Mere Ram Rai
Jis ke sirr upar tu swami
Shabad (Ang 749-750 of SGGS) : mere ram rai
tu santa ka sant tere |
(O my Sovereign Lord,
You belong to the Saints, and the Saints belong to You.)
tere sevak ko bhau kich nahi
jam nahi ave nerhe ||
(Your servant is not afraid of anything;
the Messenger of Death cannot even approach him.)
jis ke sir upar tu suami
so dukh kaisa pavai |
(Lord, When You stand over our heads (when we are in your sanctuary),
O Lord and Master, how can we suffer in pain?)
bol na jane maeya mad mata
marna chitt na aavai ||
(The mortal being does not know how to chant Your Name - he is intoxicated with the wine of Maya (the illusions of this world),
and the thought of death does not even enter his mind.)
jo terai rang raate suami
tinh ka janam maran dukh nasa |
(Those who are attuned to Your Love, O my Lord and Master,
they are released from the pains of birth and death.)
teri bakhas na metai koi
satgur ka dilasa ||
(No one can erase Your Blessings;
the True Guru has given me this assurance.)
naam dhiain sukh fal payan
aath pahar aradheh |
(Those who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, obtain the fruits of peace.
Twenty-four hours a day, they worship and adore You.)
teri saran terai bharvasai
panch dusat lai sadheh ||
(In Your Sanctuary, with Your Support,
they subdue the five villains. {the five vices - kama (lust), krodh (wrath), lobh (greed), moh (attachment) and ahankar (ego or excessive pride)} )
gian dhian kichh karam na jana
saar na jana teri |
(I know nothing about wisdom, meditation and good deeds;
I know nothing about Your excellence.)
sabh te vada satgur nanak
jin kal rakhi meri ||
(Guru Nanak is the greatest of all;
He saved my honor in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.)
