1O Nanak, killing his ego, he is satisfied; the meteor has shot across the sky. ||1||

2The Gurmukhs remain awake and aware; their egotistical pride is eradicated.

3Night and day, it is dawn for them; they merge in the True Lord.

4The Gurmukhs are merged in the True Lord; they are pleasing to His Mind. The Gurmukhs are intact, safe and sound, awake and awake.

5The Guru blesses them with the Ambrosial Nectar of the True Name; they are lovingly attuned to the Lord's Feet.

6The Divine Light is revealed, and in that Light, they achieve realization; the self-willed manmukhs wander in doubt and confusion.

7O Nanak, when the dawn breaks, their minds are satisfied; they pass their life-night awake and aware. ||2||

8Forgetting faults and demerits, virtue and merit enter one's home.

9The One Lord is permeating everywhere; there is no other at all.

10He is All-pervading; there is no other. The mind comes to believe, from the mind.

11The One who established the water, the land, the three worlds, each and every heart - that God is known by the Gurmukh.

12The Infinite, All-powerful Lord is the Creator, the Cause of causes; erasing the three-phased Maya, we merge in Him.

13O Nanak, then, demerits are dissolved by merits; such are the Guru's Teachings. ||3||

14My coming and going in reincarnation have ended; doubt and hesitation are gone.

15Conquering my ego, I have met the True Lord, and now I wear the robe of Truth.

16The Guru has rid me of egotism; my sorrow and suffering are dispelled.

17My light merges into the Light; I realize and understand my own self.

18In this world of my parents' home, I am satisfied with the Shabad; at my in-laws' home, in the world beyond, I shall be pleasing to my Husband Lord.

19O Nanak, the True Guru has united me in His Union; my dependence on people has ended. ||4||3||

20Tukhaari, First Mehla:

21Deluded by doubt, misled and confused, the soul-bride later regrets and repents.

22Abandoning her Husband Lord, she sleeps, and does not appreciate His Worth.

23Leaving her Husband Lord, she sleeps, and is plundered by her faults and demerits. The night is so painful for this bride.

24Sexual desire, anger and egotism destroy her. She burns in egotism.

25When the soul-swan flies away, by the Command of the Lord, her dust mingles with dust.

26O Nanak, without the True Name, she is confused and deluded, and so she regrets and repents. ||1||

27Please listen, O my Beloved Husband Lord, to my one prayer.

28You dwell in the home of the self deep within, while I roll around like a dust-ball.

29Without my Husband Lord, no one likes me at all; what can I say or do now?

30The Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the sweetest nectar of nectars. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, with my tongue, I drink in this nectar.

31Without the Name, no one has any friend or companion; millions come and go in reincarnation.

32Nanak: the profit is earned and the soul returns home. True, true are Your Teachings. ||2||

33O Friend, You have travelled so far from Your homeland; I send my message of love to You.

34I cherish and remember that Friend; the eyes of this soul-bride are filled with tears.

35The eyes of the soul-bride are filled with tears; I dwell upon Your Glorious Virtues. How can I meet my Beloved Lord God?

36I do not know the treacherous path, the way to You. How can I find You and cross over, O my Husband Lord?

37Through the Shabad, the Word of the True Guru, the separated soul-bride meets with the Lord; I place my body and mind before You.

38O Nanak, the ambrosial tree bears the most delicious fruits; meeting with my Beloved, I taste the sweet essence. ||3||

39The Lord has called you to the Mansion of His Presence - do not delay!
