1the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst.

2I am poor, but I have the Wealth of Your Name, O my Beloved.

3This is the most excellent wealth; all else is poison and ashes. ||4||

4I pay no attention to slander and praise; I contemplate the Word of the Shabad.

5I celebrate the One who blesses me with His Bounty.

6Whomever You forgive, O Lord, is blessed with status and honor.

7Says Nanak, I speak as He causes me to speak. ||5||12||

8Prabhaatee, First Mehla:

9Eating too much, one's filth only increases; wearing fancy clothes, one's home is disgraced.

10Talking too much, one only starts arguments. Without the Name, everything is poison - know this well. ||1||

11O Baba, such is the treacherous trap which has caught my mind;

12riding out the waves of the storm, it will be enlightened by intuitive wisdom. ||1||Pause||

13They eat poison, speak poison and do poisonous deeds.

14Bound and gagged at Death's door, they are punished; they can be saved only through the True Name. ||2||

15As they come, they go. Their actions are recorded, and go along with them.

16The self-willed manmukh loses his capital, and is punished in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

17The world is false and polluted; only the True One is Pure. Contemplate Him through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

18Those who have God's spiritual wisdom within, are known to be very rare. ||4||

19They endure the unendurable, and the Nectar of the Lord, the Embodiment of Bliss, trickles into them continuously.

20O Nanak, the fish is in love with the water; if it pleases You, Lord, please enshrine such love within me. ||5||13||

21Prabhaatee, First Mehla:

22Songs, sounds, pleasures and clever tricks;

23joy, love and the power to command;

24fine clothes and food - these have no place in one's consciousness.

25True intuitive peace and poise rest in the Naam. ||1||

26What do I know about what God does?

27Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, nothing makes my body feel good. ||1||Pause||

28Yoga, thrills, delicious flavors and ecstasy;

29wisdom, truth and love all come from devotion to the Lord of the Universe.

30My own occupation is to work to praise the Lord.

31Deep within, I dwell on the Lord of the sun and the moon. ||2||

32I have lovingly enshrined the love of my Beloved within my heart.

33My Husband Lord, the Lord of the World, is the Master of the meek and the poor.

34Night and day, the Naam is my giving in charity and fasting.

35The waves have subsided, contemplating the essence of reality. ||3||

36What power do I have to speak the Unspoken?

37I worship You with devotion; You inspire me to do so.

38You dwell deep within; my egotism is dispelled.

39So whom should I serve? There is no other than You. ||4||

40The Word of the Guru's Shabad is utterly sweet and sublime.

41Such is the Ambrosial Nectar I see deep within.

42Those who taste this, attain the state of perfection.

43O Nanak, they are satisfied, and their bodies are at peace. ||5||14||

44Prabhaatee, First Mehla:

45Deep within, I see the Shabad, the Word of God; my mind is pleased and appeased. Nothing else can touch and imbue me.

46Day and night, God watches over and cares for His beings and creatures; He is the Ruler of all. ||1||

47My God is dyed in the most beautiful and glorious color.

48Merciful to the meek and the poor, my Beloved is the Enticer of the mind; He is so very sweet, imbued with the deep crimson color of His Love. ||1||Pause||

49The Well is high up in the Tenth Gate; the Ambrosial Nectar flows, and I drink it in.

50The creation is His; He alone knows its ways and means. The Gurmukh contemplates spiritual wisdom. ||2||
