1The wedding songs of murder are sung, O Nanak, and blood is sprinkled instead of saffron, O Lalo. ||1||

2Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord and Master in the city of corpses, and voices this account.

3The One who created, and attached the mortals to pleasures, sits alone, and watches this.

4The Lord and Master is True, and True is His justice. He issues His Commands according to His judgement.

5The body-fabric will be torn apart into shreds, and then India will remember these words.

6Coming in seventy-eight (1521 A.D.), they will depart in ninety-seven (1540 A.D.), and then another disciple of man will rise up.

7Nanak speaks the Word of Truth; he proclaims the Truth at this, the right time. ||2||3||5||

8Tilang, Fourth Mehla, Second House:

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10Everyone comes by Command of the Lord and Master. The Hukam of His Command extends to all.

11True is the Lord and Master, and True is His play. The Lord is the Master of all. ||1||

12So praise the True Lord; the Lord is the Master over all.

13No one is equal to Him; am I of any account? ||Pause||

14Air, water, earth and sky - the Lord has made these His home and temple.

15He Himself is pervading everywhere, O Nanak. Tell me: what can be counted as false? ||2||1||

16Tilang, Fourth Mehla:

17The evil-minded person continually does fruitless deeds, all puffed up with pride.

18When he brings home what he has acquired, by practicing deception and falsehood, he thinks that he has conquered the world. ||1||

19Such is the drama of the world, that he does not contemplate the Lord's Name.

20In an instant, all this false play shall perish; O my mind, meditate on the Lord. ||Pause||

21He does not think of that time, when Death, the Torturer, shall come and seize him.

22O Nanak, the Lord saves that one, within whose heart the Lord, in His Kind Mercy, dwells. ||2||2||

23Tilang, Fifth Mehla, First House:

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

25The Lord infused His Light into the dust, and created the world, the universe.

26The sky, the earth, the trees, and the water - all are the Creation of the Lord. ||1||

27O human being, whatever you can see with your eyes, shall perish.

28The world eats dead carcasses, living by neglect and greed. ||Pause||

29Like a goblin, or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat.

30So control your urges, or else you will be seized by the Lord, and thrown into the tortures of hell. ||2||

31Your benefactors, presents, companions, courts, lands and homes

32- when Azraa-eel, the Messenger of Death seizes you, what good will these be to you then? ||3||

33The Pure Lord God knows your condition.

34O Nanak, recite your prayer to the holy people. ||4||1||

35Tilang, Second House, Fifth Mehla:

36There is no other than You, Lord.

37You are the Creator; whatever You do, that alone happens.

38You are the strength, and You are the support of the mind.

39Forever and ever, meditate, O Nanak, on the One. ||1||

40The Great Giver is the Supreme Lord God over all.

41You are our support, You are our sustainer. ||Pause||
