1They drink in the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar, and become eternally stable. They know that the water of corruption is insipid and tasteless.

2When my God, the Lord of the Universe became merciful, I came to look upon the Saadh Sangat as the treasure.

3All pleasures and supreme ecstasy, O my Beloved, come to those who sew the Jewel of the Lord into their minds.

4They do not forget, even for an instant, the Support of the breath of life. They live by constantly meditating on Him, O Nanak. ||3||

5Dakhanaa:

6O Lord, You meet and merge with those whom you have made Your Own.

7You Yourself are entranced, O Nanak, hearing Your Own Praises. ||1||

8Chhant:

9Administering the intoxicating drug of love, I have won over the Lord of the Universe; I have fascinated His Mind.

10By the Grace of the Saints, I am held in the loving embrace of the Unfathomable Lord, and I am entranced.

11Held in the Lord's loving embrace, I look beautiful, and all my pains have been dispelled. By the loving worship of His devotees, the Lord has come under their power.

12All pleasures have come to dwell in the mind; the Lord of the Universe is pleased and appeased. Birth and death have been totally eliminated.

13O my companions, sing the Songs of Joy. My desires have been fulfilled, and I shall never again be trapped or shaken by Maya.

14Taking hold of my hand, O Nanak, my Beloved God will not let me be swallowed up by the world-ocean. ||4||

15Dakhanaa:

16The Master's Name is Priceless; no one knows its value.

17Those who have good destiny recorded upon their foreheads, O Nanak, enjoy the Love of the Lord. ||1||

18Chhant:

19Those who chant are sanctified. All those who listen are blessed, and those who write save their ancestors.

20Those who join the Saadh Sangat are imbued with the Lord's Love; they reflect and meditate on God.

21Contemplating God, their lives are reformed and redeemed; God has showered His Perfect Mercy upon them.

22Taking them by the hand, the Lord has blessed them with His Praises. They no longer have to wander in reincarnation, and they never have to die.

23Through the Kind and Compassionate True Guru, I have met the Lord; I have conquered sexual desire, anger and greed.

24Our Indescribable Lord and Master cannot be described. Nanak is devoted, forever a sacrifice to Him. ||5||1||3||

25Siree Raag, Fourth Mehla, Vanajaaraa ~ The Merchant:

26One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. By Guru's Grace:

27The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is Excellent and Sublime. He created everyone.

28The Lord cherishes all beings. He permeates each and every heart.

29Meditate forever on that Lord. Without Him, there is no other at all.

30Those who focus their consciousness on emotional attachment to Maya must leave; they depart crying out in despair.

31Servant Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, his only Companion in the end. ||1||

32I have none other than You, O Lord.

33In the Guru's Sanctuary, the Lord is found, O my merchant friend; by great good fortune, He is obtained. ||1||Pause||
