1O Nanak, through the mind, the mind is satisfied, and then, nothing comes or goes. ||2||

2Pauree:

3The body is the fortress of the Infinite Lord; it is obtained only by destiny.

4The Lord Himself dwells within the body; He Himself is the Enjoyer of pleasures.

5He Himself remains detached and unaffected; while unattached, He is still attached.

6He does whatever He pleases, and whatever He does, comes to pass.

7The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord's Name, and separation from the Lord is ended. ||13||

8Shalok, Third Mehla:

9Waaho! Waaho! The Lord Himself causes us to praise Him, through the True Word of the Guru's Shabad.

10Waaho! Waaho! is His Eulogy and Praise; how rare are the Gurmukhs who understand this.

11Waaho! Waaho! is the True Word of His Bani, by which we meet our True Lord.

12O Nanak, chanting Waaho! Waaho! God is attained; by His Grace, He is obtained. ||1||

13Third Mehla:

14Chanting Waaho! Waaho! the tongue is adorned with the Word of the Shabad.

15Through the Perfect Shabad, one comes to meet God.

16How very fortunate are those, who with their mouths, chant Waaho! Waaho!

17How beautiful are those persons who chant Waaho! Waaho! ; people come to venerate them.

18Waaho! Waaho! is obtained by His Grace; O Nanak, honor is obtained at the Gate of the True Lord. ||2||

19Pauree:

20Within the fortress of body, are the hard and rigid doors of falsehood, deception and pride.

21Deluded by doubt, the blind and ignorant self-willed manmukhs cannot see them.

22They cannot be found by any efforts; wearing their religious robes, the wearers have grown weary of trying.

23The doors are opened only by the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and then, one chants the Name of the Lord.

24The Dear Lord is the Tree of Ambrosial Nectar; those who drink in this Nectar are satisfied. ||14||

25Shalok, Third Mehla:

26Chanting Waaho! Waaho! the night of one's life passes in peace.

27Chanting Waaho! Waaho! I am in eternal bliss, O my mother!

28Chanting Waaho! Waaho!, I have fallen in love with the Lord.

29Waaho! Waaho! Through the karma of good deeds, I chant it, and inspire others to chant it as well.

30Chanting Waaho! Waaho!, one obtains honor.

31O Nanak, Waaho! Waaho! is the Will of the True Lord. ||1||

32Third Mehla:

33Waaho! Waaho! is the Bani of the True Word. Searching, the Gurmukhs have found it.

34Waaho! Waaho! They chant the Word of the Shabad. Waaho! Waaho! They enshrine it in their hearts.

35Chanting Waaho! Waaho! the Gurmukhs easily obtain the Lord, after searching.

36O Nanak, very fortunate are those who reflect upon the Lord, Har, Har, within their hearts. ||2||

37Pauree:

38O my utterly greedy mind, you are constantly engrossed in greed.

39In your desire for the enticing Maya, you wander in the ten directions.

40Your name and social status shall not go with you hereafter; the self-willed manmukh is consumed by pain.

41Your tongue does not taste the sublime essence of the Lord; it utters only insipid words.

42Those Gurmukhs who drink in the Ambrosial Nectar are satisfied. ||15||

43Shalok, Third Mehla:

44Chant Waaho! Waaho! to the Lord, who is True, profound and unfathomable.

45Chant Waaho! Waaho! to the Lord, who is the Giver of virtue, intelligence and patience.
