1I would cut my living body into four pieces for anyone who shows me my Beloved.

2O Nanak, when the Lord becomes merciful, then He leads us to meet the Perfect Guru. ||5||

3The power of egotism prevails within, and the body is controlled by Maya; the false ones come and go in reincarnation.

4If someone does not obey the Command of the True Guru, he cannot cross over the treacherous world-ocean.

5Whoever is blessed with the Lord's Glance of Grace, walks in harmony with the Will of the True Guru.

6The Blessed Vision of the True Guru's Darshan is fruitful; through it, one obtains the fruits of his desires.

7I touch the feet of those who believe in and obey the True Guru.

8Nanak is the slave of those who, night and day, remain lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||6||

9Those who are in love with their Beloved - how can they find satisfaction without His Darshan?

10O Nanak, the Gurmukhs meet Him with ease, and this mind blossoms forth in joy. ||7||

11Those who are in love with their Beloved - how can they live without Him?

12When they see their Husband Lord, O Nanak, they are rejuvenated. ||8||

13Those Gurmukhs who are filled with love for You, my True Beloved,

14O Nanak, remain immersed in the Lord's Love, night and day. ||9||

15The love of the Gurmukh is true; through it, the True Beloved is attained.

16Night and day, remain in bliss, O Nanak, immersed in intuitive peace and poise. ||10||

17True love and affection are obtained from the Perfect Guru.

18They never break, O Nanak, if one sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||11||

19How can those who have true love within them live without their Husband Lord?

20The Lord unites the Gurmukhs with Himself, O Nanak; they were separated from Him for such a long time. ||12||

21You grant Your Grace to those whom You Yourself bless with love and affection.

22O Lord, please let Nanak meet with You; please bless this beggar with Your Name. ||13||

23The Gurmukh laughs, and the Gurmukh cries.

24Whatever the Gurmukh does, is devotional worship.

25Whoever becomes Gurmukh contemplates the Lord.

26The Gurmukh, O Nanak, crosses over to the other shore. ||14||

27Those who have the Naam within, contemplate the Word of the Guru's Bani.

28Their faces are always radiant in the Court of the True Lord.

29Sitting down and standing up, they never forget the Creator, who forgives them.

30O Nanak, the Gurmukhs are united with the Lord. Those united by the Creator Lord, shall never be separated again. ||15||

31To work for the Guru, or a spiritual teacher, is terribly difficult, but it brings the most excellent peace.

32The Lord casts His Glance of Grace, and inspires love and affection.

33Joined to the service of the True Guru, the mortal being crosses over the terrifying world-ocean.

34The fruits of the mind's desires are obtained, with clear contemplation and discriminating understanding within.

35O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, God is found; He is the Eradicator of all sorrow. ||16||

36The self-willed manmukh may perform service, but his consciousness is attached to the love of duality.

37Through Maya, his emotional attachment to children, spouse and relatives increases.

38He shall be called to account in the Court of the Lord, and in the end, no one will be able to save him.
