1Raag Soohee, Third Mehla, Tenth House:

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

3Do not praise the world; it shall simply pass away.

4Do not praise other people; they shall die and turn to dust. ||1||

5Waaho! Waaho! Hail, hail to my Lord and Master.

6As Gurmukh, forever praise the One who is forever True, Independent and Carefree. ||1||Pause||

7Making worldly friendships, the self-willed manmukhs burn and die.

8In the City of Death, they are bound and gagged and beaten; this opportunity shall never come again. ||2||

9The lives of the Gurmukhs are fruitful and blessed; they are committed to the True Word of the Shabad.

10Their souls are illuminated by the Lord, and they dwell in peace and pleasure. ||3||

11Those who forget the Word of the Guru's Shabad are engrossed in the love of duality.

12Their hunger and thirst never leave them, and night and day, they wander around burning. ||4||

13Those who make friendships with the wicked, and harbor animosity to the Saints,

14shall drown with their families, and their entire lineage shall be obliterated. ||5||

15It is not good to slander anyone, but the foolish, self-willed manmukhs still do it.

16The faces of the slanderers turn black, and they fall into the most horrible hell. ||6||

17O mind, as you serve, so do you become, and so are the deeds that you do.

18Whatever you yourself plant, that is what you shall have to eat; nothing else can be said about this. ||7||

19The speech of the great spiritual beings has a higher purpose.

20They are filled to over-flowing with Ambrosial Nectar, and they have absolutely no greed at all. ||8||

21The virtuous accumulate virtue, and teach others.

22Those who meet with them are so very fortunate; night and day, they chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||9||

23He who created the Universe, gives sustenance to it.

24The One Lord alone is the Great Giver. He Himself is the True Master. ||10||

25That True Lord is always with you; the Gurmukh is blessed with His Glance of Grace.

26He Himself shall forgive you, and merge you into Himself; forever cherish and contemplate God. ||11||

27The mind is impure; only the True Lord is pure. So how can it merge into Him?

28God merges it into Himself, and then it remains merged; through the Word of His Shabad, the ego is burnt away. ||12||

29Cursed is the life in this world, of one who forgets her True Husband Lord.

30The Lord grants His Mercy, and she does not forget Him, if she contemplates the Guru's Teachings. ||13||

31The True Guru unites her, and so she remains united with Him, with the True Lord enshrined within her heart.

32And so united, she will not be separated again; she remains in the love and affection of the Guru. ||14||

33I praise my Husband Lord, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

34Meeting with my Beloved, I have found peace; I am His most beautiful and happy soul-bride. ||15||

35The mind of the self-willed manmukh is not softened; his consciousness is totally polluted and stone-hearted.

36Even if the venomous snake is fed on milk, it shall still be filled with poison. ||16||

37He Himself does - who else should I ask? He Himself is the Forgiving Lord.

38Through the Guru's Teachings, filth is washed away, and then, one is embellished with the ornament of Truth. ||17||
