1They are filled and fulfilled with the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord, the Treasure of sublime wealth;

2O Nanak, the unstruck celestial melody vibrates for them. ||36||

3Shalok:

4The Guru, the Supreme Lord God, preserved my honor, when I renounced hypocrisy, emotional attachment and corruption.

5O Nanak, worship and adore the One, who has no end or limitation. ||1||

6Pauree:

7PAPPA: He is beyond estimation; His limits cannot be found.

8The Sovereign Lord King is inaccessible;

9He is the Purifier of sinners. Millions of sinners are purified;

10they meet the Holy, and chant the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord.

11Deception, fraud and emotional attachment are eliminated,

12by those who are protected by the Lord of the World.

13He is the Supreme King, with the royal canopy above His Head.

14O Nanak, there is no other at all. ||37||

15Shalok:

16The noose of Death is cut, and one's wanderings cease; victory is obtained, when one conquers his own mind.

17O Nanak, eternal stability is obtained from the Guru, and one's day-to-day wanderings cease. ||1||

18Pauree:

19FAFFA: After wandering and wandering for so long, you have come;

20in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, you have obtained this human body, so very difficult to obtain.

21This opportunity shall not come into your hands again.

22So chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and the noose of Death shall be cut away.

23You shall not have to come and go in reincarnation over and over again,

24if you chant and meditate on the One and Only Lord.

25Shower Your Mercy, O God, Creator Lord,

26and unite poor Nanak with Yourself. ||38||

27Shalok:

28Hear my prayer, O Supreme Lord God, Merciful to the meek, Lord of the World.

29The dust of the feet of the Holy is peace, wealth, great enjoyment and pleasure for Nanak. ||1||

30Pauree:

31BABBA: One who knows God is a Brahmin.

32A Vaishnaav is one who, as Gurmukh, lives the righteous life of Dharma.

33One who eradicates his own evil is a brave warrior;

34no evil even approaches him.

35Man is bound by the chains of his own egotism, selfishness and conceit.

36The spiritually blind place the blame on others.

37But all debates and clever tricks are of no use at all.

38O Nanak, he alone comes to know, whom the Lord inspires to know. ||39||

39Shalok:

40The Destroyer of fear, the Eradicator of sin and sorrow - enshrine that Lord in your mind.

41One whose heart abides in the Society of the Saints, O Nanak, does not wander around in doubt. ||1||

42Pauree:

43BHABHA: Cast out your doubt and delusion

44this world is just a dream.

45The angelic beings, goddesses and gods are deluded by doubt.

46The Siddhas and seekers, and even Brahma are deluded by doubt.

47Wandering around, deluded by doubt, people are ruined.

48It is so very difficult and treacherous to cross over this ocean of Maya.

49That Gurmukh who has eradicated doubt, fear and attachment,

50O Nanak, obtains supreme peace. ||40||

51Shalok:

52Maya clings to the mind, and causes it to waver in so many ways.

53When You, O Lord, restrain someone from asking for wealth, then, O Nanak, he comes to love the Name. ||1||

54Pauree:

55MAMMA: The beggar is so ignorant

56the Great Giver continues to give. He is All-knowing.

57Whatever He gives, He gives once and for all.

58O foolish mind, why do you complain, and cry out so loud?

59Whenever you ask for something, you ask for worldly things;

60no one has obtained happiness from these.

61If you must ask for a gift, then ask for the One Lord.

62O Nanak, by Him, you shall be saved. ||41||
