Raag Assa M.5.

This Shantt has 4 padas. This is the 1st pada.

A Sikh pleads. Please save me from the cycle of births and deaths. I am full of faults. Please bless me with Your Name (Attributes).

Please bless me with holy company, and save me; with my palms pressed together, I pray to be blessed with the Lord’s Name.

“Milho Santan ke sang mohe udhar leho; binho karo kar jorh Har Har Naam deho.”

I beg for Your Name, attach myself to Your Feet (Bani), in Your Mercy, please eradicate my self conceit; entering Your Sanctuary, I shall not wander anywhere else, God, Embodiment of Kindness, please have Mercy upon me.

“Har Naam maango Charan laago maan tyaago tumhe Dya; kathu na dhaavo Sharan paavo Karuna Me Prabh kar Meiya.”

O All Powerful, Unfathomable, Infinite, Immaculate Lord Master, please listen to my prayer; with my palms pressed together (in humble worship), Nanak prays to be saved from the cycle of births and deaths.

“Samrath Akath Apaar Nirmal sunho Suami binho eh; kar jorh Nanak daan maange janam maran nivaar leho.”
