1Nanak has served the Perfect Guru, O my soul, who causes all to fall at His feet. ||3||

2Serve such a Lord continuously, O my soul, who is the Great Lord and Master of all.

3Those who single-mindedly worship Him in adoration, O my soul, are not subservient to anyone.

4Serving the Guru, I have obtained the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, O my soul; all the slanderers and trouble-makers bark in vain.

5Servant Nanak has meditated on the Name, O my soul; such is the pre-ordained destiny which the Lord written on his forehead. ||4||5||

6Bihaagraa, Fourth Mehla:

7All beings are Yours - You permeate them all. O my Lord God, You know what they do in their hearts.

8The Lord is with them, inwardly and outwardly, O my soul; He sees everything, but the mortal denies the Lord in his mind.

9The Lord is far away from the self-willed manmukhs, O my soul; all their efforts are in vain.

10Servant Nanak, as Gurmukh, meditates on the Lord, O my soul; he beholds the Lord ever-present. ||1||

11They are devotees, and they are servants, O my soul, who are pleasing to the Mind of my God.

12They are robed in honor in the Court of the Lord, O my soul; night and day, they remain absorbed in the True Lord.

13In their company, the filth of one's sins is washed away, O my soul; imbued with the Lord's Love, one comes to bear the Mark of His Grace.

14Nanak offers his prayer to God, O my soul; joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he is satisfied. ||2||

15O tongue, chant the Name of God; O my soul, chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, your desires shall be extinguished.

16He, unto whom my Supreme Lord God shows Mercy, O my soul, enshrines the Name in his mind.

17One who meets the Perfect True Guru, O my soul, obtains the treasure of the Lord's wealth.

18By great good fortune, one joins the Company of the Holy, O my soul. O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

19In the places and interspaces, O my soul, the Supreme Lord God, the Great Giver, is pervading.

20His limits cannot be found, O my soul; He is the Perfect Architect of Destiny.

21He cherishes all beings, O my soul, as the mother and father cherish their child.

22By thousands of clever tricks, He cannot be obtained, O my soul; servant Nanak, as Gurmukh, has come to know the Lord. ||4||6||
