ੴ

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

You, God, are the Giver of gifts, the Lord of perfect understanding; I am a mere beggar at Your Door.

What should I beg for? Nothing remains permanent; O Lord, please, bless me with Your Beloved Name. ||1||

In each and every heart, the Lord, the Lord of the forest, is permeating and pervading.

In the water, on the land, and in the sky, He is pervading but hidden; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is revealed. ||Pause||

In this world, in the nether regions of the underworld, and in the Akaashic Ethers, the Guru, the True Guru, has shown me the Lord; He has showered me with His Mercy.

He is the unborn Lord God; He is, and shall ever be. Deep within your heart, behold Him, the Destroyer of ego. ||2||

This wretched world is caught in birth and death; in the love of duality, it has forgotten devotional worship of the Lord.

Meeting the True Guru, the Guru's Teachings are obtained; the faithless cynic loses the game of life. ||3||

Breaking my bonds, the True Guru has set me free, and I shall not be cast into the womb of reincarnation again.

O Nanak, the jewel of spiritual wisdom shines forth, and the Lord, the Formless Lord, dwells within my mind. ||4||8||
