1Those who are imbued with Truth - their tongues are tinged with Truth; they do not have even an iota of the filth of falsehood.

2They taste the sweet Ambrosial Nectar of the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord; imbued with the Shabad, they are blessed with honor. ||3||

3The virtuous meet with the virtuous, and earn the profit; as Gurmukh, they obtain the glorious greatness of the Naam.

4All sorrows are erased, by serving the Guru; O Nanak, the Naam is our only Friend and Companion. ||4||5||6||

5Bhairao, First Mehla:

6The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the wealth and support of all; It is enshrined in the heart, by Guru's Grace.

7One who gathers this imperishable wealth is fulfilled, and through intuitive meditation, is lovingly focused on the Lord. ||1||

8O mortal, focus your consciousness on devotional worship of the Lord.

9As Gurmukh, meditate on the Name of the Lord in your heart, and you shall return to your home with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||

10Doubt, separation and fear are never eradicated, and the mortal continues coming and going in reincarnation, as long as he does not know the Lord.

11Without the Name of the Lord, no one is liberated; they drown and die without water. ||2||

12Busy with his worldly affairs, all honor is lost; the ignorant one is not rid of his doubts.

13Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the mortal is never liberated; he remains blindly entangled in the expanse of worldly affairs. ||3||

14My mind is pleased and appeased with the Immaculate Lord, who has no ancestry. Through the mind itself, the mind is subdued.

15Deep within my being, and outside as well, I know only the One Lord. O Nanak, there is no other at all. ||4||6||7||

16Bhairao, First Mehla:

17You may give feasts, make burnt offerings, donate to charity, perform austere penance and worship, and endure pain and suffering in the body.

18But without the Lord's Name, liberation is not obtained. As Gurmukh, obtain the Naam and liberation. ||1||

19Without the Lord's Name, birth into the world is useless.

20Without the Name, the mortal eats poison and speaks poisonous words; he dies fruitlessly, and wanders in reincarnation. ||1||Pause||

21The mortal may read scriptures, study grammar and say his prayers three times a day.

22Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, where is liberation, O mortal? Without the Lord's Name, the mortal is entangled and dies. ||2||

23Walking sticks, begging bowls, hair tufts, sacred threads, loin cloths, pilgrimages to sacred shrines and wandering all around

24- without the Lord's Name, peace and tranquility are not obtained. One who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, crosses over to the other side. ||3||

25The mortal's hair may be matted and tangled upon his head, and he may smear his body with ashes; he may take off his clothes and go naked.

26But without the Lord's Name, he is not satisfied; he wears religious robes, but he is bound by the karma of the actions he committed in past lives. ||4||

27As many beings and creatures as there are in the water, on the land and in the sky - wherever they are, You are with them all, O Lord.

28By Guru's Grace, please preserve Your humble servant; O Lord, Nanak stirs up this juice, and drinks it in. ||5||7||8||

29Raag Bhairao, Third Mehla, Chau-Padhay, First House:

30One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

31No one should be proud of his social class and status.

32He alone is a Brahmin, who knows God. ||1||

33Do not be proud of your social class and status, you ignorant fool!
