1One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

2Vaar Of Siree Raag, Fourth Mehla, With Shaloks:

3Shalok, Third Mehla:

4Among the ragas, Siree Raag is the best, if it inspires you to enshrine love for the True Lord.

5The True Lord comes to abide forever in the mind, and your understanding becomes steady and unequalled.

6The priceless jewel is obtained, by contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

7The tongue becomes true, the mind becomes true, and the body becomes true as well.

8O Nanak, forever true are the dealings of those who serve the True Guru. ||1||

9Third Mehla:

10All other loves are transitory, as long as people do not love their Lord and Master.

11This mind is enticed by Maya-it cannot see or hear.

12Without seeing her Husband Lord, love does not well up; what can the blind person do?

13O Nanak, the True One who takes away the eyes of spiritual wisdom-He alone can restore them. ||2||

14Pauree:

15The Lord alone is the One Creator; there is only the One Court of the Lord.

16The One Lord's Command is the One and Only-enshrine the One Lord in your consciousness.

17Without that Lord, there is no other at all. Remove your fear, doubt and dread.

18Praise that Lord who protects you, inside your home, and outside as well.

19When that Lord becomes merciful, and one comes to chant the Lord's Name, one swims across the ocean of fear. ||1||

20Shalok, First Mehla:

21The gifts belong to our Lord and Master; how can we compete with Him?

22Some remain awake and aware, and do not receive these gifts, while others are awakened from their sleep to be blessed. ||1||

23First Mehla:

24Faith, contentment and tolerance are the food and provisions of the angels.

25They obtain the Perfect Vision of the Lord, while those who gossip find no place of rest. ||2||

26Pauree:

27You Yourself created all; You Yourself delegate the tasks.

28You Yourself are pleased, beholding Your Own Glorious Greatness.

29O Lord, there is nothing at all beyond You. You are the True Lord.

30You Yourself are contained in all places.

31Meditate on that Lord, O Saints; He shall rescue and save you. ||2||

32Shalok, First Mehla:

33Pride in social status is empty; pride in personal glory is useless.

34The One Lord gives shade to all beings.

35You may call yourself good;

36O Nanak, this will only be known when your honor is approved in God's Account. ||1||

37Second Mehla:

38Die before the One whom you love;

39To live without Him is to live a worthless life in this world. ||2||

40Pauree:

41You Yourself created the earth, and the two lamps of the sun and the moon.

42You created the fourteen world-shops, in which Your Business is transacted.

43The Lord bestows His Profits on those who become Gurmukh.

44The Messenger of Death does not touch those who drink in the True Ambrosial Nectar.

45They themselves are saved, along with their family, and all those who follow them are saved as well. ||3||

46Shalok, First Mehla:

47He created the Creative Power of the Universe, within which He dwells.
