1Siree Raag, Third Mehla, First House:

2Everyone belongs to the One who rules the Universe.

3The Gurmukh practices good deeds, and the truth is revealed in the heart.

4True is the reputation of the true, within whom truth abides.

5Those who meet the True Lord are not separated again; they come to dwell in the home of the self deep within. ||1||

6O my Lord! Without the Lord, I have no other at all.

7The True Guru leads us to meet the Immaculate True God through the Word of His Shabad. ||1||Pause||

8One whom the Lord merges into Himself is merged in the Shabad, and remains so merged.

9No one merges with Him through the love of duality; over and over again, they come and go in reincarnation.

10The One Lord permeates all. The One Lord is pervading everywhere.

11That Gurmukh, unto whom the Lord shows His Kindness, is absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

12After all their reading, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers argue and debate.

13Their intellect and understanding are perverted; they just don't understand. They are filled with greed and corruption.

14Through 8.4 million incarnations they wander lost and confused; through all their wandering and roaming, they are ruined.

15They act according to their pre-ordained destiny, which no one can erase. ||3||

16It is very difficult to serve the True Guru. Surrender your head; give up your selfishness.

17Realizing the Shabad, one meets with the Lord, and all one's service is accepted.

18By personally experiencing the Personality of the Guru, one's own personality is uplifted, and one's light merges into the Light.

19Those who have such pre-ordained destiny come to meet the True Guru. ||4||

20O mind, don't cry out that you are hungry, always hungry; stop complaining.

21The One who created the 8.4 million species of beings gives sustenance to all.

22The Fearless Lord is forever Merciful; He takes care of all.

23O Nanak, the Gurmukh understands, and finds the Door of Liberation. ||5||3||36||

24Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

25Those who hear and believe, find the home of the self deep within.

26Through the Guru's Teachings, they praise the True Lord; they find the Lord, the Treasure of Excellence.

27Attuned to the Word of the Shabad, they are immaculate and pure. I am forever a sacrifice to them.

28Those people, within whose hearts the Lord abides, are radiant and enlightened. ||1||

29O my mind, meditate on the Immaculate Lord, Har, Har.

30Those whose have such pre-ordained destiny written on their foreheads-those Gurmukhs remain absorbed in the Lord's Love. ||1||Pause||

31O Saints, see clearly that the Lord is near at hand; He is pervading everywhere.

32Those who follow the Guru's Teachings realize Him, and see Him Ever-present.

33He dwells forever in the minds of the virtuous. He is far removed from those worthless people who lack virtue.

34The self-willed manmukhs are totally without virtue. Without the Name, they die in frustration. ||2||

35Those who hear and believe in the Word of the Guru's Shabad, meditate on the Lord in their minds.

36Night and day, they are steeped in devotion; their minds and bodies become pure.

37The color of the world is false and weak; when it washes away, people cry out in pain.

38Those who have the Radiant Light of the Naam within, become steady and stable, forever and ever. ||3||
