1The All-pervading Sovereign Lord King is contained in each and every heart. Through the Guru, and the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I am lovingly centered on the Lord.

2Cutting my mind and body into pieces, I offer them to my Guru. The Guru's Teachings have dispelled my doubt and fear. ||2||

3In the darkness, the Guru has lit the lamp of the Guru's wisdom; I am lovingly focused on the Lord.

4The darkness of ignorance has been dispelled, and my mind has been awakened; within the home of my inner being, I have found the genuine article. ||3||

5The vicious hunters, the faithless cynics, are hunted down by the Messenger of Death.

6They have not sold their heads to the True Guru; those wretched, unfortunate ones continue coming and going in reincarnation. ||4||

7Hear my prayer, O God, my Lord and Master: I beg for the Sanctuary of the Lord God.

8Servant Nanak's honor and respect is the Guru; he has sold his head to the True Guru. ||5||10||24||62||

9Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehla:

10I am egotistical and conceited, and my intellect is ignorant. Meeting the Guru, my selfishness and conceit have been abolished.

11The illness of egotism is gone, and I have found peace. Blessed, blessed is the Guru, the Sovereign Lord King. ||1||

12I have found the Lord, through the Teachings of the Guru. ||1||Pause||

13My heart is filled with love for the Sovereign Lord King; the Guru has shown me the path and the way to find Him.

14My soul and body all belong to the Guru; I was separated, and He has led me into the Lord's Embrace. ||2||

15Deep within myself, I would love to see the Lord; the Guru has inspired me to see Him within my heart.

16Within my mind, intuitive peace and bliss have arisen; I have sold myself to the Guru. ||3||

17I am a sinner - I have committed so many sins; I am a villainous, thieving thief.

18Now, Nanak has come to the Lord's Sanctuary; preserve my honor, Lord, as it pleases Your Will. ||4||11||25||63||

19Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehla:

20Through the Guru's Teachings, the unstruck music resounds; through the Guru's Teachings, the mind sings.

21By great good fortune, I received the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan. Blessed, blessed is the Guru, who has led me to love the Lord. ||1||

22The Gurmukh is lovingly centered on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

23My Lord and Master is the Perfect True Guru. My mind works to serve the Guru.

24I massage and wash the Feet of the Guru, who recites the Sermon of the Lord. ||2||

25The Teachings of the Guru are in my heart; the Lord is the Source of nectar. My tongue sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

26My mind is immersed in, and drenched with the Lord's essence. Fulfilled with the Lord's Love, I shall never feel hunger again. ||3||

27People try all sorts of things, but without the Lord's Mercy, His Name is not obtained.

28The Lord has showered His Mercy upon servant Nanak; through the wisdom of the Guru's Teachings, he has enshrined the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||12||26||64||

29Raag Gauree Maajh, Fourth Mehla:

30O my soul, as Gurmukh, do this deed: chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

31Make that teaching your mother, that it may teach you to keep the Lord's Name in your mouth.

32Let contentment be your father; the Guru is the Primal Being, beyond birth or incarnation.
