1You don't have the bracelets of gold, nor the good crystal jewelry; you haven't dealt with the true jeweller.

2Those arms, which do not embrace the neck of the Husband Lord, burn in anguish.

3All my companions have gone to enjoy their Husband Lord; which door should I, the wretched one, go to?

4O friend, I may look very attractive, but I am not pleasing to my Husband Lord at all.

5I have woven my hair into lovely braids, and saturated their partings with vermillion;

6but when I go before Him, I am not accepted, and I die, suffering in anguish.

7I weep; the whole world weeps; even the birds of the forest weep with me.

8The only thing which doesn't weep is my body's sense of separateness, which has separated me from my Lord.

9In a dream, He came, and went away again; I cried so many tears.

10I can't come to You, O my Beloved, and I can't send anyone to You.

11Come to me, O blessed sleep - perhaps I will see my Husband Lord again.

12One who brings me a message from my Lord and Master - says Nanak, what shall I give to Him?

13Cutting off my head, I give it to Him to sit upon; without my head, I shall still serve Him.

14Why haven't I died? Why hasn't my life just ended? My Husband Lord has become a stranger to me. ||1||3||

15Wadahans, Third Mehla, First House:

16One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

17When the mind is filthy, everything is filthy; by washing the body, the mind is not cleaned.

18This world is deluded by doubt; how rare are those who understand this. ||1||

19O my mind, chant the One Name.

20The True Guru has given me this treasure. ||1||Pause||

21Even if one learns the Yogic postures of the Siddhas, and holds his sexual energy in check,

22still, the filth of the mind is not removed, and the filth of egotism is not eliminated. ||2||

23This mind is not controlled by any other discipline, except the Sanctuary of the True Guru.

24Meeting the True Guru, one is transformed beyond description. ||3||

25Prays Nanak, one who dies upon meeting the True Guru, shall be rejuvenated through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

26The filth of his attachment and possessiveness shall depart, and his mind shall become pure. ||4||1||

27Wadahans, Third Mehla:

28By His Grace, one serves the True Guru; by His Grace, service is performed.

29By His grace, this mind is controlled, and by His Grace, it becomes pure. ||1||

30O my mind, think of the True Lord.

31Think of the One Lord, and you shall obtain peace; you shall never suffer in sorrow again. ||1||Pause||

32By His Grace, one dies while yet alive, and by His Grace, the Word of the Shabad is enshrined in the mind.

33By His Grace, one understands the Hukam of the Lord's Command, and by His Command, one merges into the Lord. ||2||

34That tongue, which does not savor the sublime essence of the Lord - may that tongue be burned off!

35It remains attached to other pleasures, and through the love of duality, it suffers in pain. ||3||

36The One Lord grants His Grace to all; He Himself makes distinctions.

37O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, the fruits are obtained, and one is blessed with the Glorious Greatness of the Naam. ||4||2||
