1Whatever pleases You is good, O Beloved; Your Will is Eternal. ||7||

2Nanak, those who are imbued with the Love of the All-Pervading Lord, O Beloved, remain intoxicated with His Love, in natural ease. ||8||2||4||

3You know all about my condition, O Beloved; who can I speak to about it? ||1||

4You are the Giver of all beings; they eat and wear what You give them. ||2||

5Pleasure and pain come by Your Will, O Beloved; they do not come from any other. ||3||

6Whatever You cause me to do, that I do, O Beloved; I cannot do anything else. ||4||

7All my days and nights are blessed, O Beloved, when I chant and meditate on the Lord's Name. ||5||

8He does the deeds, O Beloved, which are pre-ordained, and inscribed upon his forehead. ||6||

9The One is Himself prevailing everywhere, O Beloved; He is pervading in each and every heart. ||7||

10Lift me up out of the deep pit of the world, O Beloved; Nanak has taken to Your Sanctuary. ||8||3||22||15||2||42||

11Raag Aasaa, First Mehla, Patee Likhee ~ The Poem Of The Alphabet:

12One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

13Sassa: He who created the world, is the One Lord and Master of all.

14Those whose consciousness remains committed to His Service - blessed is their birth and their coming into the world. ||1||

15O mind, why forget Him? You foolish mind!

16When your account is adjusted, O brother, only then shall you be judged wise. ||1||Pause||

17Eevree: The Primal Lord is the Giver; He alone is True.

18No accounting is due from the Gurmukh who understands the Lord through these letters. ||2||

19Ooraa: Sing the Praises of the One whose limit cannot be found.

20Those who perform service and practice truth, obtain the fruits of their rewards. ||3||

21Nganga: One who understands spiritual wisdom becomes a Pandit, a religious scholar.

22One who recognizes the One Lord among all beings does not talk of ego. ||4||

23Kakka: When the hair grows grey, then it shines without shampoo.

24The hunters of the King of Death come, and bind him in the chains of Maya. ||5||

25Khakha: The Creator is the King of the world; He enslaves by giving nourishment.

26By His Binding, all the world is bound; no other Command prevails. ||6||

27Gagga: One who renounces the singing of the songs of the Lord of the Universe, becomes arrogant in his speech.

28One who has shaped the pots, and made the world the kiln, decides when to put them in it. ||7||

29Ghagha: The servant who performs service, remains attached to the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

30One who recognizes bad and good as one and the same - in this way he is absorbed into the Lord and Master. ||8||

31Chacha: He created the four Vedas, the four sources of creation, and the four ages

32- through each and every age, He Himself has been the Yogi, the enjoyer, the Pandit and the scholar. ||9||
