1By great good fortune, one joins the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, O my Lord of the Universe; O servant Nanak, through the Naam, one's affairs are resolved. ||4||4||30||68||

2Gauree Maajh, Fourth Mehla:

3The Lord has implanted a longing for the Lord's Name within me.

4I have met the Lord God, my Best Friend, and I have found peace.

5Beholding my Lord God, I live, O my mother.

6The Lord's Name is my Friend and Brother. ||1||

7O Dear Saints, sing the Glorious Praises of my Lord God.

8As Gurmukh, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O very fortunate ones.

9The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is my soul and my breath of life.

10I shall never again have to cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

11How shall I behold my Lord God? My mind and body yearn for Him.

12Unite me with the Lord, Dear Saints; my mind is in love with Him.

13Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I have found the Sovereign Lord, my Beloved.

14O very fortunate ones, chant the Name of the Lord. ||3||

15Within my mind and body, there is such a great longing for God, the Lord of the Universe.

16Unite me with the Lord, Dear Saints. God, the Lord of the Universe, is so close to me.

17Through the Teachings of the True Guru, the Naam is always revealed;

18the desires of servant Nanak's mind have been fulfilled. ||4||5||31||69||

19Gauree Maajh, Fourth Mehla:

20If I receive my Love, the Naam, then I live.

21In the temple of the mind, is the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord; through the Guru's Teachings, we drink it in.

22My mind is drenched with the Love of the Lord. I continually drink in the sublime essence of the Lord.

23I have found the Lord within my mind, and so I live. ||1||

24The arrow of the Lord's Love has pierced by mind and body.

25The Lord, the Primal Being, is All-knowing; He is my Beloved and my Best Friend.

26The Saintly Guru has united me with the All-knowing and All-seeing Lord.

27I am a sacrifice to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

28I seek my Lord, Har, Har, my Intimate, my Best Friend.

29Show me the way to the Lord, Dear Saints; I am searching all over for Him.

30The Kind and Compassionate True Guru has shown me the Way, and I have found the Lord.

31Through the Name of the Lord, I am absorbed in the Naam. ||3||

32I am consumed with the pain of separation from the Love of the Lord.

33The Guru has fulfilled my desire, and I have received the Ambrosial Nectar in my mouth.

34The Lord has become merciful, and now I meditate on the Name of the Lord.

35Servant Nanak has obtained the sublime essence of the Lord. ||4||6||20||18||32||70||

36Fifth Mehla, Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, Chau-Padhay:

37One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

38How can happiness be found, O my Siblings of Destiny?

39How can the Lord, our Help and Support, be found? ||1||Pause||

40There is no happiness in owning one's own home, in all of Maya,

41or in lofty mansions casting beautiful shadows.

42In fraud and greed, this human life is being wasted. ||1||
