1Says Nanak, loving the True Lord, the mind's egotism and self-conceit is eradicated.

2Those who speak and listen to the Lord's Name, all find peace. Those who believe in it, obtain the supreme treasure. ||4||4||

3Bilaaval, Third Mehla:

4The Lord Himself attaches the Gurmukh to His Love;

5joyful melodies permeate his home, and he is embellished with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

6The women come and sing the songs of joy.

7Meeting with their Beloved, lasting peace is obtained. ||1||

8I am a sacrifice to those, whose minds are filled with the Lord.

9Meeting with the humble servant of the Lord, peace is obtained, and one intuitively sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

10They are always imbued with Your Joyful Love;

11O Dear Lord, You Yourself come to dwell in their minds.

12They obtain eternal glory.

13The Gurmukhs are united in the Lord's Union. ||2||

14The Gurmukhs are imbued with the love of the Word of the Shabad.

15They abide in the home of their own being, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

16They are dyed in the deep crimson color of the Lord's Love; they look so beautiful.

17This dye never fades away; they are absorbed in the True Lord. ||3||

18The Shabad deep within the nucleus of the self dispels the darkness of ignorance.

19Meeting with my Friend, the True Guru, I have obtained spiritual wisdom.

20Those who are attuned to the True Lord, do not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation again.

21O Nanak, my Perfect Guru implants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, deep within. ||4||5||

22Bilaaval, Third Mehla:

23From the Perfect Guru, I have obtained glorious greatness.

24The Naam, the Name of the Lord, has spontaneously come to abide in my mind.

25Through the Word of the Shabad, I have burnt away egotism and Maya.

26Through the Guru, I have obtained honor in the Court of the True Lord. ||1||

27I serve the Lord of the Universe; I have no other work to do.

28Night and day, my mind is in ecstasy; as Gurmukh, I beg for the bliss-giving Naam. ||1||Pause||

29From the mind itself, mental faith is obtained.

30Through the Guru, I have realized the Shabad.

31How rare is that person, who looks upon life and death alike.

32She shall never die again, and shall not have to see the Messenger of Death. ||2||

33Within the home of the self are all the millions of treasures.

34The True Guru has revealed them, and my egotistical pride is gone.

35I keep my meditation always focused on the Cosmic Lord.

36Night and day, I sing the One Name. ||3||

37I have obtained glorious greatness in this age,

38from the Perfect Guru, meditating on the Naam.

39Wherever I look, I see the Lord permeating and pervading.

40He is forever the Giver of peace; His worth cannot be estimated. ||4||

41By perfect destiny, I have found the Perfect Guru.

42He has revealed to me the treasure of the Naam, deep within the nucleus of my self.

43The Word of the Guru's Shabad is so very sweet.

44O Nanak, my thirst is quenched, and my mind and body have found peace. ||5||6||4||6||10||

45Raag Bilaaval, Fourth Mehla, Third House:

46One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

47Effort and intelligence come from God, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts; as He wills, they act.

48As the violinist plays upon the strings of the violin, so does the Lord play the living beings. ||1||
