SGGS Angg 547.
Raag Bihagara (Bihagda) M.5.
This Shantt has 4 padas. This is the 1st pada. The entire Shantt is an ardas in Praise of God by a Sikh, pleading for God’s Mercy and Protection.
“Ardas Nanak sun Suami rakh leho Ghar ke cheray”, is the last line of the 1st pada.
O Lord and Master hear Nanak’s Prayer; please save this servant of Your Household.
The Shantt starts with a plea to God. Please listen to my prayer; filled with millions of sins, I still remain Your slave.
“Sunho benantiya Suami mere Ram; kot apradh bhare bhi tere cheray Ram”
O Fascinating Lord You are Destroyer of pain sorrow and strife, Bestower of Mercy; I have come to Your Sanctuary; please preserve my honor O Immaculate All Pervading Lord.
“Dukh haran kirpa karan kal kaleshe bhanjna; Sharan Teri rakh levho meri Sarab mai Nirunjna”
He hears and beholds all; God is with us, the nearest of the near.
“Sunat pekhat sang sabh kai prabh nerhu te nere
