HYMNS FROM GURU GRANTH SAHIB
Ja ko muskal ati baney dhoi koey neh dey
Lagoo hoey dusmana sak bhi bhaj khaley
Sabho bhajey asra chukey sabh asrao
Chit avey us parbrahm lagey neh tati vao –1
Aaye neh jaye thir sada gursabdi sach jaan – 1 – rahau

kripa karey jis parbrahm hovey sadhu sang
jio jio oh vadhaiey teeo teeo har sio rang
duha sirian ka khasam ap avar neh dooja thao
satgur tuthey paiya nanak sacha nao – 9- 1 – 26
When troubles come and no one offers you comfort
When friends turn into foes and kinsmen flee away
When neither any support nor succor is in sight
Turn your thoughts to Him and He will keep you from any harm – 1
Our Lord is the strength of the stricken
That He is for ever, not transient, take that truth from the Guru – 1- pause

–
Those blessed with God’s mercy find the fraternity of the holy
As grows their bond with the saintly immerse they deeper in God’s love
Of here and here after the lord is God, none other is there to go to
Love of True Name, O Nanak, is obtained only by the grace of True Guru –9-1-26
siri rag M V, p. 70-1
Agi pala ki karey suraj kehi rat
Chand anhera ki karey paun pani kya jat
Dharti cheejee ki karey jis vich sabh kichh hoey
Nanak ta pat janiey ja pat rakhey soey
What can frost do to fire or night affects the sun
Darkness means nought to the moon or social status to air or water
Earth does not crave for things for it is the source of all matter
Nanak dignified is only the one whose honor God protects
var majh ki, M II, p.150
eko pavan mati sabh eka sabh eko jot sabaya
sabh ika jot vartey bhin bhin neh ralhi kisey de ralaya
Air all breathe, clay they are made of and light within them is the same
The One Light pervading all is never intermingled, diluted or obscured
majh M IV, p.96
kalau masajni kya sadaiye
hirdey hee likh leho
sada sahib ke rang rahey
kabhoo neh tootas neho
Why ask for quill or the inkpot
Write within your heart
Remain thou immersed forever in the Lord’s love
And your affection never will wither
Sahib nitania ka taan
– siri rag ki var, slok M III, p.84
