O my Lord and Master
Listen to my heartfelt prayer,
O my Lord and Master.
I am filled with millions of sins,
But still, I am Your trustworthy slave…!
O’ Destroyer of pain, Bestower of mercy,
My Dear Fascinating Lord,
Destroyer of sorrow and strife,
I have come to Your Sanctuary;
Please preserve my honor and repute…!
You are within all, You are with all,
Of Course always, O’ Immaculate Lord.
God hears and beholds all….,
He is with us, the nearest of the near.
O Lord and Master, hear Nanak’s prayer…!
Please save the servants of Your household,
You are eternal and all-powerful;
I am a mere beggar, O’ Lord The Mighty One,
I am intoxicated with emotional attachment to Maya —
Save me, and Free Me of its deadly clutches,
O’ my dear Lord…!
I am bound with greed, emotional attachment,
Ambitious Desire and corruption,
I have made all sorts of worst blunders.
The creator is detached, and free of entanglement;
One obtains the fruits of his own actions…!
Be kind to me, and Forgive Me,
O Purifier of sinners;
I am so tired of wandering through reincarnation.
Prays Nanak, I am the slave of the Lord;
God is the Support of my soul,
You are the Guardian of my entity,
And Linked to each breath of my life…!
You are great and all-powerful;
My understanding is shallow, O Lord.
You cherish even those who are ungrateful;
Your Glance of Grace is perfect, O’ Lord.
Your wisdom is unfathomable,
O’ Infinite fathomless great Creator…!
I am lowly — I know nothing at all.
Rejecting the jewel, I am left with the shell;
I am a humble and insignificant,
I am a malicious and ignorant beast….!
I have gathered that tempting and fickle wealth,
Which will decay and forsake me!
I have committed sins, over and over again.
Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary,
Almighty Lord and Master;
Please, preserve my honor…!
I was separated from Him, and now,
He has united me with Himself.
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy,
I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord….!
Singing the Praises of the Lord of the Universe,
Who is forever benevolent, sublime and caring,
The blissful and compassionate Lord has revealed to me…!
My bed is adorned with blessings of God;
My God has made me His own.
Abandoning anxiety, I have become carefree,
And I shall not suffer in pain any more…!
Nanak lives by gazing upon
The Blessed Vision of His magnificent Darshan,
Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of Universe,
Who is Omnipresent, omnipotent and supreme,
An Ocean of excellence, bounteousness and generosity…!!!
