1Aasaa, Fifth House, First Mehla:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3The five evil passions dwell hidden within the mind.

4They do not remain still, but move around like wanderers. ||1||

5My soul does not stay held by the Merciful Lord.

6It is greedy, deceitful, sinful and hypocritical, and totally attached to Maya. ||1||Pause||

7I will decorate my neck with garlands of flowers.

8When I meet my Beloved, then I will put on my decorations. ||2||

9I have five companions and one Spouse.

10It is ordained from the very beginning, that the soul must ultimately depart. ||3||

11The five companions will lament together.

12When the soul is trapped, prays Nanak, it is called to account. ||4||1||34||

13One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

14Aasaa, Sixth House, First Mehla:

15If the pearl of the mind is strung like a jewel on the thread of the breath,

16and the soul-bride adorns her body with compassion, then the Beloved Lord will enjoy His lovely bride. ||1||

17O my Love, I am fascinated by Your many glories;

18Your Glorious Virtues are not found in any other. ||1||Pause||

19If the bride wears the garland of the Lord's Name, Har, Har, around her neck, and if she uses the toothbrush of the Lord;

20and if she fashions and wears the bracelet of the Creator Lord around her wrist, then she shall hold her consciousness steady. ||2||

21She should make the Lord, the Slayer of demons, her ring, and take the Transcendent Lord as her silken clothes.

22The soul-bride should weave patience into the braids of her hair, and apply the lotion of the Lord, the Great Lover. ||3||

23If she lights the lamp in the mansion of her mind, and makes her body the bed of the Lord,

24then, when the King of spiritual wisdom comes to her bed, He shall take her, and enjoy her. ||4||1||35||

25Aasaa, First Mehla:

26The created being acts as he is made to act; what can be said to him, O Siblings of Destiny?

27Whatever the Lord is to do, He is doing; what cleverness could be used to affect Him? ||1||

28The Order of Your Will is so sweet, O Lord; this is pleasing to You.

29O Nanak, he alone is honored with greatness, who is absorbed in the True Name. ||1||Pause||

30The deeds are done according to pre-ordained destiny; no one can turn back this Order.

31As it is written, so it comes to pass; no one can erase it. ||2||

32He who talks on and on in the Lord's Court is known as a joker.

33He is not successful in the game of chess, and his chessmen do not reach their goal. ||3||

34By himself, no one is literate, learned or wise; no one is ignorant or evil.

35When, as a slave, one praises the Lord, only then is he known as a human being. ||4||2||36||

36Aasaa, First Mehla:

37Let the Word of the Guru's Shabad be the ear-rings in your mind, and wear the patched coat of tolerance.

38Whatever the Lord does, look upon that as good; thus you shall obtain the treasure of Sehj Yoga. ||1||
