1Aasaavaree, Fifth Mehla, Third House:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3My mind is in love with the Lord.

4In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I meditate on the Lord, Har, Har; my lifestyle is pure and true. ||1||Pause||

5I have such a great thirst for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; I think of him in so many ways.

6So be Merciful, O Supreme Lord; shower Your Mercy upon me, O Lord, Destroyer of pride. ||1||

7My stranger soul has come to join the Saadh Sangat.

8That commodity, which I longed for, I have found in the Love of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

9There are so many pleasures and delights of Maya, but they pass away in an instant.

10Your devotees are imbued with Your Name; they enjoy peace everywhere. ||3||

11The entire world is seen to be passing away; only the Lord's Name is lasting and stable.

12So make friends with the Holy Saints, so that you may obtain a lasting place of rest. ||4||

13Friends, acquaintances, children and relatives - none of these shall be your companion.

14The Lord's Name alone shall go with you; God is the Master of the meek. ||5||

15The Lord's Lotus Feet are the Boat; attached to Them, you shall cross over the world-ocean.

16Meeting with the Perfect True Guru, I embrace True Love for God. ||6||

17The prayer of Your Holy Saints is, ""May I never forget You, for even one breath or morsel of food.""

18Whatever is pleasing to Your Will is good; by Your Sweet Will, my affairs are adjusted. ||7||

19I have met my Beloved, the Ocean of Peace, and Supreme Bliss has welled up within me.

20Says Nanak, all my pains have been eradicated, meeting with God, the Lord of Supreme Bliss. ||8||1||2||

21Aasaa, Fifth Mehla, Birharray ~ Songs Of Separation, To Be Sung In The Tune Of The Chhants. Fourth House:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23Remember the Supreme Lord God, O Beloved, and make yourself a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. ||1||

24Remembering Him, sorrows are forgotten, O Beloved; how can one forsake Him? ||2||

25I would sell this body to the Saint, O Beloved, if he would lead me to my Dear Lord. ||3||

26The pleasures and adornments of corruption are insipid and useless; I have forsaken and abandoned them, O my Mother. ||4||

27Lust, anger and greed left me, O Beloved, when I fell at the Feet of the True Guru. ||5||

28Those humble beings who are imbued with the Lord, O Beloved, do not go anywhere else. ||6||

29Those who have tasted the Lord's sublime essence, O Beloved, remain satisfied and satiated. ||7||

30One who grasps the Hem of the Gown of the Holy Saint, O Nanak, crosses over the terrible world-ocean. ||8||1||3||

31The pains of birth and death are removed, O Beloved, when the mortal meets with the Lord, the King. ||1||

32God is so Beautiful, so Refined, so Wise - He is my very life! Reveal to me Your Darshan! ||2||

33Those beings who are separated from You, O Beloved, are born only to die; they eat the poison of corruption. ||3||

34He alone meets You, whom You cause to meet, O Beloved; I fall at his feet. ||4||

35That happiness which one receives by beholding Your Darshan, O Beloved, cannot be described in words. ||5||

36True Love cannot be broken, O Beloved; throughout the ages, it remains. ||6||
