The shabads convey a deep message of truth and are sung with heartfelt devotion. They express the intense longing of the soul for union with the Lord. These songs of devotion are prayers that inspire the true seeker to turn inwards to contact the ultimate Truth - the inner divine music that reverberates within every being.
English Translation:
We are defiled, O Lord, and you purify us;
we are meritless and you are the bestower of merit.
We are ignorant; you are wise and enlightened,
a master of all skills.
We are what we are, O Lord,
and you are what you are.
We are sinners and you are the destroyer of sin;
O Lord, beautiful is your abode.
Having created all, you have blessed everyone
with life, body and breath.
We are meritless and without any qualities -
bless us with the boon of merits, O merciful Lord.
You do us good but we fail to recognize it,
yet you are forever and ever merciful.
You are the bestower of peace, O Creator -
please save us, your children.
You are the eternal king, our treasure,
and all living beings beg you for your grace.
Says Nanak: such is our condition, O Lord -
help us follow in the footsteps of Saints.
This shabad is published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
