1Wadahans, Third Mehla:

2Emotional attachment to Maya is darkness; without the Guru, there is no wisdom.

3Those who are attached to the Word of the Shabad understand; duality has ruined the people. ||1||

4O my mind, under Guru's Instruction, do good deeds.

5Dwell forever and ever upon the Lord God, and you shall find the gate of salvation. ||1||Pause||

6The Lord alone is the treasure of virtue; He Himself gives, and then one receives.

7Without the Name, all are separated from the Lord; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one meets the Lord. ||2||

8Acting in ego, they lose, and nothing comes into their hands.

9Meeting the True Guru, they find Truth, and merge into the True Name. ||3||

10Hope and desire abide in this body, but the Lord's Light shines within as well.

11O Nanak, the self-willed manmukhs remain in bondage; the Gurmukhs are liberated. ||4||3||

12Wadahans, Third Mehla:

13The faces of the happy soul-brides are radiant forever; through the Guru, they are peacefully poised.

14They enjoy their Husband Lord constantly, eradicating their ego from within. ||1||

15O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

16The True Guru has led me to understand the Lord. ||1||Pause||

17The abandoned brides cry out in their suffering; they do not attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

18In the love of duality, they appear so ugly; they suffer in pain as they go to the world beyond. ||2||

19The virtuous soul-bride constantly chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord; she enshrines the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within her heart.

20The unvirtuous woman suffers, and cries out in pain. ||3||

21The One Lord and Master is the Husband Lord of all; His Praises cannot be expressed.

22O Nanak, He has separated some from Himself, while others are to His Name. ||4||4||

23Wadahans, Third Mehla:

24The Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam is always sweet to me; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I come to taste it.

25Through the True Word of the Guru's Bani, I am merged in peace and poise; the Dear Lord is enshrined in the mind. ||1||

26The Lord, showing His Mercy, has caused me to meet the True Guru.

27Through the Perfect True Guru, I meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

28Through Brahma, the hymns of the Vedas were revealed, but the love of Maya spread.

29The wise one, Shiva, remains absorbed in himself, but he is engrossed in dark passions and excessive egotism. ||2||

30Vishnu is always busy reincarnating himself - who will save the world?

31The Gurmukhs are imbued with spiritual wisdom in this age; they are rid of the darkness of emotional attachment. ||3||

32Serving the True Guru, one is emancipated; the Gurmukh crosses over the world-ocean.

33The detached renunciates are imbued with the True Name; they attain the gate of salvation. ||4||

34The One True Lord is pervading and permeating everywhere; He cherishes everyone.

35O Nanak, without the One Lord, I do not know any other; He is the Merciful Master of all. ||5||5||

36Wadahans, Third Mehla:

37The Gurmukh practices true self-discipline, and attains the essence of wisdom.

38The Gurmukh meditates on the True Lord. ||1||
