2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3Come, O my sisters, come, O my companions, and let us remain under the Lord's control. Let's sing the Songs of Bliss of our Husband Lord.

4Renounce your pride, O my companions, renounce your egotistical pride, O my sisters, so that you may become pleasing to your Beloved.

5Renounce pride, emotional attachment, corruption and duality, and serve the One Immaculate Lord.

6Hold tight to the Sanctuary of the Feet of the Merciful Lord, your Beloved, the Destroyer of all sins.

7Be the slave of His slaves, forsake sorrow and sadness, and do not bother with other devices.

8Prays Nanak, O Lord, please bless me with Your Mercy, that I may sing Your songs of bliss. ||1||

9The Ambrosial Naam, the Name of my Beloved, is like a cane to a blind man.

10Maya seduces in so many ways, like a beautiful enticing woman.

11This enticer is so incredibly beautiful and clever; she entices with countless suggestive gestures.

12Maya is stubborn and persistent; she seems so sweet to the mind, and then he does not chant the Naam.

13At home, in the forest, on the banks of sacred rivers, fasting, worshipping, on the roads and on the shore, she is spying.

14Prays Nanak, please bless me with Your Kindness, Lord; I am blind, and Your Name is my cane. ||2||

15I am helpless and masterless; You, O my Beloved, are my Lord and Master. As it pleases You, so do You protect me.

16I have no wisdom or cleverness; what face should I put on to please You?

17I am not clever, skillful or wise; I am worthless, without any virtue at all.

18I have no beauty or pleasing smell, no beautiful eyes. As it pleases You, please preserve me, O Lord.

19His victory is celebrated by all; how can I know the state of the Lord of Mercy?

20Prays Nanak, I am the servant of Your servants; as it pleases You, please preserve me. ||3||

21I am the fish, and You are the water; without You, what can I do?

22I am the rainbird, and You are the rain-drop; when it falls into my mouth, I am satisfied.

23When it falls into my mouth, my thirst is quenched; You are the Lord of my soul, my heart, my breath of life.

24Touch me, and caress me, O Lord, You are in all; let me meet You, so that I may be emancipated.

25In my consciousness I remember You, and the darkness is dispelled, like the chakvi duck, which longs to see the dawn.

26Prays Nanak, O my Beloved, please unite me with Yourself; the fish never forgets the water. ||4||

27Blessed, blessed is my destiny; my Husband Lord has come into my home.

28The gate of my mansion is so beautiful, and all my gardens are so green and alive.

29My peace-giving Lord and Master has rejuvenated me, and blessed me with great joy, bliss and love.

30My Young Husband Lord is eternally young, and His body is forever youthful; what tongue can I use to chant His Glorious Praises?

31My bed is beautiful; gazing upon Him, I am fascinated, and all my doubts and pains are dispelled.

32Prays Nanak, my hopes are fulfilled; my Lord and Master is unlimited. ||5||1||3||
