-1266I sing of the Lord, and I speak of the Lord; I have discarded all other loves. ||1|| My Beloved is the Enticer of the mind; The Detached Lord God is the Embodiment of Supreme bliss. Nanak lives by gazing upon the Lord; may I see him for a moment, for even just an instant. || 2 || 2 || 9 || 9 || 13 || 9 || 31 |||
RAAG MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL, CHAU-PADAS, FIRST HOUSE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: What are you so worried about? What are you thinking? What have you tried? Tell me - the Lord of the Universe - who
controls Him? || 1 || The rain showers down from the clouds, O companion. The Guest has come into my home. I am meek; my Lord and Master is the Ocean of Mercy. I am absorbed in the nine treasures of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. || 1 || Pause 11 I have prepared all sorts of foods in various ways, and all sorts of sweet deserts. I have made my kitchen pure and sacred. Now, O my Sovereign Lord King, please sample my food. || 2 || The villains have been destroyed, and my friends are delighted. This is Your Own Mansion and Temple, O Lord. When my Playful Beloved came into my household, then I found total peace. | 3 || In the Society of the Saints, I have the Support and Protection of the Perfect Guru; this is the preordained destiny inscribed upon my forehead. Servant Nanak has found his Playful Husband Lord. He shall never suffer in sorrow again. || 4 || 1 || MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: When the baby's only food is milk, it cannot survive without its milk. The mother takes care of it, and pours milk into its mouth; then, it is satisfied and fulfilled. || 1 || I am just a baby; God, the Great Giver, is my Father. The child is so foolish; it makes so many mistakes. But it has nowhere else to go. || 1 || Pause II The mind of the poor child is fickle; he touches even snakes and fire. His mother and father hug him close in their embrace, and so he plays in joy and bliss. || 2 || What hunger can the child ever have, O my Lord and Master, when You are his Father? The treasure of the Naam and the nine treasures are in Your celestial household. You fulfill the desires of the mind. Il 3 || My Merciful Father has issued this Command: whatever the child asks for, is put into his mouth. Nanak, the child, longs for the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan. May His Feet always dwell within my heart. || 4 || 2 || MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: I tried everything, and gathered all devices together; I have discarded all my anxieties. I have begun to set all my household affairs right; I have placed my faith in my Lord and Master. || 1 || I listen to the celestial vibrations resonating and resounding. Sunrise has come, and I gaze upon the Face of my Beloved. My household is filled with peace and pleasure. || 1 Il Pause || I focus my mind, and embellish and adorn the place within; then I go out to speak with the Saints.
