1O My True Lord Master, True is Your glorious greatness.

2You are the Supreme Lord God, the Infinite Lord and Master. Your creative power cannot be described.

3True is Your glorious greatness; when You enshrine it within the mind, one sings Your Glorious Praises forever.

4He sings Your Glorious Praises, when it is pleasing to You, O True Lord; he centers his consciousness on You.

5One whom You unite with Yourself, as Gurmukh, remains absorbed in You.

6Thus says Nanak: O my True Lord Master, True is Your Glorious Greatness. ||10||2||7||5||2||7||

7Raag Aasaa, Chhant, Fourth Mehla, First House:

8One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

9Life - I have found real life, as Gurmukh, through His Love.

10The Lord's Name - He has given me the Lord's Name, and enshrined it within my breath of life.

11He has enshrined the Name of the Lord, Har, Har within my breath of lfe, and all my doubts and sorrows have departed.

12I have meditated on the invisible and unapproachable Lord, through the Guru's Word, and I have obtained the pure, supreme status.

13The unstruck melody resounds, and the instruments ever vibrate, singing the Bani of the True Guru.

14O Nanak, God the Great Giver has given me a gift; He has blended my light into the Light. ||1||

15The self-willed manmukhs die in their self-willed stubbornness, declaring that the wealth of Maya is theirs.

16They attach their consciousness to the foul-smelling pile of filth, which comes for a moment, and departs in an instant.

17They attach their consciousness to the foul-smelling pile of filth, which is transitory, like the fading color of the safflower.

18One moment, they are facing east, and the next instant, they are facing west; they continue spinning around, like the potter's wheel.

19In sorrow, they eat, and in sorrow, they gather things and try to enjoy them, but they only increase their stores of sorrow.

20O Nanak, one easily crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, when he comes to the Sanctuary of the Guru. ||2||

21My Lord, my Lord Master is sublime, unapproachable and unfathomable.

22The wealth of the Lord - I seek the wealth of the Lord, from my True Guru, the Divine Banker.

23I seek the wealth of the Lord, to purchase the Naam; I sing and love the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

24I have totally renounced sleep and hunger, and through deep meditation, I am absorbed into the Absolute Lord.

25The traders of one kind come and take away the Name of the Lord as their profit.

26O Nanak, dedicate your mind and body to the Guru; one who is so destined, attains it. ||3||

27The great ocean is full of the treasures of jewels upon jewels.

28They come into the hands of those who are immersed in the Word of the Guru's Bani.

29This priceless, incomparable jewel comes into the hands of those who are committed to the Word of the Guru's Bani.

30They obtain the immeasurable Name of the Lord, Har, Har; their treasure is overflowing with devotional worship.

31I have churned the ocean of the body, and I have seen the incomparable thing come into view.

32The Guru is God, and God is the Guru, O Nanak; there is no difference between the two, O Siblings of Destiny. ||4||1||8||

33Aasaa, Fourth Mehla:

34Slowly, slowly, slowly, very slowly, the drops of Ambrosial Nectar trickle down.
