1O my mind, enshrine love for the Name of the Lord.

2The Guru, satisfied and pleased, taught me about the Lord, and my Sovereign Lord King met with me at once. ||1||Pause||

3The self-willed manmukh is like the ignorant bride, who comes and goes again and again in reincarnation.

4The Lord God does not come into her consciousness, and her mind is stuck in the love of duality. ||2||

5I am full of filth, and I practice evil deeds; O Lord, save me, be with me, merge me into Your Being!

6The Guru has bathed me in the pool of Ambrosial Nectar, and all my dirty sins and mistakes have been washed away. ||3||

7O Lord God, Merciful to the meek and the poor, please unite me with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

8Joining the Sangat, servant Nanak has obtained the Lord's Love; my mind and body are drenched in it. ||4||3||

9Soohee, Fourth Mehla:

10One who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, while constantly practicing deception, shall never become pure of heart.

11He may perform all sorts of rituals, night and day, but he shall not find peace, even in dreams. ||1||

12O wise ones, without the Guru, there is no devotional worship.

13The untreated cloth does not take up the dye, no matter how much everyone may wish it. ||1||Pause||

14The self-willed manmukh may perform chants, meditations, austere self-discipline, fasts and devotional worship, but his sickness does not go away.

15Deep within him is the sickness of excessive egotism; in the love of duality he is ruined. ||2||

16Outwardly, he wears religious robes and he is very clever, but his mind wanders in the ten directions.

17Engrossed in ego, he does not remember the Word of the Shabad; over and over again, he is reincarnated. ||3||

18O Nanak, that mortal who is blessed with the Lord's Glance of Grace, understands Him; that humble servant meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

19By Guru's Grace, he understands the One Lord, and is absorbed into the One Lord. ||4||4||

20Soohee, Fourth Mehla, Second House:

21One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

22Following the Guru's Teachings, I searched and searched the body-village;

23I found the wealth of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

24The Lord, Har, Har, has enshrined peace within my mind.

25The fire of desire was extinguished in an instant, when I met the Guru; all my hunger has been satisfied. ||1||Pause||

26Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I live, O my mother.

27The Merciful True Guru implanted the Glorious Praises of the Naam within me. ||2||

28I search for and seek out my Beloved Lord God, Har, Har.

29Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, I have obtained the subtle essence of the Lord. ||3||

30By the pre-ordained destiny inscribed upon my forehead, I have found the Lord.

31Guru Nanak, pleased and satisfied, has united me with the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny. ||4||1||5||

32Soohee, Fourth Mehla:

33Showering His Mercy, the Lord imbues the mind with His Love.

34The Gurmukh merges in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

35Imbued with the Lord's Love, the mortal enjoys the pleasure of His Love.

36He remains always blissful, day and night, and he merges into the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect Guru. ||1||Pause||

37Everyone longs for the Lord's Love;

38the Gurmukh is imbued with the deep red color of His Love. ||2||

39The foolish, self-willed manmukh is left pale and uncolored.
