135

1My mind and body are so thirsty for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. Won't someone please come and lead me to him, O my mother.

2The Saints are the helpers of the Lord's lovers; I fall and touch their feet.

3Without God, how can I find peace? There is nowhere else to go.

4Those who have tasted the sublime essence of His Love, remain satisfied and fulfilled.

5They renounce their selfishness and conceit, and they pray, ""God, please attach me to the hem of Your robe.""

6Those whom the Husband Lord has united with Himself, shall not be separated from Him again.

7Without God, there is no other at all. Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Lord.

8In Assu, the Lord, the Sovereign King, has granted His Mercy, and they dwell in peace. ||8||

9In the month of Katak, do good deeds. Do not try to blame anyone else.

10Forgetting the Transcendent Lord, all sorts of illnesses are contracted.

11Those who turn their backs on the Lord shall be separated from Him and consigned to reincarnation, over and over again.

12In an instant, all of Maya's sensual pleasures turn bitter.

13No one can then serve as your intermediary. Unto whom can we turn and cry?

14By one's own actions, nothing can be done; destiny was pre-determined from the very beginning.

15By great good fortune, I meet my God, and then all pain of separation departs.

16Please protect Nanak, God; O my Lord and Master, please release me from bondage.

17In Katak, in the Company of the Holy, all anxiety vanishes. ||9||

18In the month of Maghar, those who sit with their Beloved Husband Lord are beautiful.

19How can their glory be measured? Their Lord and Master blends them with Himself.

20Their bodies and minds blossom forth in the Lord; they have the companionship of the Holy Saints.

21Those who lack the Company of the Holy, remain all alone.

22Their pain never departs, and they fall into the grip of the Messenger of Death.

23Those who have ravished and enjoyed their God, are seen to be continually exalted and uplifted.

24They wear the Necklace of the jewels, emeralds and rubies of the Lord's Name.

25Nanak seeks the dust of the feet of those who take to the Sanctuary of the Lord's Door.

26Those who worship and adore God in Maghar, do not suffer the cycle of reincarnation ever again. ||10||

27In the month of Poh, the cold does not touch those, whom the Husband Lord hugs close in His Embrace.

28Their minds are transfixed by His Lotus Feet. They are attached to the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.

29Seek the Protection of the Lord of the Universe; His service is truly profitable.

30Corruption shall not touch you, when you join the Holy Saints and sing the Lord's Praises.

31From where it originated, there the soul is blended again. It is absorbed in the Love of the True Lord.

32When the Supreme Lord God grasps someone's hand, he shall never again suffer separation from Him.

33I am a sacrifice, 100,000 times, to the Lord, my Friend, the Unapproachable and Unfathomable.

34Please preserve my honor, Lord; Nanak begs at Your Door.

35Poh is beautiful, and all comforts come to that one, whom the Carefree Lord has forgiven. ||11||

36In the month of Maagh, let your cleansing bath be the dust of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

37Meditate and listen to the Name of the Lord, and give it to everyone.

38In this way, the filth of lifetimes of karma shall be removed, and egotistical pride shall vanish from your mind.
