Guru Nanak, Rāg Asa

Man hath obtained a dwelling in that tank whose water God hath made as hot as fire. Man's feet cannot move in the mire of worldly love; we have seen him drowning therein. O foolish man, thou hast not thought of the one God in thy heart; Through forgetfulness of Him thy virtues have melted away. I am not continent, or true, or learned; I was born a stupid fool. Nanak representeth, he hath sought the shelter of those who forget Thee not, O God.

Guru Arjan, Rāg Asa

Since thou hast now obtained a human body O man, It is time for thee to meet God; All else that thou doest is of no avail; Join the company of the saints and only repeat God's name; Apply thyself to preparation for crossing the terrible ocean. Thy life is vainly passing in worldly love; Thou hast not repeated God's name, performed penance, austerities, or other religious works; Thou hast not served holy men or known God. Nanak saith, base have been mine acts; Preserve mine honour who have taken shelter in Thee.

Sohila · Guru Nanak, Rāg Gauri

In the house in which God's praise is sung and He is meditated on, Sing the Sohila and remember the Creator. Sing the Sohila of my Fearless Lord; I am a sacrifice to that song of joy by which everlasting comfort is obtained. Ever and ever living things are watched over; the Giver regardeth their wants. When even Thy gifts cannot be appraised, who can appraise the Giver? The year and the auspicious time for marriage are recorded; relations meet and pour oil on me the bride. O my friends, pray for me that I may meet my Lord. This message is ever sent to every house: such invitations are ever issued. Remember the Caller; Nanak, the day is approaching.

Guru Nanak, Rāg Asa

There are six schools of philosophy, six teachers, and six doctrines. The Guru of gurus is but one, though He hath various forms. O father, preserve the system In which the Creator is praised; that will redound to thy glory. As there is one sun and many seasons, In which there are wisas, chasas, gharis, pahars, lunar and week days, and months; So, O Nanak, there is but one God, although His forms are many.
