1Such is the Name of the Immaculate, Divine Lord.

2I am just a beggar; You are invisible and unknowable. ||1||Pause||

3Love of Maya is like a cursed woman, ugly, dirty and promiscuous.

4Power and beauty are false, and last for only a few days.

5But when one is blessed with the Naam, the darkness within is illuminated. ||2||

6I tasted Maya and renounced it, and now, I have no doubts.

7One whose father is known, cannot be illegitimate.

8One who belongs to the One Lord, has no fear.

9The Creator acts, and causes all to act. ||3||

10One who dies in the Word of the Shabad conquers his mind, through his mind.

11Keeping his mind restrained, he enshrines the True Lord within his heart.

12He does not know any other, and he is a sacrifice to the Guru.

13O Nanak, attuned to the Naam, he is emancipated. ||4||3||

14Bilaaval, First Mehla:

15Through the Word of the Guru's Teachings, the mind intuitively meditates on the Lord.

16Imbued with the Lord's Love, the mind is satisfied.

17The insane, self-willed manmukhs wander around, deluded by doubt.

18Without the Lord, how can anyone survive? Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is realized. ||1||

19Without the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, how can I live, O my mother?

20Without the Lord, my soul cannot survive, even for an instant; the True Guru has helped me understand this. ||1||Pause||

21Forgetting my God, I die in pain.

22With each breath and morsel of food, I meditate on my Lord, and seek Him.

23I remain always detached, but I am enraptured with the Lord's Name.

24Now, as Gurmukh, I know that the Lord is always with me. ||2||

25The Unspoken Speech is spoken, by the Will of the Guru.

26He shows us that God is unapproachable and unfathomable.

27Without the Guru, what lifestyle could we practice, and what work could we do?

28Eradicating egotism, and walking in harmony with the Guru's Will, I am absorbed in the Word of the Shabad. ||3||

29The self-willed manmukhs are separated from the Lord, gathering false wealth.

30The Gurmukhs are celebrated with the glory of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

31The Lord has showered His Mercy upon me, and made me the slave of His slaves.

32The Name of the Lord is the wealth and capital of servant Nanak. ||4||4||

33Bilaaval, Third Mehla, First House:

34One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

35Cursed, cursed is the food; cursed, cursed is the sleep; cursed, cursed are the clothes worn on the body.

36Cursed is the body, along with family and friends, when one does not find his Lord and Master in this life.

37He misses the step of the ladder, and this opportunity will not come into his hands again; his life is wasted, uselessly. ||1||

38The love of duality does not allow him to lovingly focus his attention on the Lord; he forgets the Feet of the Lord.

39O Life of the World, O Great Giver, you eradicate the sorrows of your humble servants. ||1||Pause||

40You are Merciful, O Great Giver of Mercy; what are these poor beings?

41All are liberated or placed into bondage by You; this is all one can say.

42One who becomes Gurmukh is said to be liberated, while the poor self-willed manmukhs are in bondage. ||2||

43He alone is liberated, who lovingly focuses his attention on the One Lord, always dwelling with the Lord.

44His depth and condition cannot be described. The True Lord Himself embellishes him.
