1The minds of the Gurmukhs are filled with faith; through the Perfect Guru, they merge in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

2O my mind, the sermon of the Lord, Har, Har, is pleasing to my mind.

3Continually and forever, speak the sermon of the Lord, Har, Har; as Gurmukh, speak the Unspoken Speech. ||1||Pause||

4I have searched through and through my mind and body; how can I attain this Unspoken Speech?

7The Guru, the Primal Being, has united me with the Primal Lord God. My consciousness has merged into the supreme consciousness.

8By great good fortune, I serve the Guru, and I have found my Lord, all-wise and all-knowing.

9The self-willed manmukhs are very unfortunate; they pass their life-night in misery and pain. ||3||

10I am just a meek beggar at Your Door, God; please, place the Ambrosial Word of Your Bani in my mouth.

11The True Guru is my friend; He unites me with my all-wise, all-knowing Lord God.

12Servant Nanak has entered Your Sanctuary; grant Your Grace, and merge me into Your Name. ||4||3||5||

13Maaroo, Fourth Mehla:

14Detached from the world, I am in love with the Lord; by great good fortune, I have enshrined the Lord within my mind.

22The self-willed manmukhs are filled with hunger and thirst; their minds run around in the ten directions, hoping for great wealth.

23Without the Name of the Lord, their life is cursed; the manmukhs are stuck in manure.

24They come and go, and are consigned to wander through uncounted incarnations, eating stinking rot. ||3||

25Begging, imploring, I seek Your Sanctuary; Lord, shower me with Your Mercy, and save me, God.

26Lead me to join the Society of the Saints, and bless me with the honor and glory of the Lord's Name.

27I have obtained the wealth of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; servant Nanak chants the Lord's Name, through the Guru's Teachings. ||4||4||6||

29One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

30Devotional worship to the Lord, Har, Har, is an overflowing treasure.

31The Gurmukh is emancipated by the Lord.

32One who is blessed by the Mercy of my Lord and Master sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||

33O Lord, Har, Har, take pity on me,

34that within my heart, I may dwell upon You, Lord, forever and ever.

35Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, O my soul; chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, you shall be emancipated. ||1||Pause||
