1Saarang, Fourth Mehla:

2O my Beloved Lord, Har, Har, please bless me with Your Ambrosial Name.

3Those whose minds are pleased to be Gurmukh - the Lord completes their projects. ||1||Pause||

4Those humble beings who become meek before the Guru-their pains are taken away.

5Night and day, they perform devotional worship services to the Guru; they are embellished with the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

6Within their hearts is the ambrosial essence of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; they savor this essence, sing the praises of this essence, and contemplate this essence.

7By Guru's Grace, they are aware of this ambrosial essence; they find the Gate of Salvation. ||2||

8The True is the Primal Being, Unmoving and Unchanging. One who takes the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord - his intellect becomes focused and steady.

9I offer my soul to Him; I am a sacrifice to my True Guru. ||3||

10The self-willed manmukhs are stuck in doubt and attached to duality; the darkness of spiritual ignorance is within them.

11They do not see the True Guru, the Giver; they are not on this shore, or the other. ||4||

12Our Lord and Master is permeating and pervading each and every heart; He is supremely Potent to exercise His Might.

13Nanak, the slave of His slaves, says, please, be merciful and save me! ||5||3||

14Saarang, Fourth Mehla:

15This is the way to work for the Lord.

16Whatever He does, accept that as true. As Gurmukh, remain lovingly absorbed in His Name. ||1||Pause||

17The Love of the Lord of the Universe seems supremely sweet. Everything else is forgotten.

18Night and day, he is in ecstasy; his mind is pleased and appeased, and his light merges into the Light. ||1||

19Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, his mind is satisfied. Peace and tranquility come to abide within his mind.

20When the Guru becomes merciful, the mortal finds the Lord; he focuses his consciousness on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||2||

21The intellect is enlightened, meditating on the Lord. He remains lovingly attuned to the essence of spiritual wisdom.

22The Divine Light radiates forth deep within his being; his mind is pleased and appeased. He merges intuitively into Celestial Samaadhi. ||3||

23One whose heart is filled with falsehood, continues to practice falsehood, even while he teaches and preaches about the Lord.

24Within him is the utter darkness of greed. He is thrashed like wheat, and suffers in pain. ||4||

25When my God is totally pleased, the mortal tunes in and becomes Gurmukh.

26Nanak has obtained the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. Chanting the Naam, he has found peace. ||5||4||

27Saarang, Fourth Mehla:

28My mind is pleased and appeased by the Name of the Lord.

29The True Guru has implanted divine love within my heart. The Sermon of the Lord, Har, Har, is pleasing to my mind. ||1||Pause||

30Please be merciful to Your meek and humble servant; please bless Your humble servant with Your Unspoken Speech.

31Meeting with the humble Saints, I have found the sublime essence of the Lord. The Lord seems so sweet to my mind and body. ||1||

32They alone are unattached, who are imbued with the Lord's Love; through the Guru's Teachings, they realize the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

33Meeting with the Primal Being, one finds peace, and one's comings and goings in reincarnation are ended. ||2||

34With my eyes, I gaze lovingly upon God, my Lord and Master. I chant His Name with my tongue.
