Jaitsree, Ninth Mehl:

har joo raakh laehu path maeree ||

O Dear Lord, please, save my honor!

jam ko thraas bhaeiou our a(n)thar saran gehee kirapaa nidhh thaeree ||1|| rehaao ||

The fear of death has entered my heart; I cling to the Protection of Your Sanctuary, O Lord, ocean of mercy. ||1||Pause||

mehaa pathith mugadhh lobhee fun karath paap ab haaraa ||

I am a great sinner, foolish and greedy; but now, at last, I have grown weary of committing sins.

bhai marabae ko bisarath naahin thih chi(n)thaa than jaaraa ||1||

I cannot forget the fear of dying; this anxiety is consuming my body. ||1||

keeeae oupaav mukath kae kaaran dheh dhis ko out(h) dhhaaeiaa ||

I have been trying to liberate myself, running around in the ten directions.

ghatt hee bheethar basai nira(n)jan thaa ko maram n paaeiaa ||2||

The pure, immaculate Lord abides deep within my heart, but I do not understand the secret of His mystery. ||2||

naahin gun naahin kashh jap thap koun karam ab keejai ||

I have no merit, and I know nothing about meditation or austerities; what should I do now?

naanak haar pariou saranaagath abhai dhaan prabh dheejai ||3||2||

O Nanak, I am exhausted; I seek the shelter of Your Sanctuary; O God, please bless me with the gift of fearlessness. ||3||2||
