1One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

2Raag Aasaa, Second House, Fourth Mehla:

3Some form alliances with friends, children and siblings.

4Some form alliances with in-laws and relatives.

5Some form alliances with chiefs and leaders for their own selfish motives.

6My alliance is with the Lord, who is pervading everywhere. ||1||

7I have formed my alliance with the Lord; the Lord is my only support.

8Other than the Lord, I have no other faction or alliance; I sing of the countless and endless Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

9Those with whom you form alliances, shall perish.

10Making false alliances, the mortals repent and regret in the end.

11Those who practice falsehood shall not last.

12I have formed my alliance with the Lord; there is no one more powerful than Him. ||2||

13All these alliances are mere extensions of the love of Maya.

14Only fools argue over Maya.

15They are born, and they die, and they lose the game of life in the gamble.

16My alliance is with the Lord, who embellishes all, in this world and the next. ||3||

17In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the five thieves instigate alliances and conflicts.

18Sexual desire, anger, greed, emotional attachment and self-conceit have increased.

19One who is blessed by the Lord's Grace, joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

20My alliance is with the Lord, who has destroyed all these alliances. ||4||

21In the false love of duality, people sit and form alliances.

22They complain about other peoples' faults, while their own self-conceit only increases.

23As they plant, so shall they harvest.

24Servant Nanak has joined the Lord's alliance of Dharma, which shall conquer the whole world. ||5||2||54||

25Aasaa, Fourth Mehla:

26Constantly listening to the Ambrosial Gurbani in the heart, it becomes pleasing to the mind.

27Through Gurbani, the Incomprehensible Lord is comprehended. ||1||

28As Gurmukh, listen to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O my sisters.

29The One Lord is pervading and permeating deep within the heart; with your mouth, recite the Ambrosial Hymns of the Guru. ||1||Pause||

30My mind and body are filled with divine love, and great sadness.

31By great good fortune, I have obtained the True Guru, the Primal Being. ||2||

32In the love of duality, the mortals wander through poisonous Maya.

33The unfortunate ones do not meet the True Guru. ||3||

34The Lord Himself inspires us to drink in the Lord's Ambrosial Elixir.

35Through the Perfect Guru, O Nanak, the Lord is obtained. ||4||3||55||

36Aasaa, Fourth Mehla:

37The Love of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the Support of my mind and body.

38I chant the Naam; the Naam is the essence of peace. ||1||

39So chant the Naam, O my friends and companions.

40Without the Naam, there is nothing else for me. By great good fortune, as Gurmukh, I have received the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

41Without the Naam, I cannot live.

42By great good fortune, the Gurmukhs obtain the Naam. ||2||

43Those who lack the Naam have their faces rubbed in the dirt of Maya.

44Without the Naam, cursed, cursed are their lives. ||3||
