1O my mind, remember the Dear Lord, and abandon the corruption of your mind.

2Meditate on the Word of the Guru's Shabad; focus lovingly on the Truth. ||1||Pause||

3One who forgets the Name in this world, shall not find any place of rest anywhere else.

4He shall wander in all sorts of reincarnations, and rot away in manure. ||2||

5By great good fortune, I have found the Guru, according to my pre-ordained destiny, O my mother.

6Night and day, I practice true devotional worship; I am united with the True Lord. ||3||

7He Himself fashioned the entire universe; He Himself bestows His Glance of Grace.

8O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is glorious and great; as He pleases, He bestows His Blessings. ||4||2||

9Maaroo, Third Mehla:

10Please forgive my past mistakes, O my Dear Lord; now, please place me on the Path.

11I remain attached to the Lord's Feet, and eradicate self-conceit from within. ||1||

12O my mind, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Name of the Lord.

13Remain attached forever to the Lord's Feet, single-mindedly, with love for the One Lord. ||1||Pause||

14I have no social status or honor; I have no place or home.

15Pierced through by the Word of the Shabad, my doubts have been cut away. The Guru has inspired me to understand the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

16This mind wanders around, driven by greed, totally attached to greed.

17He is engrossed in false pursuits; he shall endure beatings in the City of Death. ||3||

18O Nanak, God Himself Himself is all-in-all. There is no other at all.

19He bestows the treasure of devotional worship, and the Gurmukhs abide in peace. ||4||3||

20Maaroo, Third Mehla:

21Seek and find those who are imbued with Truth; they are so rare in this world.

22Meeting with them, one's face becomes radiant and bright, chanting the Name of the Lord. ||1||

23O Baba, contemplate and cherish the True Lord and Master within your heart.

24Seek out and see, and ask your True Guru, and obtain the true commodity. ||1||Pause||

25All serve the One True Lord; through pre-ordained destiny, they meet Him.

26The Gurmukhs merge with Him, and will not be separated from Him again; they attain the True Lord. ||2||

27Some do not appreciate the value of devotional worship; the self-willed manmukhs are deluded by doubt.

28They are fillled with self-conceit; they cannot accomplish anything. ||3||

29Stand and offer your prayer, to the One who cannot be moved by force.

30O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides within the mind of the Gurmukh; hearing his prayer, the Lord applauds him. ||4||4||

31Maaroo, Third Mehla:

32He transforms the burning desert into a cool oasis; he transmutes rusted iron into gold.

33So praise the True Lord; there is none other as great as He is. ||1||

34O my mind, night and day, meditate on the Lord's Name.

35Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Teachings, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, night and day. ||1||Pause||

36As Gurmukh, one comes to know the One Lord, when the True Guru instructs him.

37Praise the True Guru, who imparts this understanding. ||2||

38Those who forsake the True Guru, and attach themselves to duality - what will they do when they go to the world hereafter?

39Bound and gagged in the City of Death, they will be beaten. They will be punished severely. ||3||
