Din-Ren ( Day and Night)
It has been composed by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, whose theme is to meditate on Immortal Lord every moment and second of day and night so as to get His mercy and grace. Beginning with Moolmantra : There is but one God, By the True Guru’s favour, He is obtained. I serve my True Guru and on God do I meditate the entire day and night. Forsaking myself conceit I seek Lord’s refuge and with my tongue I utter sweet words. Since many births I am separated from You ,O’God my friend and relative. Now mercifully unite me with Thee. The mortals who are separated from Lord they do not live in peace O’ my sister. Without God, solace is not obtained I have searched and seen in all the spheres My own evil actions have kept me away from Lord, should I accuse others ? Show mercy O’ God and save me. There is no other Bestower of Mercy. Without Thee O’ Lord it is to roll in dust. To whom shall I narrate my distress. Nanak makes supplication to behold angelic power God with his own eyes. He, who is Omnipotent and Infinite Lord God listens to my inner anguish of the soul. In death and life meditate on Him, who is the mainstay of all. In the world to follow and also in this world bride belongs to the Spouse , who has a large family. The Lord is lofty and Inaccessible. His knowledge is unfathomable and there is no limit to one and the other end. That service pleases Him that is rendered by becoming the dust of saints feet. The merciful luminous Lord is the Master and of the poor and Saviour of Sinners. Since at the very outset and beginning of ages, the True name of Creator has been saving the mortals. No one knows Master’s worth nor is there any weigher of Him. He, who is beyond reckoning is dwelling within mind and body, I am ever a sacrifice unto them who wait and serve their True Lord day and night. Saints remember Him for ever, who is Pardoner of all and the creator of soul and body and has mercifully granted us this very life. Meditate on the Lord and repeat the pure Name as per Guru’s instructions. The worth of the Infinite Exalted Lord can never be described. He in whose heart the pervading God lives is considered as fortunate. By meeting the Lord- The Spouse, the mind’s desires are fulfilled. Nanak lives by remembering God and all his sins are removed. Day and Night, who does not forget Lord that being always remain green. The Lord is brimful with all the skills. He is refuge of me- dishonoured one. Where is my mind I have grasped God’s support and I live by repeating and remembering His name. Shower Your benediction on me, O’Lord that I may merge with the dust of Your slave’s feet. As You keep, so do I live- wearing an eating what Thou Grant. Provide me with the Enterprise that I may sing thine praises in the company of saints. I cannot think of any other place to go and lodge my complaint. The lofty, unapproachable, and immeasurable Lord is the dispeller of darkness and destroyer of ignorance. Union of the separated soul with You O’God is the sole motive of Nanak It shall be a joyful moment and day when I shall fall at the feet of the Guru.
Thus Din-Ren is the eulogy of the Almighty God, whose traits of being Omnipotent, saviour of Sinner, Protector of the Poor, Infinite, Fathomless, Boundless have been described. Also the union of soul with God is considered as the most fortunate moment and time in the life of an individual soul through the Guru and the Holy Saints, who are ever in service of the Almighty Omnipotent Lord.
