1God has showered His Mercy on servant Nanak; He has lifted him up, and rescued him from the ocean of poison. ||4||6||

2Malaar, Fourth Mehla:

3Those who do not drink in the Ambrosial Nectar by Guru's Grace - their thirst and hunger are not relieved.

4The foolish self-willed manmukh burns in the fire of egotistical pride; he suffers painfully in egotism.

5Coming and going, he wastes his life uselessly; afflicted with pain, he regrets and repents.

6He does not even think of the One, from whom he originated. Cursed is his life, and cursed is his food. ||1||

7O mortal, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

8The Lord, Har, Har, in His Mercy leads the mortal to meet the Guru; he is absorbed in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

9The life of the self-willed manmukh is useless; he comes and goes in shame.

10In sexual desire and anger, the proud ones are drowned. They are burnt in their egotism.

11They do not attain perfection or understanding; their intellect is dimmed. Tossed by the waves of greed, they suffer in pain.

12Without the Guru, they suffer in terrible pain. Seized by Death, they weep and wail. ||2||

13As Gurmukh, I have attained the Unfathomable Name of the Lord, with intuitive peace and poise.

14The treasure of the Naam abides deep within my heart. My tongue sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

15I am forever in bliss, day and night, lovingly attuned to the One Word of the Shabad.

16I have obtained the treasure of the Naam with intuitive ease; this is the glorious greatness of the True Guru. ||3||

17Through the True Guru, the Lord, Har, Har, comes to dwell within my mind. I am forever a sacrifice to the True Guru.

18I have dedicated my mind and body to Him, and placed everything before Him in offering. I focus my consciousness on His Feet.

19Please be merciful to me, O my Perfect Guru, and unite me with Yourself.

20I am just iron; the Guru is the boat, to carry me across. ||4||7||

21Malaar, Fourth Mehla, Partaal, Third House:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23The humble servant of the Lord chants the Name of the Supreme Lord; he joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Lord's Holy. ||1||Pause||

24Deal only in the wealth of the Lord, and gather only the wealth of the Lord. No thief can ever steal it. ||1||

25The rainbirds and the peacocks sing day and night, hearing the thunder in the clouds. ||2||

26Whatever the deer, the fish and the birds sing, they chant to the Lord, and no other. ||3||

27Servant Nanak sings the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises; the sound and fury of Death has totally gone away. ||4||1||8||

28Malaar, Fourth Mehla:

29They speak and chant the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam; the very fortunate ones seek Him.

30Whoever shows me the Way of the Lord - I fall at his feet. ||1||Pause||

31The Lord is my Friend and Compansion; I am in love with the Lord.
