Raag Bilaaval - Part 001

795 : 1
One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

795 : 2
Raag Bilaaval, First Mehl, Chau-Padas, First House:

795 : 3
You are the Emperor, and I call You a chief - how does this add to Your greatness?

795 : 4
As You permit me, I praise You, O Lord and Master; I am ignorant, and I cannot chant Your Praises. ||1||

795 : 5
Please bless me with such understanding, that I may sing Your Glorious Praises.

795 : 6
May I dwell in Truth, according to Your Will. ||1||Pause||

795 : 7
Whatever has happened, has all come from You. You are All-knowing.

795 : 8
Your limits cannot be known, O my Lord and Master; I am blind - what wisdom do I have? ||2||

795 : 9
What should I say? While talking, I talk of seeing, but I cannot describe the indescribable.

795 : 10
As it pleases Your Will, I speak; it is just the tiniest bit of Your greatness. ||3||

795 : 11
Among so many dogs, I am an outcast; I bark for my body's belly.

795 : 12
Without devotional worship, O Nanak, even so, still, my Master's Name does not leave me. ||4||1||

795 : 13
Bilaawal, First Mehl:

795 : 14
My mind is the temple, and my body is the simple cloth of the humble seeker; deep within my heart, I bathe at the sacred shrine.

795 : 15
The One Word of the Shabad abides within my mind; I shall not come to be born again. ||1||

Continued...

795 : 16
My mind is pierced through by the Merciful Lord, O my mother!

795 : 17
Who can know the pain of another?

795 : 18
I think of none other than the Lord. ||1||Pause||

795 : 19
O Lord, inaccessible, unfathomable, invisible and infinite: please, take care of me!

795 : 20
In the water, on the land and in sky, You are totally pervading. Your Light is in each and every heart. ||2||

795 : 21
All teachings, instructions and understandings are Yours; the mansions and sanctuaries are Yours as well.

795 : 22
Without You, I know no other, O my Lord and Master; I continually sing Your Glorious Praises. ||3||

795 : 23
All beings and creatures seek the Protection of Your Sanctuary; all thought of their care rests with You.

795 : 24
That which pleases Your Will is good; this alone is Nanak's prayer. ||4||2||

795 : 25
Bilaawal, First Mehl:

795 : 26
He Himself is the Word of the Shabad, and He Himself is the Insignia.

795 : 27
He Himself is the Listener, and He Himself is the Knower.

795 : 28
He Himself created the creation, and He Himself beholds His almighty power.

795 : 29
You are the Great Giver; Your Name alone is approved. ||1||
