1This is the way to meet your Husband Lord. Blessed is the soul-bride who is loved by her Husband Lord.

2Social class and status, race, ancestry and skepticism are eliminated, following the Guru's Teachings and contemplating the Word of the Shabad. ||1||

3One whose mind is pleased and appeased, has no egotistical pride. Violence and greed are forgotten.

4The soul-bride intuitively ravishes and enjoys her Husband Lord; as Gurmukh, she is embellished by His Love. ||2||

5Burn away any love of family and relatives, which increases your attachment to Maya.

6One who does not savor the Lord's Love deep within, lives in duality and corruption. ||3||

7His Love is a priceless jewel deep within my being; the Lover of my Beloved is not hidden.

8O Nanak, as Gurmukh, enshrine the Priceless Naam deep within your being, all the ages through. ||4||3||

9Saarang, Fourth Mehla, First House:

10One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

11I am the dust of the feet of the humble Saints of the Lord.

12Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, I have obtained the supreme status. The Lord, the Supreme Soul, is all-pervading everywhere. ||1||Pause||

13Meeting the Saintly True Guru, I have found peace and tranquility. Sins and painful mistakes are totally erased and taken away.

14The Divine Light of the soul radiates forth, gazing upon the Presence of the Immaculate Lord God. ||1||

15By great good fortune, I have found the Sat Sangat; the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is all-prevading everywhere.

16I have taken my cleansing bath at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, bathing in the dust of the feet of the True Congregation. ||2||

17Evil-minded and corrupt, filthy-minded and shallow, with impure heart, attached to enticement and falsehood.

18Without good karma, how can I find the Sangat? Engrossed in egotism, the mortal remains stuck in regret. ||3||

19Be kind and show Your Mercy, O Dear Lord; I beg for the dust of the feet of the Sat Sangat.

20O Nanak, meeting with the Saints, the Lord is attained. The Lord's humble servant obtains the Presence of the Lord. ||4||1||

21Saarang, Fourth Mehla:

22I am a sacrifice to the Feet of the Lord of the Universe.

23I cannot swim across the terrifying world ocean. But chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I am carried across across. ||1||Pause||

24Faith in God came to fill my heart; I serve Him intuitively, and contemplate Him.

25Night and day, I chant the Lord's Name within my heart; it is all-powerful and virtuous. ||1||

26God is Inaccessible and Unfathomable, All-pervading everywhere, in all minds and bodies; He is Infinite and Invisible.

27When the Guru becomes merciful, then the Unseen Lord is seen within the heart. ||2||

28Deep within the inner being is the Name of the Lord, the Support of the entire earth, but to the egotistical shaakta, the faithless cynic, He seems far away.

29His burning desire is never quenched, and he loses the game of life in the gamble. ||3||

30Standing up and sitting down, the mortal sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, when the Guru bestows even a tiny bit of His Grace.

31O Nanak, those who are blessed by His Glance of Grace - He saves and protects their honor. ||4||2||
