1In the end, hatred and conflict well up, and no one can save him.

2O Nanak, without the Name, those loving attachments are cursed; engrossed in them, he suffers in pain. ||32||

3Shalok, Third Mehla:

4The Guru's Word is the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam. Eating it, all hunger departs.

5There is no thirst or desire at all, when the Naam comes to dwell in the mind.

6Eating anything other than the Name, disease runs to afflict the body.

7O Nanak, whoever takes the Praise of the Shabad as his spices and flavors - the Lord unites him in His Union. ||1||

8Third Mehla:

9The life within all living beings is the Word of the Shabad. Through it, we meet our Husband Lord.

10Without the Shabad, the world is in darkness. Through the Shabad, it is enlightened.

11The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the silent sages read and write until they are weary. The religious fanatics are tired of washing their bodies.

12Without the Shabad, no one attains the Lord; the miserable depart weeping and wailing.

13O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace, the Merciful Lord is attained. ||2||

14Pauree:

15The husband and wife are very much in love; sitting together, they make evil plans.

16All that is seen shall pass away. This is the Will of my God.

17How can anyone remain in this world forever? Some may try to devise a plan.

18Working for the Perfect Guru, the wall becomes permanent and stable.

19O Nanak, the Lord forgives them, and merges them into Himself; they are absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||33||

20Shalok, Third Mehla:

21Attached to Maya, the mortal forgets the Fear of God and Guru, and love for the Infinite Lord.

22The waves of greed take away his wisdom and understanding, and he does not embrace love for the True Lord.

23The Word of the Shabad abides in the mind of the Gurmukhs, who find the Gate of Salvation.

24O Nanak, the Lord Himself forgives them, and unites them in Union with Himself. ||1||

25Fourth Mehla:

26O Nanak, without Him, we could not live for a moment. Forgetting Him, we could not succeed for an instant.

27O mortal, how can you be angry with the One who cares for you? ||2||

28Fourth Mehla:

29The rainy season of Saawan has come. The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord's Name.

30All pain, hunger and misfortune end, when the rain falls in torrents.

31The entire earth is rejuvenated, and the grain grows in abundance.

32The Carefree Lord, by His Grace, summons that mortal whom the Lord Himself approves.

33So meditate on the Lord, O Saints; He shall save you in the end.

34The Kirtan of the Lord's Praises and devotion to Him is bliss; peace shall come to dwell in the mind.

35Those Gurmukhs who worship the Naam, the Name of the Lord - their pain and hunger departs.

36Servant Nanak is satisfied, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Please embellish him with the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||3||

37Pauree:

38The Perfect Guru bestows His gifts, which increase day by day.

39The Merciful Lord Himself bestows them; they cannot be concealed by concealment.

40The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and the mortal is lovingly absorbed in the state of supreme bliss.

41If anyone tries to challenge him, the Lord throws dust on his head.

42O Nanak, no one can equal the glory of the Perfect True Guru. ||34||
