1This emotional attachment to Maya shall not go with you; it is false to fall in love with it.

2The entire night of your life has passed away in darkness; but by serving the True Guru, the Divine Light shall dawn within.

3Says Nanak, O mortal, in the fourth watch of the night, that day is drawing near! ||4||

4Receiving the summons from the Lord of the Universe, O my merchant friend, you must arise and depart with the actions you have committed.

5You are not allowed a moment's delay, O my merchant friend; the Messenger of Death seizes you with firm hands.

6Receiving the summons, people are seized and dispatched. The self-willed manmukhs are miserable forever.

7But those who serve the Perfect True Guru are forever happy in the Court of the Lord.

8The body is the field of karma in this age; whatever you plant, you shall harvest.

9Says Nanak, the devotees look beautiful in the Court of the Lord; the self-willed manmukhs wander forever in reincarnation. ||5||1||4||

10Siree Raag, Fourth Mehla, Second House, Chhant:

11One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

12How can the ignorant soul-bride obtain the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, while she is in this world of her father's home?

13When the Lord Himself grants His Grace, the Gurmukh learns the duties of her Husband's Celestial Home.

14The Gurmukh learns the duties of her Husband's Celestial Home; she meditates forever on the Lord, Har, Har.

15She walks happily among her companions, and in the Lord's Court, she swings her arms joyfully.

16Her account is cleared by the Righteous Judge of Dharma, when she chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

17The ignorant soul-bride becomes Gurmukh, and gains the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, while she is still in her father's house. ||1||

18My marriage has been performed, O my father. As Gurmukh, I have found the Lord.

19The darkness of ignorance has been dispelled. The Guru has revealed the blazing light of spiritual wisdom.

20This spiritual wisdom given by the Guru shines forth, and the darkness has been dispelled. I have found the Priceless Jewel of the Lord.

21The sickness of my ego has been dispelled, and my pain is over and done. Through the Guru's Teachings, my identity has consumed my identical identity.

22I have obtained my Husband Lord, the Akaal Moorat, the Undying Form. He is Imperishable; He shall never die, and He shall never ever leave.

23My marriage has been performed, O my father. As Gurmukh, I have found the Lord. ||2||

24The Lord is the Truest of the True, O my father. Meeting with the humble servants of the Lord, the marriage procession looks beautiful.

25She who chants the Lord's Name is happy in this world of her father's home, and in the next world of her Husband Lord, she shall be very beautiful.

26In her Husband Lord's Celestial Home, she shall be most beautiful, if she has remembered the Naam in this world.

27Fruitful are the lives of those who, as Gurmukh, have conquered their minds-they have won the game of life.

28Joining with the humble Saints of the Lord, my actions bring prosperity, and I have obtained the Lord of Bliss as my Husband.

29The Lord is the Truest of the True, O my father. Joining with the humble servants of the Lord, the marriage party has been embellished. ||3||

30O my father, give me the Name of the Lord God as my wedding gift and dowry.
