1Raamkalee, Third Mehla, Anand ~ The Song Of Bliss:

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

3I am in ecstasy, O my mother, for I have found my True Guru.

4I have found the True Guru, with intuitive ease, and my mind vibrates with the music of bliss.

5The jewelled melodies and their related celestial harmonies have come to sing the Word of the Shabad.

6The Lord dwells within the minds of those who sing the Shabad.

7Says Nanak, I am in ecstasy, for I have found my True Guru. ||1||

8O my mind, remain always with the Lord.

9Remain always with the Lord, O my mind, and all sufferings will be forgotten.

10He will accept You as His own, and all your affairs will be perfectly arranged.

11Our Lord and Master is all-powerful to do all things, so why forget Him from your mind?

12Says Nanak, O my mind, remain always with the Lord. ||2||

13O my True Lord and Master, what is there which is not in Your celestial home?

14Everything is in Your home; they receive, unto whom You give.

15Constantly singing Your Praises and Glories, Your Name is enshrined in the mind.

16The divine melody of the Shabad vibrates for those, within whose minds the Naam abides.

17Says Nanak, O my True Lord and Master, what is there which is not in Your home? ||3||

18The True Name is my only support.

19The True Name is my only support; it satisfies all hunger.

20It has brought peace and tranquility to my mind; it has fulfilled all my desires.

21I am forever a sacrifice to the Guru, who possesses such glorious greatness.

22Says Nanak, listen, O Saints; enshrine love for the Shabad.

23The True Name is my only support. ||4||

24The Panch Shabad, the five primal sounds, vibrate in that blessed house.

25In that blessed house, the Shabad vibrates; He infuses His almighty power into it.

26Through You, we subdue the five demons of desire, and slay Death, the torturer.

27Those who have such pre-ordained destiny are attached to the Lord's Name.

28Says Nanak, they are at peace, and the unstruck sound current vibrates within their homes. ||5||

29Without the true love of devotion, the body is without honor.

30The body is dishonored without devotional love; what can the poor wretches do?

31No one except You is all-powerful; please bestow Your Mercy, O Lord of all nature.

32There is no place of rest, other than the Name; attached to the Shabad, we are embellished with beauty.

33Says Nanak, without devotional love, what can the poor wretches do? ||6||

34Bliss, bliss - everyone talks of bliss; bliss is known only through the Guru.

35Eternal bliss is known only through the Guru, when the Beloved Lord grants His Grace.

36Granting His Grace, He cuts away our sins; He blesses us with the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom.

37Those who eradicate attachment from within themselves, are adorned with the Shabad, the Word of the True Lord.

38Says Nanak, this alone is bliss - bliss which is known through the Guru. ||7||
