1Through the Naam, glorious greatness is obtained; he alone obtains it, whose mind is filled with the Lord. ||2||

2Meeting the True Guru, the fruitful rewards are obtained. This true lifestyle brings sublime peace.

3Those humble beings who are attached to the Lord are immaculate; they enshrine love for the Lord's Name. ||3||

4If I obtain the dust of their feet, I apply it to my forehead. They meditate on the Perfect True Guru.

5O Nanak, this dust is obtained only by perfect destiny. They focus their consciousness on the Lord's Name. ||4||3||13||

6Bhairao, Third Mehla:

7That humble being who contemplates the Word of the Shabad is true; the True Lord is within his heart.

8If someone performs true devotional worship day and night, then his body will not feel pain. ||1||

9Everyone calls him, ""Devotee, devotee.""

10But without serving the True Guru, devotional worship is not obtained. Only through perfect destiny does one meet God. ||1||Pause||

11The self-willed manmukhs lose their capital, and still, they demand profits. How can they earn any profit?

12The Messenger of Death is always hovering above their heads. In the love of duality, they lose their honor. ||2||

13Trying on all sorts of religious robes, they wander around day and night, but the disease of their egotism is not cured.

14Reading and studying, they argue and debate; attached to Maya, they lose their awareness. ||3||

15Those who serve the True Guru are blessed with the supreme status; through the Naam, they are blessed with glorious greatness.

16O Nanak, those whose minds are filled with the Naam, are honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||4||4||14||

17Bhairao, Third Mehla:

18The self-willed manmukh cannot escape false hope. In the love of duality, he is ruined.

19His belly is like a river - it is never filled up. He is consumed by the fire of desire. ||1||

20Eternally blissful are those who are imbued with the sublime essence of the Lord.

21The Naam, the Name of the Lord, fills their hearts, and duality runs away from their minds. Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord, Har, Har, they are satisfied. ||1||Pause||

22The Supreme Lord God Himself created the Universe; He links each and every person to their tasks.

23He Himself created love and attachment to Maya; He Himself attaches the mortals to duality. ||2||

24If there were any other, then I would speak to him; all will be merged in You.

25The Gurmukh contemplates the essence of spiritual wisdom; his light merges into the Light. ||3||

26God is True, Forever True, and all His Creation is True.

27O Nanak, the True Guru has given me this understanding; the True Name brings emancipation. ||4||5||15||

28Bhairao, Third Mehla:

29In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, those who do not realize the Lord are goblins. In the Golden Age of Sat Yuga, the supreme soul-swans contemplated the Lord.

30In the Silver Age of Dwaapur Yuga, and the Brass Age of Traytaa Yuga, mankind prevailed, but only a rare few subdued their egos. ||1||

31In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, glorious greatness is obtained through the Lord's Name.

32In each and every age, the Gurmukhs know the One Lord; without the Name, liberation is not attained. ||1||Pause||

33The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is revealed in the heart of the True Lord's humble servant. It dwells in the mind of the Gurmukh.

34Those who are lovingly focused on the Lord's Name save themselves; they save all their ancestors as well. ||2||

35My Lord God is the Giver of virtue. The Word of the Shabad burns away all faults and demerits.
