1The Perfect Guru leads me to meet my Beloved; I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru. ||1||Pause||

2My body is over-flowing with corruption;

3how can I meet my Perfect Beloved? ||2||

4The virtuous ones obtain my Beloved;

5I do not have these virtues. How can I meet Him, O my mother? ||3||

6I am so tired of making all these efforts.

7Please protect Nanak, the meek one, O my Lord. ||4||1||

8Wadahans, Fourth Mehla:

9My Lord God is so beautiful. I do not know His worth.

10Abandoning my Lord God, I have become entangled in duality. ||1||

11How can I meet with my Husband? I don't know.

12She who pleases her Husband Lord is a happy soul-bride. She meets with her Husband Lord - she is so wise. ||1||Pause||

13I am filled with faults; how can I attain my Husband Lord?

14You have many loves, but I am not in Your thoughts, O my Husband Lord. ||2||

15She who enjoys her Husband Lord, is the good soul-bride.

16I don't have these virtues; what can I, the discarded bride, do? ||3||

17The soul-bride continually, constantly enjoys her Husband Lord.

18I have no good fortune; will He ever hold me close in His embrace? ||4||

19You, O Husband Lord, are meritorious, while I am without merit.

20I am worthless; please forgive Nanak, the meek. ||5||2||

21Wadahans, Fourth Mehla, Second House:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23Within my mind there is such a great yearning; how will I attain the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan?

24I go and ask my True Guru; with the Guru's advice, I shall teach my foolish mind.

25The foolish mind is instructed in the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and meditates forever on the Lord, Har, Har.

26O Nanak, one who is blessed with the Mercy of my Beloved, focuses his consciousness on the Lord's Feet. ||1||

27I dress myself in all sorts of robes for my Husband, so that my True Lord God will be pleased.

28But my Beloved Husband Lord does not even cast a glance in my direction; how can I be consoled?

29For His sake, I adorn myself with adornments, but my Husband is imbued with the love of another.

30O Nanak, blessed, blessed, blessed is that soul-bride, who enjoys her True, Sublime Husband Lord. ||2||

31I go and ask the fortunate, happy soul-bride, ""How did you attain Him - your Husband Lord, my God?""

32She answers, ""My True Husband blessed me with His Mercy; I abandoned the distinction between mine and yours.

33Dedicate everything, mind, body and soul, to the Lord God; this is the Path to meet Him, O sister.""

34If her God gazes upon her with favor, O Nanak, her light merges into the Light. ||3||

35I dedicate my mind and body to the one who brings me a message from my Lord God.

36I wave the fan over him every day, serve him and carry water for him.

37Constantly and continuously, I serve the Lord's humble servant, who recites to me the sermon of the Lord, Har, Har.
