370 : 1049
Keep me under Your Protection, O Beloved Master of the Universe; fulfill my faith, O Lord of the World.

370 : 1050
Servant Nanak's mind is filled with bliss, when he beholds the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, even for an instant. ||2||39||13||15||67||

370 : 1051
Raag Aasaa, Second House, Fifth Mehl:

370 : 1052
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

370 : 1053
One who loves her, is ultimately devoured.

370 : 1054
One who seats her in comfort, is totally terrified by her.

370 : 1055
Siblings, friends and family, beholding her, argue.

370 : 1056
But she has come under my control, by Guru's Grace. ||1||

370 : 1057
Beholding her, all are bewitched:

370 : 1058
the strivers, the Siddhas, the demi-gods, angels and mortals. All, except the Saadhus, are deceived by her deception. ||1||Pause||

370 : 1059
Some wander around as renunciates, but they are engrossed in sexual desire.

370 : 1060
Some grow rich as householders, but she does not belong to them.

370 : 1061
Some call themselves men of charity, and she torments them terribly.

370 : 1062
The Lord has saved me, by attaching me to the Feet of the True Guru. ||2||

370 : 1063
She leads astray the penitents who practice penance.

370 : 1064
The scholarly Pandits are all seduced by greed.

370 : 1065
The world of the three qualities is enticed, and the heavens are enticed.

370 : 1066
The True Guru has saved me, by giving me His Hand. ||3||

370 : 1067
She is the slave of those who are spiritually wise.

370 : 1068
With her palms pressed together, she serves them and offers her prayer:

370 : 1069
"Whatever you wish, that is what I shall do."

370 : 1070
O servant Nanak, she does not draw near to the Gurmukh. ||4||1||

370 : 1071
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

370 : 1072
I have been separated from my Beloved by Maya (my mother-in-law).

370 : 1073
Hope and desire (my younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law) are dying of grief.

370 : 1074
I am no longer swayed by the fear of Death (my elder brother-in-law).

370 : 1075
I am protected by my All-knowing, Wise Husband Lord. ||1||

370 : 1076
Listen, O people: I have tasted the elixir of love.

370 : 1077
The evil ones are dead, and my enemies are destroyed. The True Guru has given me the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

370 : 1078
First, I renounced my egotistical love of myself.

370 : 1079
Second, I renounced the ways of the world.

370 : 1080
Renouncing the three qualities, I look alike upon friend and enemy.

370 : 1081
And then, the fourth state of bliss was revealed to me by the Holy One. ||2||

370 : 1082
In the cave of celestial bliss, I have obtained a seat.

370 : 1083
The Lord of Light plays the unstruck melody of bliss.

370 : 1084
I am in ecstasy, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

370 : 1085
Imbued with my Beloved Husband Lord, I am the blessed, happy soul-bride. ||3||

370 : 1086
Servant Nanak chants the wisdom of God;

370 : 1087
one who listens and practices it, is carried across and saved.

370 : 1088
He is not born, and he does not die; he does not come or go.

370 : 1089
He remains blended with the Lord. ||4||2||

370 : 1090
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

370 : 1091
The bride shows such special devotion, and has such an agreeable disposition.

370 : 1092
Her beauty is incomparable, and her character is perfect.

370 : 1093
The house in which she dwells is such a praiseworthy house.

370 : 1094
But rare are those who, as Gurmukh, attain that state||1||

370 : 1095
As the soul-bride of pure actions, I have met with the Guru.
