S ELF-EXISTENT. B Y G URU’S G RACE: My soul is afraid; to whom should I complain? I serve Him, who makes me forget my pains; He is the Giver, forever and ever. ॥1॥ My Lord and Master is forever new; He is the Giver, forever and ever. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Night and day, I serve my Lord and Master; He shall save me in the end. Hearing and listening, O my dear sister, I have crossed over. ॥2॥ O Merciful Lord, Your Name carries me across. I am forever a sacrifice to You. ॥1॥ Pause॥ In all the world, there is only the One True Lord; there is no other at all. He alone serves the Lord, upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. ॥3॥ Without You, O Beloved, how could I even live? Bless me with such greatness, that I may remain attached to Your Name. There is no other, O Beloved, to whom I can go and speak. ॥1॥ Pause॥ I serve my Lord and Master; I ask for no other. Nanak is His slave; moment by moment, bit by bit, he is a sacrifice to Him. ॥4॥ O Lord Master, I am a sacrifice to Your Name, moment by moment, bit by bit. ॥1॥ Pause॥4॥1॥ DHANAASAREE, FIRST MEHL: We are human beings of the briefest moment; we do not know the appointed time of our departure. Prays Nanak, serve the One, to whom our soul and breath of life belong. ॥1॥ You are blind — see and consider, how many days your life shall last. ॥1॥ Pause॥ My breath, my flesh and my soul are all Yours, Lord; You are so very dear to me. Nanak, the poet, says this, O True Lord Cherisher. ॥2॥ If you gave nothing, O my Lord and Master, what could anyone pledge to You? Nanak prays, we receive that which we are pre-destined to receive. ॥3॥ The deceitful person does not remember the Lord’s Name; he practices only deceit. When he is marched in chains to Death’s door, then, he regrets his actions. ॥4॥
