1Maalee Gauraa, Fourth Mehla:

2All the Siddhas, seekers and silent sages, with their minds full of love, meditate on the Lord.

3The Supreme Lord God, my Lord and Master, is limitless; the Guru has inspired me to know the unknowable Lord. ||1||Pause||

4I am low, and I commit evil actions; I have not remembered my Sovereign Lord.

5The Lord has led me to meet the True Guru; in an instant, He liberated me from bondage. ||1||

6Such is the destiny God wrote on my forehead; following the Guru's Teachings, I enshrine love for the Lord.

7The Panch Shabad, the five primal sounds, vibrate and resound in the Court of the Lord; meeting the Lord, I sing the songs of joy. ||2||

8The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the Purifier of sinners; the unfortunate wretches do not like this.

9They rot away in the womb of reincarnation; they fall apart like salt in water. ||3||

10Please bless me with such understanding, O Inaccessible Lord God, my Lord and Master, that my mind may remain attached to the Guru's feet.

11Servant Nanak remains attached to the Name of the Lord; he is merged in the Naam. ||4||3||

12Maalee Gauraa, Fourth Mehla:

13My mind is addicted to the juice of the Lord's Name.

14My heart-lotus has blossomed forth, and I have found the Guru. Meditating on the Lord, my doubts and fears have run away. ||1||Pause||

15In the Fear of God, my heart is committed in loving devotion to Him; following the Guru's Teachings, my sleeping mind has awakened.

16All my sins have been erased, and I have found peace and tranquility; I have enshrined the Lord within my heart, by great good fortune. ||1||

17The self-willed manmukh is like the false color of the safflower, which fades away; its color lasts for only a few days.

18He perishes in an instant; he is tormented, and punished by the Righteous Judge of Dharma. ||2||

19The Lord's Love, found in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is absolutely permanent, and colorfast.

20The cloth of the body may be torn to shreds, but still, this beautiful color of the Lord's Love does not fade away. ||3||

21Meeting with the Blessed Guru, one is dyed in the color of the Lord's Love, imbued with this deep crimson color.

22Servant Nanak washes the feet of that humble being, who is attached to the feet of the Lord. ||4||4||

23Maalee Gauraa, Fourth Mehla:

24O my mind, meditate, vibrate upon the Name of the Lord, the Lord of the World, Har, Har.

25My mind and body are merged in the Lord's Name, and through the Guru's Teachings, my intellect is imbued with the Lord, the source of nectar. ||1||Pause||

26Follow the Guru's Teachings, and meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. Chant, and meditate, on the beads of the mala of the Lord.

27Those who have such destiny inscribed upon their foreheads, meet with the Lord, adorned with garlands of flowers. ||1||

28Those who meditate on the Name of the Lord - all their entanglements are ended.

29The Messenger of Death does not even approach them; the Guru, the Savior Lord, saves them. ||2||

30I am a child; I know nothing at all. The Lord cherishes me, as my mother and father.

31I continually put my hands into the fire of Maya, but the Guru saves me; He is merciful to the meek. ||3||

32I was filthy, but I have become immaculate. Singing the Lord's Praises, all sins have been burnt to ashes.

33My mind is in esctasy, having found the Guru; servant Nanak is enraptured through the Word of the Shabad. ||4||5||
