1The rays of light spread out, and the heart-lotus joyfully blossoms forth; the sun enters into the house of the moon.

2I have conquered death; the desires of the mind are destroyed. By Guru's Grace, I have found God. ||3||

3I am dyed in the deep crimson color of His Love. I am not colored by any other color.

4O Nanak, my tongue is saturated with the taste of God, who is permeating and pervading everywhere. ||4||15||

5Prabhaatee, First Mehla:

6The Yogis are divided into twelve schools, the Sannyaasees into ten.

7The Yogis and those wearing religious robes, and the Jains with their all hair plucked out - without the Word of the Shabad, the noose is around their necks. ||1||

8Those who are imbued with the Shabad are the perfectly detached renunciates.

9They beg to receive charity in the hands of their hearts, embracing love and affection for the One. ||1||Pause||

10The Brahmins study and argue about the scriptures; they perform ceremonial rituals, and lead others in these rituals.

11Without true understanding, those self-willed manmukhs understand nothing. Separated from God, they suffer in pain. ||2||

12Those who receive the Shabad are sanctified and pure; they are approved in the True Court.

13Night and day, they remain lovingly attuned to the Naam; throughout the ages, they are merged in the True One. ||3||

14Good deeds, righteousness and Dharmic faith, purification, austere self-discipline, chanting, intense meditation and pilgrimages to sacred shrines - all these abide in the Shabad.

15O Nanak, united in union with the True Guru, suffering, sin and death run away. ||4||16||

16Prabhaatee, First Mehla:

17The dust of the feet of the Saints, the Company of the Holy, and the Praises of the Lord carry us across to the other side.

18What can the wretched, terrified Messenger of Death do to the Gurmukhs? The Lord abides in their hearts. ||1||

19Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, life might just as well be burnt down.

20The Gurmukh chants and meditates on the Lord, chanting the chant on the mala; the Flavor of the Lord comes into the mind. ||1||Pause||

21Those who follow the Guru's Teachings find true peace - how can I even describe the glory of such a person?

22The Gurmukh seeks and finds the gems and jewels, diamonds, rubies and treasures. ||2||

23So center yourself on the treasures of spiritual wisdom and meditation; remain lovingly attuned to the One True Lord, and the Word of His Shabad.

24Remain absorbed in the Primal State of the Fearless, Immaculate, Independent, Self-sufficient Lord. ||3||

25The seven seas are overflowing with the Immaculate Water; the inverted boat floats across.

26The mind which wandered in external distractions is restrained and held in check; the Gurmukh is intuitively absorbed in God. ||4||

27He is a householder, he is a renunciate and God's slave, who, as Gurmukh, realizes his own self.

28Says Nanak, his mind is pleased and appeased by the True Word of the Shabad; there is no other at all. ||5||17||

29Raag Prabhaatee, Third Mehla, Chau-Padhay:

30One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

31Those who become Gurmukh and understand are very rare; God is permeating and pervading through the Word of His Shabad.

32Those who are imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, find everlasting peace; they remain lovingly attuned to the True One. ||1||
