1Raag Bhairao, First Mehla, First House, Chau-Padhay:

2One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

3Without You, nothing happens.

4You create the creatures, and gazing on them, you know them. ||1||

5What can I say? I cannot say anything.

6Whatever exists, is by Your Will. ||Pause||

7Whatever is to be done, rests with You.

8Unto whom should I offer my prayer? ||2||

9I speak and hear the Bani of Your Word.

10You Yourself know all Your Wondrous Play. ||3||

11You Yourself act, and inspire all to act; only You Yourself know.

12Says Nanak, You, Lord, see, establish and disestablish. ||4||1||

13One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

14Raag Bhairao, First Mehla, Second House:

15Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, so many silent sages have been saved; Indra and Brahma have also been saved.

16Sanak, Sanandan and many humble men of austerity, by Guru's Grace, have been carried across to the other side. ||1||

17Without the Word of the Shabad, how can anyone cross over the terrifying world-ocean?

18Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the world is entangled in the disease of duality, and is drowned, drowned, and dies. ||1||Pause||

19The Guru is Divine; the Guru is Inscrutable and Mysterious. Serving the Guru, the three worlds are known and understood.

20The Guru, the Giver, has Himself given me the Gift; I have obtained the Inscrutable, Mysterious Lord. ||2||

21The mind is the king; the mind is appeased and satisfied through the mind itself, and desire is stilled in the mind.

22The mind is the Yogi, the mind wastes away in separation from the Lord; singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the mind is instructed and reformed. ||3||

23How very rare are those in this world who, through the Guru, subdue their minds, and contemplate the Word of the Shabad.

24O Nanak, our Lord and Master is All-pervading; through the True Word of the Shabad, we are emancipated. ||4||1||2||

25Bhairao, First Mehla:

26The eyes lose their sight, and the body withers away; old age overtakes the mortal, and death hangs over his head.

27Beauty, loving attachment and the pleasures of life are not permanent. How can anyone escape from the noose of death? ||1||

28O mortal, meditate on the Lord - your life is passing away!
