1Perfect destiny is inscribed upon your forehead and face; sing the Praises of the Lord forever. ||1||Pause||

2The Lord bestows the Ambrosial Food of the Naam.

3Out of millions, only a rare few receive it

4- only those who are blessed by God's Glance of Grace. ||1||

5Whoever enshrines the Guru's Feet within his mind,

6is rid of pain and darkness from within.

7The True Lord unites him with Himself. ||2||

8So embrace love for the Word of the Guru's Bani.

9Here and hereafter, this is your only Support.

10The Creator Lord Himself bestows it. ||3||

11One whom the Lord inspires to accept His Will,

12is a wise and knowing devotee.

13Nanak is forever a sacrifice to him. ||4||7||17||7||24||

14Prabhaatee, Fourth Mehla, Bibhaas:

15One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

16Through the Guru's Teachings, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord with joyous love and delight; I am enraptured, lovingly attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

17Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I drink in the Ambrosial Essence; I am a sacrifice to the Naam. ||1||

18The Lord, the Life of the World, is my Breath of Life.

19The Lofty and Exalted Lord became pleasing to my heart and my inner being, when the Guru breathed the Mantra of the Lord into my ears. ||1||Pause||

20Come, O Saints: let us join together, O Siblings of Destiny; let us meet and chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

21How am I to find my God? Please bless me with the Gift of the Lord's Teachings. ||2||

22The Lord, Har, Har, abides in the Society of the Saints; joining this Sangat, the Lord's Glories are known.

23By great good fortune, the Society of the Saints is found. Through the Guru, the True Guru, I receive the Touch of the Lord God. ||3||

24I sing the Glorious Praises of God, my Inaccessible Lord and Master; singing His Praises, I am enraptured.

25The Guru has showered His Mercy on servant Nanak; in an instant, He blessed him with the Gift of the Lord's Name. ||4||1||

26Prabhaatee, Fourth Mehla:

27With the rising of the sun, the Gurmukh speaks of the Lord. All through the night, he dwells upon the Sermon of the Lord.

28My God has infused this longing within me; I seek my Lord God. ||1||

29My mind is the dust of the feet of the Holy.

30The Guru has implanted the Sweet Name of the Lord, Har, Har, within me. I dust the Guru's Feet with my hair. ||1||Pause||

31Dark are the days and nights of the faithless cynics; they are caught in the trap of attachment to Maya.

32The Lord God does not dwell in their hearts, even for an instant; every hair of their heads is totally tied up in debts. ||2||

33Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, wisdom and understanding are obtained, and one is released from the traps of egotism and possessiveness.

34The Lord's Name, and the Lord, seem sweet to me. Through the Word of His Shabad, the Guru has made me happy. ||3||

35I am just a child; the Guru is the Unfathomable Lord of the World. In His Mercy, He cherishes and sustains me.

36I am drowning in the ocean of poison; O God, Guru, Lord of the World, please save Your child, Nanak. ||4||2||

37Prabhaatee, Fourth Mehla:

38The Lord God showered me with His Mercy for an instant; I sing His Glorious Praises with joyous love and delight.
