1My tongue tastes the taste of the Lord's joyous song; O Nanak, the Naam shines forth brightly. ||2||

2The Gurmukh loves the Name of the Lord; deep within, she contemplates the jewel of the Naam.

3Those who love the Lord's Name are emancipated through the Word of the Shabad. The darkness of ignorance is dispelled.

4Spiritual wisdom burns brilliantly, illuminating the heart; their homes and temples are embellished and blessed.

5I have made my body and mind into adornments, and dedicated them to the True Lord God, pleasing Him.

6Whatever God says, I gladly do. O Nanak, I have merged into the fiber of His Being. ||3||

7The Lord God has arranged the marriage ceremony;

8He has come to marry the Gurmukh.

9He has come to marry the Gurmukh, who has found the Lord. That bride is very dear to her Lord.

10The humble Saints join together and sing the songs of joy; the Dear Lord Himself has adorned the soul-bride.

11The angels and mortal beings, the heavenly heralds and celestial singers, have come together and formed a wondrous wedding party.

12O Nanak, I have found my True Lord God, who never dies, and is not born. ||4||1||3||

13Raag Soohee, Chhant, Fourth Mehla, Third House:

14One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

15Come, humble Saints, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.

16Let us gather together as Gurmukh; within the home of our own heart, the Shabad vibrates and resonates.

17The many melodies of the Shabad are Yours, O Lord God; O Creator Lord, You are everywhere.

18Day and night, I chant His Praises forever, lovingly focusing on the True Word of the Shabad.

19Night and day, I remain intuitively attuned to the Lord's Love; in my heart, I worship the Lord's Name.

20O Nanak, as Gurmukh, I have realized the One Lord; I do not know any other. ||1||

21He is contained amongst all; He is God, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

22One who meditates and dwells upon God, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, knows that God, my Lord and Master, is pervading everywhere.

23God, my Lord and Master, is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts; He pervades and permeates each and every heart.

24Through the Guru's Teachings, Truth is obtained, and then, one merges in celestial bliss. There is no other than Him.

25I sing His Praises with intuitive ease. If it pleases God, He shall unite me with Himself.

26O Nanak, through the Shabad, God is known; meditate on the Naam, day and night. ||2||

27This world is treacherous and impassable; the self-willed manmukh cannot cross over.

28Within him is egotism, self-conceit, sexual desire, anger and cleverness.

29Within him is cleverness; he is not approved, and his life is uselessly wasted and lost.

30On the Path of Death, he suffers in pain, and must endure abuse; in the end, he departs regretfully.

31Without the Name, he has no friends, no children, family or relatives.

32O Nanak, the wealth of Maya, attachment and ostentatious shows - none of them shall go along with him to the world hereafter. ||3||

33I ask my True Guru, the Giver, how to cross over the treacherous and difficult world-ocean.

34Walk in harmony with the True Guru's Will, and remain dead while yet alive.

35Remaining dead while yet alive, cross over the terrifying world-ocean; as Gurmukh, merge in the Naam.
