1Dhanaasaree, Chhant, Fourth Mehla, First House:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3When the Dear Lord grants His Grace, one meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

4Meeting the True Guru, through loving faith and devotion, one intuitively sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

5Singing His Glorious Praises continually, night and day, one blossoms forth, when it is pleasing to the True Lord.

6Egotism, self-conceit and Maya are forsaken, and he is intuitively absorbed into the Naam.

7The Creator Himself acts; when He gives, then we receive.

8When the Dear Lord grants His Grace, we meditate on the Naam. ||1||

9Deep within, I feel true love for the Perfect True Guru.

10I serve Him day and night; I never forget Him.

11I never forget Him; I remember Him night and day. When I chant the Naam, then I live.

12With my ears, I hear about Him, and my mind is satisfied. As Gurmukh, I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar.

13If He bestows His Glance of Grace, then I shall meet the True Guru; my discriminating intellect would contemplate Him, night and day.

14Deep within, I feel true love for the Perfect True Guru. ||2||

15By great good fortune, one joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation; then, one comes to savor the subtle essence of the Lord.

16Night and day, he remains lovingly focused on the Lord; he merges in celestial peace.

17Merging in celestial peace, he becomes pleasing to the Lord's Mind; he remains forever unattached and untouched.

18He receives honor in this world and the next, lovingly focused on the Lord's Name.

19He is liberated from both pleasure and pain; he is pleased by whatever God does.

20By great good fortune, one joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, and then, one comes to savor the subtle essence of the Lord. ||3||

21In the love of duality, there is pain and suffering; the Messenger of Death eyes the self-willed manmukhs.

22They cry and howl, day and night, caught by the pain of Maya.

23Caught by the pain of Maya, provoked by his ego, he passes his life crying out, ""Mine, mine!"".

24He does not remember God, the Giver, and in the end, he departs regretting and repenting.

25Without the Name, nothing shall go along with him; not his children, spouse or the enticements of Maya.

26In the love of duality, there is pain and suffering; the Messenger of Death eyes the self-willed manmukhs. ||4||

27Granting His Grace, the Lord has merged me with Himself; I have found the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

28I remain standing with my palms pressed together; I have become pleasing to God's Mind.

29When one is pleasing to God's Mind, then he merges in the Hukam of the Lord's Command; surrendering to His Hukam, he finds peace.

30Night and day, he chants the Lord's Name, day and night; intuitively, naturally, he meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

31Through the Naam, the glorious greatness of the Naam is obtained; the Naam is pleasing to Nanak's mind.

32Granting His Grace, the Lord has merged me with Himself; I have found the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||5||1||
