1Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehla:

2The Lord, Har, Har, is the rain-drop; I am the song-bird, crying, crying out for it.

3O Lord God, please bless me with Your Mercy, and pour Your Name into my mouth, even if for only an instant. ||1||

4Without the Lord, I cannot live for even a second.

5Like the addict who dies without his drug, I die without the Lord. ||Pause||

6You, Lord, are the deepest, most unfathomable ocean; I cannot find even a trace of Your limits.

7You are the most remote of the remote, limitless and transcendent; O Lord Master, You alone know Your state and extent. ||2||

8The Lord's humble Saints meditate on the Lord; they are imbued with the deep crimson color of the Guru's Love.

9Meditating on the Lord, they attain great glory, and the most sublime honor. ||3||

10He Himself is the Lord and Master, and He Himself is the servant; He Himself creates His environments.

11Servant Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O Lord; protect and preserve the honor of Your devotee. ||4||5||

12Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehla:

13Tell me, O Siblings of Destiny, the religion for this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. I seek emancipation - how can I be emancipated?

14Meditation on the Lord, Har, Har, is the boat, the raft; meditating on the Lord, the swimmer swims across. ||1||

15O Dear Lord, protect and preserve the honor of Your humble servant.

16O Lord, Har, Har, please make me chant the chant of Your Name; I beg only for Your devotional worship. ||Pause||

17The Lord's servants are very dear to the Lord; they chant the Word of the Lord's Bani.

18The account of the recording angels, Chitr and Gupt, and the account with the Messenger of Death is totally erased. ||2||

19The Saints of the Lord meditate on the Lord in their minds; they join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

20The piercing sun of desires has set, and the cool moon has risen. ||3||

21You are the Greatest Being, absolutely unapproachable and unfathomable; You created the Universe from Your Own Being.

22O God, take pity on servant Nanak, and make him the slave of the slave of Your slaves. ||4||6||

23Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehla, Fifth House, Dho-Padhay:

24One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

25Enshrine the Lord within your heart, and contemplate Him. Dwell upon Him, reflect upon Him, and chant the Name of the Lord, the Enticer of hearts.

26The Lord Master is unseen, unfathomable and unreachable; through the Perfect Guru, He is revealed. ||1||

27The Lord is the philosopher's stone, which transforms lead into gold, and sandalwood, while I am just dry wood and iron.

28Associating with the Lord, and the Sat Sangat, the Lord's True Congregation, the Lord has transformed me into gold and sandalwood. ||1||Pause||

29One may repeat, verbatim, the nine grammars and the six Shaastras, but my Lord God is not pleased by this.

30O servant Nanak, meditate forever on the Lord in your heart; this is what pleases my Lord God. ||2||1||7||
