiets worries and troubles.

2Coming and going ceases, and all comforts are obtained. ||1||

3Fear is dispelled, meditating on the Fearless Lord.

4In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

5I have enshrined the Lotus Feet of the Lord within my heart.

6The Guru has carried me across the ocean of fire. ||2||

7I was sinking down, and the Perfect Guru pulled me out.

8I was cut off from the Lord for countless incarnations, and now the Guru united me with Him again. ||3||

9Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru;

10meeting Him, I have been saved. ||4||56||125||

11Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

12In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, seek His Sanctuary.

13Place your mind and body in offering before Him. ||1||

14Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Name, O my Siblings of Destiny.

15Meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Lord, the fire of desire is totally quenched. ||1||Pause||

16Renounce your arrogant pride, and end the cycle of birth and death.

17Bow in humility to the feet of the Lord's slave. ||2||

18Remember God in your mind, with each and every breath.

19Gather only that wealth, which shall go with you. ||3||

20He alone obtains it, upon whose forehead such destiny is written.

21Says Nanak, fall at the Feet of that Lord. ||4||57||126||

22Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

23The dried branches are made green again in an instant.

24His Ambrosial Glance irrigates and revives them. ||1||

25The Perfect Divine Guru has removed my sorrow.

26He blesses His servant with His service. ||1||Pause||

27Anxiety is removed, and the desires of the mind are fulfilled,

28when the True Guru, the Treasure of Excellence, shows His Kindness. ||2||

29Pain is driven far away, and peace comes in its place;

30there is no delay, when the Guru gives the Order. ||3||

31Desires are fulfilled, when one meets the True Guru;

32O Nanak, His humble servant is fruitful and prosperous. ||4||58||127||

33Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

34The fever has departed; God has showered us with peace and tranquility.

35A cooling peace prevails; God has granted this gift. ||1||

36By God's Grace, we have become comfortable.

37Separated from Him for countless incarnations, we are now reunited with Him. ||1||Pause||

38Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God's Name,

39the dwelling of all disease is destroyed. ||2||

40In intuitive peace and poise, chant the Word of the Lord's Bani.

41Twenty-four hours a day, O mortal, meditate on God. ||3||

42Pain, suffering and the Messenger of Death do not even approach that one,

43says Nanak, who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||59||128||

44Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

45Auspicious is the day, and auspicious is the chance,

46which brought me to the Supreme Lord God, the Unjoined, Unlimited One. ||1||

47I am a sacrifice to that time,

48when my mind chants the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

49Blessed is that moment, and blessed is that time,

50when my tongue chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Haree. ||2||

51Blessed is that forehead, which bows in humility to the Saints.

52Sacred are those feet, which walk on the Lord's Path. ||3||

53Says Nanak, auspicious is my karma,

54which has led me to touch the Feet of the Holy. ||4||60||129||
