1Make servant Nanak the slave of Your slave; let his head roll in the dust under the feet of the Holy. ||2||4||37||

2Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehla, Seventh House:

3One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

4You are all-powerful, at all times; You show me the Way; I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to You.

5Your Saints sing to You with love; I fall at their feet. ||1||Pause||

6O Praiseworthy Lord, Enjoyer of celestial peace, Embodiment of mercy, One Infinite Lord, Your place is so beautiful. ||1||

7Riches, supernatural spiritual powers and wealth are in the palm of Your hand. O Lord, Life of the World, Master of all, infinite is Your Name.

8Show Kindness, Mercy and Compassion to Nanak; hearing Your Praises, I live. ||2||1||38||6||44||

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehla:

11This mind does not follow my advice one tiny bit.

12I am so tired of giving it instructions - it will not refrain from its evil-mindedness. ||1||Pause||

13It has gone insane with the intoxication of Maya; it does not chant the Lord's Praise.

14Practicing deception, it tries to cheat the world, and so it fills its belly. ||1||

15Like a dog's tail, it cannot be straightened; it will not listen to what I tell it.

16Says Nanak, vibrate forever the Name of the Lord, and all your affairs shall be adjusted. ||2||1||

17Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehla:

18All things are mere diversions of life:

19mother, father, siblings, children, relatives and the wife of your home. ||1||Pause||

20When the soul is separated from the body, then they will cry out, calling you a ghost.

21No one will let you stay, for even half an hour; they drive you out of the house. ||1||

22The created world is like an illusion, a mirage - see this, and reflect upon it in your mind.

23Says Nanak, vibrate forever the Name of the Lord, which shall deliver you. ||2||2||

24Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehla:

25In this world, I have seen love to be false.

26Whether they are spouses or friends, all are concerned only with their own happiness. ||1||Pause||

27All say, ""Mine, mine"", and attach their consciousness to you with love.

28But at the very last moment, none shall go along with you. How strange are the ways of the world! ||1||

29The foolish mind has not yet reformed itself, although I have grown weary of continually instructing it.

30O Nanak, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, singing the Songs of God. ||2||3||6||38||47||
