SGGS Angg 542

Raag Bihagara (Bihagda) M.5.

This Shantt has 4 padas. This is the 1st pada. It is a plea by the jeev isteri for union. She sings His Praises and hopes she will be blessed with Darshan.

She expresses her love for God. He is dear to me, fascinates my mind, he is the Ornament of my heart, the Support of my very breath of life.

“Att Pritam man mohna ghat sohna pran adhara Ram”

The Glory of my Beloved Merciful Lord of the Universe is beautiful. He is Infinite and Boundless.

“Sundar sobha Lall Gopal Dyal ki Apar Apaara Ram”

O Compassionate Sustainer of the world, Beloved Lord of the Universe, please meet me Your humbled soul bride.

“Gopal Dyal Gobind Lallan milho Kant nimaniya”

My eyes long for Your Blessed Darshan my nights pass by without sleep.

“Nain tarsan daras parsan neh neend rein vihaniya”

Naam is my food and the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom which I have applied to my eyes. I feel fully decorated.

“Gyan anjan Naam binjan bheye sagal shingara”.

Nanak prays lets recite the Saints (Guru’s Bani) that I may be United with my Husband Lord.

“Nanak bheyampeh Sant jampey melh Kant hamara”
