Guru Granth Sahib 804 · Raag Bilaaval · Guru Arjan Dev Ji

1The mind is engrossed in sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment.

2Breaking my bonds, the Guru has liberated me. ||2||

3Experiencing pain and pleasure, one is born, only to die again.

4The Lotus Feet of the Guru bring peace and shelter. ||3||

5The world is drowning in the ocean of fire.

6O Nanak, holding me by the arm, the True Guru has saved me. ||4||3||8||

7Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

8Body, mind, wealth and everything, I surrender to my Lord.

9What is that wisdom, by which I may come to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har? ||1||

10Nurturing hope, I have come to beg from God.

11Gazing upon You, the courtyard of my heart is embellished. ||1||Pause||

12Trying several methods, I reflect deeply upon the Lord.

13In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, this mind is saved. ||2||

14I have neither intelligence, wisdom, common sense nor cleverness.

15I meet You, only if You lead me to meet You. ||3||

16My eyes are content, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan.

17Says Nanak, such a life is fruitful and rewarding. ||4||4||9||

18Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

19Mother, father, children and the wealth of Maya, will not go along with you.

20In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, all pain is dispelled. ||1||

21God Himself is pervading, and permeating all.

22Chant the Name of the Lord with your tongue, and pain will not afflict you. ||1||Pause||

23One who is afflicted by the terrible fire of thirst and desire,

24becomes cool, chanting the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||

25By millions of efforts, peace is not obtained;

26the mind is satisfied only by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

27Please bless me with devotion, O God, O Searcher of hearts.

28This is Nanak's prayer, O Lord and Master. ||4||5||10||

29Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

30By great good fortune, the Perfect Guru is found.

31Meeting with the Holy Saints, meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||

32O Supreme Lord God, I seek Your Sanctuary.

33Meditating on the Guru's Feet, sinful mistakes are erased. ||1||Pause||

34All other rituals are just worldly affairs;

35joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, one is saved. ||2||

36One may contemplate the Simritees, Shaastras and Vedas,

37but only by chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is one saved and carried across. ||3||

38Have Mercy upon servant Nanak, O God,

39and bless him with the dust of the feet of the Holy, that he may be emancipated. ||4||6||11||

40Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

41I contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad within my heart;

42all my hopes and desires are fulfilled. ||1||

43The faces of the humble Saints are radiant and bright;

44the Lord has mercifully blessed them with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

45Holding them by the hand, He has lifted them up out of the deep, dark pit,

46and their victory is celebrated throughout the world. ||2||

47He elevates and exalts the lowly, and fills the empty.

48They receive the supreme, sublime essence of the Ambrosial Naam. ||3||

49The mind and body are made immaculate and pure, and sins are burnt to ashes.

50Says Nanak, God is pleased with me. ||4||7||12||

51Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

52All desires are fulfilled, O my friend,
