1Pauree:

2How can the unweighable be weighed? Without weighing Him, He cannot be obtained.

3Reflect on the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and immerse yourself in His Glorious Virtues.

4He Himself weighs Himself; He unites in Union with Himself.

5His value cannot be estimated; nothing can be said about this.

6I am a sacrifice to my Guru; He has made me realize this true realization.

7The world has been deceived, and the Ambrosial Nectar is being plundered. The self-willed manmukh does not realize this.

8Without the Name, nothing will go along with him; he wastes his life, and departs.

9Those who follow the Guru's Teachings and remain awake and aware, preserve and protect the home of their heart; demons have no power against them. ||8||

10Shalok, Third Mehla:

11O rainbird, do not cry out. Do not let this mind of yours be so thirsty for a drop of water. Obey the Hukam, the Command of your Lord and Master,

12and your thirst shall be quenched. Your love for Him shall increase four-fold. ||1||

13Third Mehla:

14O rainbird, your place is in the water; you move around in the water.

15But you do not appreciate the water, and so you cry out.

16In the water and on the land, it rains down in the ten directions. No place is left dry.

17With so much rain, those who are die of thirst are very unfortunate.

18O Nanak, the Gurmukhs understand; the Lord abides within their minds. ||2||

19Pauree:

20The Yogic Masters, celibates, Siddhas and spiritual teachers - none of them has found the limits of the Lord.

21The Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam, and merge in You, O Lord.

22For thirty-six ages, God remained in utter darkness, as He pleased.

23The vast expanse of water swirled around.

24The Creator of all is Infinite, Endless and Inaccessible.

25He formed fire and conflict, hunger and thirst.

26Death hangs over the heads of the people of the world, in the love of duality.

27The Savior Lord saves those who realize the Word of the Shabad. ||9||

28Shalok, Third Mehla:

29This rain pours down on all; it rains down in accordance with God's Loving Will.

30Those trees become green and lush, which remain immersed in the Guru's Word.

31O Nanak, by His Grace, there is peace; the pain of these creatures is gone. ||1||

32Third Mehla:

33The night is wet with dew; lightning flashes, and the rain pours down in torrents.

34Food and wealth are produced in abundance when it rains, if it is the Will of God.

35Consuming it, the minds of His creatures are satisfied, and they adopt the lifestyle of the way.

36This wealth is the play of the Creator Lord. Sometimes it comes, and sometimes it goes.

37The Naam is the wealth of the spiritually wise. It is permeating and pervading forever.

38O Nanak, those who are blessed with His Glance of Grace receive this wealth. ||2||

39Pauree:

40He Himself does, and causes all to be done. Unto whom can I complain?

41He Himself calls the mortal beings to account; He Himself causes them to act.

42Whatever pleases Him happens. Only a fool issues commands.

43He Himself saves and redeems; He Himself is the Forgiver.

44He Himself sees, and He Himself hears; He gives His Support to all.

45He alone is pervading and permeating all; He considers each and every one.
