1136 BHAIRAO, FIFTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Setting aside all other days, it is said that the Lord was born on the eighth lunar day. ॥1॥ Deluded and confused by doubt, the mortal practices falsehood. The Lord is beyond birth and death. ॥1॥ Pause॥ You prepare sweet treats and feed them to your stone god. God is not born, and He does not die, you foolish, faithless cynic! ॥2॥ You sing lullabyes to your stone god — this is the source of all your mistakes. Let that mouth be burnt, which says that our Lord and Master is subject to birth. ॥3॥ He is not born, and He does not die; He does not come and go in reincarnation. The God of Nanak is pervading and permeating everywhere. ॥4॥1॥ BHAIRAO, FIFTH MEHL: Standing up, I am at peace; sitting down, I am at peace. I feel no fear, because this is what I understand. ॥1॥ The One Lord, my Lord and Master, is my Protector. He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of Hearts. ॥1॥ Pause॥ I sleep without worry, and I awake without worry. You, O God, are pervading everywhere. ॥2॥ I dwell in peace in my home, and I am at peace outside. Says Nanak, the Guru has implanted His Mantra within me. ॥3॥2॥ BHAIRAO, FIFTH MEHL: I do not keep fasts, nor do I observe the month of Ramadaan. I serve only the One, who will protect me in the end. ॥1॥ The One Lord, the Lord of the World, is my God Allah. He adminsters justice to both Hindus and Muslims. ॥1॥ Pause॥ I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca, nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines. I serve the One Lord, and not any other. ॥2॥ I do not perform Hindu worship services, nor do I offer the Muslim prayers. I have taken the One Formless Lord into my heart; I humbly worship Him there. ॥3॥ I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim. My body and breath of life belong to Allah — to Raam — the God of both. ॥4॥ Says Kabeer, this is what I say: meeting with the Guru, my Spiritual Teacher, I realize God, my Lord and Master. ॥5॥3॥ BHAIRAO, FIFTH MEHL: I easily tied up the deer — the ten sensory organs. I shot five of the desires with the Word of the Lord’s Bani. ॥1॥ I go out hunting with the Saints, and we capture the deer without horses or weapons. ॥1॥ Pause॥ My mind used to run around outside hunting. But now, I have found the game within the home of my body-village. ॥2॥ I caught the deer and brought them home. Dividing them up, I shared them, bit by bit. ॥3॥ God has given this gift. Nanak’s home is filled with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ॥4॥4॥ BHAIRAO, FIFTH MEHL: Even though he may be fed with hundreds of longings and yearnings, still the faithless cynic does not remember the Lord, Har, Har. ॥1॥ Take in the teachings of the humble Saints. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall obtain the supreme status. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Stones may be kept under water for a long time.
