1Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

2Discarding the Ambrosial Nectar, they greedily grab the poison; they serve others, instead of the Lord.

3They lose their faith, they have no understanding; night and day, they suffer in pain.

4The blind, self-willed manmukhs do not even think of the Lord; they are drowned to death without water. ||1||

5O mind, vibrate and meditate forever on the Lord; seek the Protection of His Sanctuary.

6If the Word of the Guru's Shabad abides deep within, then you shall not forget the Lord. ||1||Pause||

7This body is the puppet of Maya. The evil of egotism is within it.

8Coming and going through birth and death, the self-willed manmukhs lose their honor.

9Serving the True Guru, eternal peace is obtained, and one's light merges into the Light. ||2||

10Serving the True Guru brings a deep and profound peace, and one's desires are fulfilled.

11Abstinence, truthfulness and self-discipline are obtained, and the body is purified; the Lord, Har, Har, comes to dwell within the mind.

12Such a person remains blissful forever, day and night. Meeting the Beloved, peace is found. ||3||

13I am a sacrifice to those who seek the Sanctuary of the True Guru.

14In the Court of the True One, they are blessed with true greatness; they are intuitively absorbed into the True Lord.

15O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace He is found; the Gurmukh is united in His Union. ||4||12||45||

16Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

17The self-willed manmukh performs religious rituals, like the unwanted bride decorating her body.

18Her Husband Lord does not come to her bed; day after day, she grows more and more miserable.

19She does not attain the Mansion of His Presence; she does not find the door to His House. ||1||

20O Siblings of Destiny, meditate on the Naam with one-pointed mind.

21Remain united with the Society of the Saints; chant the Name of the Lord, and find peace. ||1||Pause||

22The Gurmukh is the happy and pure soul-bride forever. She keeps her Husband Lord enshrined within her heart.

23Her speech is sweet, and her way of life is humble. She enjoys the Bed of her Husband Lord.

24The happy and pure soul-bride is noble; she has infinite love for the Guru. ||2||

25By perfect good fortune, one meets the True Guru, when one's destiny is awakened.

26Suffering and doubt are cut out from within, and peace is obtained.

27One who walks in harmony with the Guru's Will shall not suffer in pain. ||3||

28The Amrit, the Ambrosial Nectar, is in the Guru's Will. With intuitive ease, it is obtained.

29Those who are destined to have it, drink it in; their egotism is eradicated from within.

30O Nanak, the Gurmukh meditates on the Naam, and is united with the True Lord. ||4||13||46||

31Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

32If you know that He is your Husband Lord, offer your body and mind to Him.

33Behave like the happy and pure soul-bride.

34With intuitive ease, you shall merge with the True Lord, and He shall bless you with true greatness. ||1||

35O Siblings of Destiny, without the Guru, there is no devotional worship.

36Without the Guru, devotion is not obtained, even though everyone may long for it. ||1||Pause||

37The soul-bride in love with duality goes around the wheel of reincarnation, through 8.4 million incarnations.

38Without the Guru, she finds no sleep, and she passes her life-night in pain.

39Without the Shabad, she does not find her Husband Lord, and her life wastes away in vain. ||2||
