1My inner being blossoms forth; I continually utter, ""Pri-o! Pri-o! Beloved! Beloved!""

2I speak of my Dear Beloved, and through the Shabad, I am saved. Unless I can see Him, I am not satisfied.

3That soul-bride who is ever adorned with the Shabad, meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

4Please bless this beggar, Your humble servant, with the Gift of Mercy; please unite me with my Beloved.

5Night and day, I meditate on the Guru, the Lord of the World; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. ||2||

6I am a stone in the Boat of the Guru. Please carry me across the terrifying ocean of poison.

7O Guru, please, lovingly bless me with the Word of the Shabad. I am such a fool - please save me!

8I am a fool and an idiot; I know nothing of Your extent. You are known as Inaccessible and Great.

9You Yourself are Merciful; please, mercifully bless me. I am unworthy and dishonored - please, unite me with Yourself!

10Through countless lifetimes, I wandered in sin; now, I have come seeking Your Sanctuary.

11Take pity on me and save me, Dear Lord; I have grasped the Feet of the True Guru. ||3||

12The Guru is the Philosopher's Stone; by His touch, iron is transformed into gold.

13My light merges into the Light, and my body-fortress is so beautiful.

14My body-fortress is so beautiful; I am fascinated by my God. How could I forget Him, for even a breath, or a morsel of food?

15I have seized the Unseen and Unfathomable Lord, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. I am a sacrifice to the True Guru.

16I place my head in offering before the True Guru, if it truly pleases the True Guru.

17Take pity on me, O God, Great Giver, that Nanak may merge in Your Being. ||4||1||

18Tukhaari, Fourth Mehla:

19The Lord, Har, Har, is Inaccessible, Unfathomable, Infinite, the Farthest of the Far.

20Those who meditate on You, O Lord of the Universe - those humble beings cross over the terrifying, treacherous world-ocean.

21Those who meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, easily cross over the terrifying, treacherous world-ocean.

22Those who lovingly walk in harmony with the Word of the Guru, the True Guru - the Lord, Har, Har, unites them with Himself.

23The mortal's light meets the Light of God, and blends with that Divine Light when the Lord, the Support of the Earth, grants His Grace.

24The Lord, Har, Har, is Inaccessible, Unfathomable, Infinite, the Farthest of the Far. ||1||

25O my Lord and Master, You are Inaccessible and Unfathomable. You are totally pervading and permeating each and every heart.

26You are Unseen, Unknowable and Unfathomable; You are found through the Word of the Guru, the True Guru.

27Blessed, blessed are those humble, powerful and perfect people, who join the Guru's Sangat, the Society of the Saints, and chant His Glorious Praises.

28With clear and precise understanding, the Gurmukhs contemplate the Guru's Shabad; each and every instant, they continually speak of the Lord.

29When the Gurmukh sits down, he chants the Lord's Name. When the Gurmukh stands up, he chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har.

30O my Lord and Master, You are Inaccessible and Unfathomable. You are totally pervading and permeating each and every heart. ||2||

31Those humble servants who serve are accepted. They serve the Lord, and follow the Guru's Teachings.

32All their millions of sins are taken away in an instant; the Lord takes them far away.

33All their sin and blame is washed away. They worship and adore the One Lord with their conscious minds.
