1Meditate in remembrance on the One Universal Creator; the True Lord created the entire Universe.

2The Guru controls the air, water and fire; He has staged the drama of the world.

3Reflect on your own self, and so practice good conduct; chant the Name of the Lord as your self-discipline and meditation.

4The Name of the Lord is your Companion, Friend and Dear Beloved; chant it, and meditate on it. ||2||

5O my mind, remain steady and stable, and you will not have to endure beatings.

6O my mind, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, you shall merge into Him with intuitive ease.

7Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, be happy. Apply the ointment of spiritual wisdom to your eyes.

8The Word of the Shabad is the lamp which illuminates the three worlds; it slaughters the five demons.

9Quieting your fears, become fearless, and you shall cross over the impassible world ocean. Meeting the Guru, your affairs shall be resolved.

10You shall find the joy and the beauty of the Lord's Love and Affection; the Lord Himself shall shower you with His Grace. ||3||

11O my mind, why did you come into the world? What will you take with you when you go?

12O my mind, you shall be emancipated, when you eliminate your doubts.

13So gather the wealth and capital of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, you shall realize its value.

14Filth shall be taken away, through the Immaculate Word of the Shabad; you shall know the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, your true home.

15Through the Naam, you shall obtain honor, and come home. Eagerly drink in the Ambrosial Amrit.

16Meditate on the Lord's Name, and you shall obtain the sublime essence of the Shabad; by great good fortune, chant the Praises of the Lord. ||4||

17O my mind, without a ladder, how will you climb up to the Temple of the Lord?

18O my mind, without a boat, you shall not reach the other shore.

19On that far shore is Your Beloved, Infinite Friend. Only your awareness of the Guru's Shabad will carry you across.

20Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and you shall enjoy ecstasy; you shall not regret or repent later on.

21Be Merciful, O Merciful True Lord God: please give me the Blessing of the Lord's Name, and the Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

22Nanak prays: please hear me, O my Beloved; instruct my mind through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||5||6||

23Tukhaari Chhant, Fourth Mehla:

24One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

25My inner being is filled with love for my Beloved Husband Lord. How can I live without Him?

26As long as I do not have the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, how can I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar?

27How can I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar without the Lord? I cannot survive without Him.

28Night and day, I cry out, ""Pri-o! Pri-o! Beloved! Beloved!"", day and night. Without my Husband Lord, my thirst is not quenched.

29Please, bless me with Your Grace, O my Beloved Lord, that I may dwell on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, forever.

30Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I have met my Beloved; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. ||1||

31When I see my Beloved Husband Lord, I chant the Lord's Glorious Praises with love.
