1Those Sikhs of the Guru, who serve the Guru, are the most blessed beings.

2Servant Nanak is a sacrifice to them; He is forever and ever a sacrifice. ||10||

3The Lord Himself is pleased with the Gurmukhs, the fellowship of the companions.

4In the Lord's Court, they are given robes of honor, and the Lord Himself hugs them close in His embrace. ||11||

5Please bless me with the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of those Gurmukhs, who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

6I wash their feet, and drink in the dust of their feet, dissolved in the wash water. ||12||

7Those who eat betel nuts and betel leaf and smoke intoxicants,

8but do not contemplate the Lord, Har, Har - the Messenger of Death will seize them and take them away. ||13||

9The Messenger of Death does not even approach those who contemplate the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and keep Him enshrined in their hearts. The Guru's Sikhs are the Guru's Beloveds. ||14||

10The Name of the Lord is a treasure, known only to the few Gurmukhs.

11O Nanak, those who meet with the True Guru, enjoy peace and pleasure. ||15||

12The True Guru is called the Giver; in His Mercy, He grants His Grace.

13I am forever a sacrifice to the Guru, who has blessed me with the Lord's Name. ||16||

14Blessed, very blessed is the Guru, who brings the Lord's message.

15I gaze upon the Guru, the Guru, the True Guru embodied, and I blossom forth in bliss. ||17||

16The Guru's tongue recites Words of Ambrosial Nectar; He is adorned with the Lord's Name.

17Those Sikhs who hear and obey the Guru - all their desires depart. ||18||

18Some speak of the Lord's Path; tell me, how can I walk on it?

19O Lord, Har, Har, Your Name is my supplies; I will take it with me and set out. ||19||

20Those Gurmukhs who worship and adore the Lord, are wealthy and very wise.

21I am forever a sacrifice to the True Guru; I am absorbed in the Words of the Guru's Teachings. ||20||

22You are the Master, my Lord and Master; You are my Ruler and King.

23If it is pleasing to Your Will, then I worship and serve You; You are the treasure of virtue. ||21||

24The Lord Himself is absolute; He is The One and Only; but He Himself is also manifested in many forms.

25Whatever pleases Him, O Nanak, that alone is good. ||22||2||

26Tilang, Ninth Mehla, Kaafee:

27One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

28If you are conscious, then be conscious of Him night and day, O mortal.

29Each and every moment, your life is passing away, like water from a cracked pitcher. ||1||Pause||

30Why do you not sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, you ignorant fool?

31You are attached to false greed, and you do not even consider death. ||1||

32Even now, no harm has been done, if you will only sing God's Praises.

33Says Nanak, by meditating and vibrating upon Him, you shall obtain the state of fearlessness. ||2||1||

34Tilang, Ninth Mehla:

35Wake up, O mind! Wake up! Why are you sleeping unaware?

36That body, which you were born with, shall not go along with you in the end. ||1||Pause||

37Mother, father, children and relatives whom you love,

38will throw your body into the fire, when your soul departs from it. ||1||
