1Those who are attuned to the Shabad are immaculate and pure. They walk in harmony with the Will of the True Guru. ||7||

2O Lord God, You are the One and Only Giver; You forgive us, and unite us with Yourself.

3Servant Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary; if it is Your Will, please save him! ||8||1||9||

4Raag Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehla, Karhalay:

5One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

6O my wandering mind, you are like a camel - how will you meet the Lord, your Mother?

7When I found the Guru, by the destiny of perfect good fortune, my Beloved came and embraced me. ||1||

8O camel-like mind, meditate on the True Guru, the Primal Being. ||1||Pause||

9O camel-like mind, contemplate the Lord, and meditate on the Lord's Name.

10When you are called to answer for your account, the Lord Himself shall release you. ||2||

11O camel-like mind, you were once very pure; the filth of egotism has now attached itself to you.

12Your Beloved Husband is now manifest before you in your own home, but you are separated from Him, and you suffer such pain! ||3||

13O my beloved camel-like mind, search for the Lord within your own heart.

14He cannot be found by any device; the Guru will show you the Lord within your heart. ||4||

15O my beloved camel-like mind, day and night, lovingly attune yourself to the Lord.

16Return to your own home, and find the palace of love; meet the Guru, and meet the Lord. ||5||

17O camel-like mind, you are my friend; abandon hypocrisy and greed.

18The hypocritical and the greedy are struck down; the Messenger of Death punishes them with his club. ||6||

19O camel-like mind, you are my breath of life; rid yourself of the pollution of hypocrisy and doubt.

20The Perfect Guru is the Ambrosial Pool of the Lord's Nectar; join the Holy Congregation, and wash away this pollution. ||7||

21O my dear beloved camel-like mind, listen only to the Teachings of the Guru.

22This emotional attachment to Maya is so pervasive. Ultimately, nothing shall go along with anyone. ||8||

23O camel-like mind, my good friend, take the supplies of the Lord's Name, and obtain honor.

24In the Court of the Lord, you shall be robed with honor, and the Lord Himself shall embrace you. ||9||

25O camel-like mind, one who surrenders to the Guru becomes Gurmukh, and works for the Lord.

26Offer your prayers to the Guru; O servant Nanak, He shall unite you with the Lord. ||10||1||

27Gauree, Fourth Mehla:

28O contemplative camel-like mind, contemplate and look carefully.

29The forest-dwellers have grown weary of wandering in the forests; following the Guru's Teachings, see your Husband Lord within your heart. ||1||

30O camel-like mind, dwell upon the Guru and the Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||

31O camel-like contemplative mind, the self-willed manmukhs are caught in the great net.

32The mortal who becomes Gurmukh is liberated, dwelling upon the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||

33O my dear beloved camel-like mind, seek the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, and the True Guru.

34Joining the Sat Sangat, meditate on the Lord, and the Lord, Har, Har, shall go along with you. ||3||

35O very fortunate camel-like mind, with one Glance of Grace from the Lord, you shall be enraptured.
