1It shall eventually merge back into that from which it came, and all its expanse shall be gone. ||4||1||

2Malaar, Third Mehla:

3Those who realize the Hukam of the Lord's Command are united with Him; through the Word of His Shabad, their egotism is burnt away.

4They perform true devotional worship day and night; they remain lovingly attuned to the True Lord.

5They gaze on their True Lord forever, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, with loving ease. ||1||

6O mortal, accept His Will and find peace.

7God is pleased by the Pleasure of His Own Will. Whomever He forgives, meets no obstacles on the way. ||1||Pause||

8Under the influence of the three gunas, the three dispositions, the mind wanders everywhere, without love or devotion to the Lord.

9No one is ever saved or liberated, by doing deeds in ego.

10Whatever our Lord and Master wills, comes to pass. People wander according to their past actions. ||2||

11Meeting with the True Guru, the mind is overpowered; the Lord's Name comes to abide in the mind.

12The value of such a person cannot be estimated; nothing at all can be said about him.

13He comes to dwell in the fourth state; he remains merged in the True Lord. ||3||

14My Lord God is Inaccessible and Unfathomable. His value cannot be expressed.

15By Guru's Grace, he comes to understand, and live the Shabad.

16O Nanak, praise the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord. ||4||2||

17Malaar, Third Mehla:

18Rare is that person who, as Gurmukh, understands; the Lord has bestowed His Glance of Grace.

19There is no Giver except the Guru. He grants His Grace and forgives.

20Meeting the Guru, peace and tranquility well up; chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, day and night. ||1||

21O my mind, meditate on the Ambrosial Name of the Lord.

22Meeting with the True Guru and the Primal Being, the Name is obtained, and one remains forever absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

23The self-willed manmukhs are forever separated from the Lord; no one is with them.

24They are stricken with the great disease of egotism; they are hit on the head by the Messenger of Death.

25Those who follow the Guru's Teachings are never separated from the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. They dwell on the Naam, night and day. ||2||

26You are the One and Only Creator of all. You continually create, watch over and contemplate.

27Some are Gurmukh - You unite them with Yourself. You bless then with the treasure of devotion.

28You Yourself know everything. Unto whom should I complain? ||3||

29The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is Ambrosial Nectar. By the Lord's Grace, it is obtained.

30Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, night and day, the intuitive peace and poise of the Guru is obtained.

31O Nanak, the Naam is the greatest treasure. Focus your consciousness on the Naam. ||4||3||

32Malaar, Third Mehla:

33I praise the Guru, the Giver of peace, forever. He truly is the Lord God.

34By Guru's Grace, I have obtained the supreme status. His glorious greatness is glorious!

35One who sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord, merges in the True Lord. ||1||

36O mortal, contemplate the Guru's Word in your heart.

37Abandon your false family, poisonous egotism and desire; remember in your heart, that you will have to leave. ||1||Pause||

38The True Guru is the Giver of the Lord's Name. There is no other giver at all.
