1In their minds, the Gurmukhs do not forget the Dear Lord, the Primal Creator Lord.

2Pain, disease and fear do not cling to those who meditate on the Lord, Har, Har.

3By the Grace of the Saints, they cross over the terrifying world-ocean, and obtain their pre-ordained destiny.

4They are congratulated and applauded, their minds are at peace, and they meet the infinite Lord God.

5Prays Nanak, by meditating in remembrance on the Lord, Har, Har, my desires are fulfilled. ||4||3||

7One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

8O peaceful night, grow longer - I have come to enshrine love for my Beloved.

9O painful sleep, grow shorter, so that I may constantly grasp His Feet.

10I long for the dust of His Feet, and beg for His Name; for His Love, I have renounced the world.

11I am imbued with the Love of my Beloved, and I am naturally intoxicated with it; I have forsaken my awful evil-mindedness.

12He has taken me by the arm, and I am saturated with His Love; I have met my Beloved on the Path of Truth.

13Prays Nanak, please Lord, shower Your Mercy on me, that I may remain attached to Your Feet. ||1||

14O my friends and companions, let us remain attached to the Feet of God.

15Within my mind is great love for my Beloved; I beg for the Lord's devotional worship.

16The Lord's devotional worship is obtained, meditating on God. Let us go and meet the humble servants of the Lord.

17Renounce pride, emotional attachment and corruption, and dedicate this body, wealth and mind to Him.

18The Lord God is great, perfect, glorious, absolutely perfect; meeting the Lord, Har, Har, the wall of doubt is torn down.

19Prays Nanak, hear these teachings, O friends - chant the Lord's Name constantly, over and over again. ||2||

20The Lord's bride is a happy wife; she enjoys all pleasures.

21She does not sit around like a widow, because the Lord God lives forever.

22She does not suffer pain - she meditates on God. She is blessed, and very fortunate.

23She sleeps in peaceful ease, her sins are erased, and she wakes to the joy and love of the Naam.

24She remains absorbed in her Beloved - the Lord's Name is her ornament. The Words of her Beloved are sweet and pleasing to her.

25Prays Nanak, I have obtained my mind's desires; I have met my eternal Husband Lord. ||3||

26The songs of bliss resound, and millions of pleasures are found in that house;

27the mind and body are permeated by God, the Lord of supreme bliss.

28My Husband Lord is infinite and merciful; He is the Lord of wealth, the Lord of the Universe, the Saving Grace of sinners.

29God, the Giver of mercy, the Lord, the Destroyer of pride, carries us across the terrifying world-ocean of poison.

30The Lord lovingly embraces whoever comes to the Lord's Sanctuary - this is the way of the Lord and Master.

31Prays Nanak, I have met my Husband Lord, who plays with me forever. ||4||1||4||

32Bihaagraa, Fifth Mehla:

33The Lord's Feet are the Pools of Ambrosial Nectar; your dwelling is there, O my mind.
