1O servant Nanak, praise the Naam, the Name of the Lord; this is your service to the Lord, the Truest of the True. ||16||

2Shalok, Fourth Mehla:

3All joy is in the hearts of those, within whose minds the Lord abides.

4In the Court of the Lord, their faces are radiant, and everyone goes to see them.

5Those who meditate on the Name of the Fearless Lord have no fear.

6Those who have such pre-destined destiny remember the Sublime Lord.

7Those, within whose minds the Lord abides, are robed with honor in the Court of the Lord.

8They are carried across, along with all their family, and the whole world is saved along with them.

9O Lord, please unite servant Nanak with Your humble servants; beholding them, beholding them, I live. ||1||

10Fourth Mehla:

11That land, where my True Guru comes and sits, becomes green and fertile.

12Those beings who go and behold my True Guru are rejuvenated.

13Blessed, blessed is the father; blessed, blessed is the family; blessed, blessed is the mother, who gave birth to the Guru.

14Blessed, blessed is the Guru, who worships and adores the Naam; He saves Himself, and emancipates those who see Him.

15O Lord, be kind, and unite me with the True Guru, that servant Nanak may wash His feet. ||2||

16Pauree:

17Truest of the True is the Immortal True Guru; He has enshrined the Lord deep within His heart.

18Truest of the True is the True Guru, the Primal Being, who has conquered sexual desire, anger and corruption.

19When I see the Perfect True Guru, then deep within, my mind is comforted and consoled.

20I am a sacrifice to my True Guru; I am devoted and dedicated to Him, forever and ever.

21A Gurmukh wins the battle of life whereas a self-willed manmukh loses it. ||17||

22Shalok, Fourth Mehla:

23By His Grace, He leads us to meet the True Guru; then, as Gurmukh, we chant the Lord's Name, and meditate on it.

24We do that which pleases the True Guru; the Perfect Guru comes to dwell in the home of the heart.

25Those who have the treasure of the Naam deep within - all their fears are removed.

26They are protected by the Lord Himself; others struggle and fight against them, but they only come to death.

27O servant Nanak, meditate on the Naam; the Lord shall deliver you, here and hereafter. ||1||

28Fourth Mehla:

29The glorious greatness of the Guru, the True Guru, is pleasing to the GurSikh's mind.

30The Lord preserves the honor of the True Guru, which increases day by day.

31The Supreme Lord God is in the Mind of the Guru, the True Guru; the Supreme Lord God saves Him.

32The Lord is the Power and Support of the Guru, the True Guru; all come to bow before Him.

33Those who have gazed lovingly upon my True Guru - all their sins are taken away.

34Their faces are radiant in the Court of the Lord, and they obtain great glory.

35Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of those GurSikhs, O my Siblings of Destiny. ||2||

36Pauree:

37I chant the Praises and Glories of the True One. True is the glorious greatness of the True Lord.

38I praise the True Lord, and the Praises of the True Lord. His worth cannot be estimated.
