²Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fourth Mehl, First House:

³Those who become the humble servants of the Lord and Master, lovingly focus their minds on Him.

⁴Those who chant Your Praises, through the Guru's Teachings, have great good fortune recorded upon their foreheads. ||1||Pause||

⁵The bonds and shackles of Maya are shattered, by lovingly focusing their minds on the Name of the Lord.

⁶My mind is enticed by the Guru, the Enticer; beholding Him, I am wonder-struck. ||1||

⁷I slept through the entire dark night of my life, but through the tiniest bit of the Guru's Grace, I have been awakened.

⁸O Beautiful Lord God, Master of servant Nanak, there is none comparable to You. ||2||1||

⁹Dayv-Gandhaaree:

¹⁰Tell me - on what path will I find my Beauteous Lord?

¹¹O Saints of the Lord, show me the Way, and I shall follow. ||1||Pause||

¹²I cherish in my heart the Words of my Beloved; this is the best way.

¹³The bride may be hunch-backed and short, but if she is loved by her Lord Master, she becomes beautiful, and she melts in the Lord's embrace. ||1||

¹⁴There is only the One Beloved - we are all soul-brides of our Husband Lord. She who is pleasing to her Husband Lord is good.

¹⁵What can poor, helpless Nanak do? As it pleases the Lord, so does he walk. ||2||2||

¹⁶Dayv-Gandhaaree:

¹⁷O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

¹⁸The Gurmukh is imbued with the deep red color of the poppy. His shawl is saturated with the Lord's Love. ||1||Pause||

¹⁹I wander around here and there, like a madman, bewildered, seeking out my Darling Lord.

²⁰I shall be the slave of the slave of whoever unites me with my Darling Beloved. ||1||

²¹So align yourself with the Almighty True Guru; drink in and savor the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord.

²²By Guru's Grace, servant Nanak has obtained the wealth of the Lord within. ||2||3||

²³Dayv-Gandhaaree:

²⁴Now, I have come, exhausted, to my Lord and Master.

²⁵Now that I have come seeking Your Sanctuary, God, please, either save me, or kill me. ||1||Pause||

¹I have burnt in the fire the clever devices and praises of the world.

²Some speak good of me, and some speak ill of me, but I have surrendered my body to You. ||1||

³Whoever comes to Your Sanctuary, O God, Lord and Master, You save by Your Merciful Grace.

⁴Servant Nanak has entered Your Sanctuary, Dear Lord; O Lord, please, protect his honor! ||2||4||

⁵Dayv-Gandhaaree:

⁶I am a sacrifice to one who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

⁷I live by continuously beholding the Blessed Vision of the Holy Guru's Darshan; within His Mind is the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

⁸You are pure and immaculate, O God, Almighty Lord and Master; how can I, the impure one, meet You?

⁹I have one thing in my mind, and another thing on my lips; I am such a poor, unfortunate liar! ||1||

¹⁰I appear to chant the Lord's Name, but within my heart, I am the most wicked of the wicked.

¹¹As it pleases You, save me, O Lord and Master; servant Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary. ||2||5||

¹²Dayv-Gandhaaree:

¹³Without the Name of the Lord, the beautiful are just like the noseless ones.

¹⁴Like the son, born into the house of a prostitute, his name is cursed. ||1||Pause||

¹⁵Those who do not have the Name of their Lord and Master within their hearts, are the most wretched, deformed lepers.

¹⁶Like the person who has no Guru, they may know many things, but they are cursed in the Court of the Lord. ||1||

¹⁷Those, unto whom my Lord Master becomes Merciful, long for the feet of the Holy.

¹⁸O Nanak, the sinners become pure, joining the Company of the Holy; following the Guru, the True Guru, they are emancipated. ||2||6|| First Set of Six||

²²As God shows His Mercy, the lotus of my heart blossoms, and forever and ever, I meditate on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

²³The One Lord is within, and the One Lord is outside; the One Lord is contained in all.

²⁴Within the heart, beyond the heart, and in all places, God, the Perfect One, is seen to be permeating. ||1||

²⁵So many of Your servants and silent sages sing Your Praises, but no one has found Your limits.

²⁶O Giver of peace, Destroyer of pain, Lord and Master - servant Nanak is forever a sacrifice to You. ||2||1||

²⁷Dayv-Gandhaaree:

²⁸O mother, whatever is to be, shall be.

²⁹God pervades His pervading creation; one gains, while another loses. ||1||Pause||

³⁰Sometimes he blossoms in bliss, while at other times, he suffers in mourning. Sometimes he laughs, and sometimes he weeps.

³¹Sometimes he is filled with the filth of ego, while at other times, he washes it off in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||

³²No one can erase the actions of God; I cannot see any other like Him.

³³Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru; by His Grace, I sleep in peace. ||2||2||

¹Dayv-Gandhaaree:

²O mother, I hear of death, and think of it, and I am filled with fear.

³Renouncing 'mine and yours' and egotism, I have sought the Sanctuary of the Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||

⁴Whatever He says, I accept that as good. I do not say "No" to what He says.

⁵Let me not forget Him, even for an instant; forgetting Him, I die. ||1||

⁶The Giver of peace, God, the Perfect Creator, endures my great ignorance.

⁷I am worthless, ugly and of low birth, O Nanak, but my Husband Lord is the embodiment of bliss. ||2||3||

¹²Wherever this body was fashioned, it was not allowed to remain there. ||1||

¹³Peace comes, and fear and doubt are dispelled, when God becomes Merciful.

¹⁴Says Nanak, my hopes have been fulfilled, renouncing my greed in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||4||

¹⁵Dayv-Gandhaaree:

¹⁶O my mind, act as it pleases God.

¹⁷Become the lowest of the low, the very least of the tiny, and speak in utmost humility. ||1||Pause||

¹⁸The many ostentatious shows of Maya are useless; I withhold my love from these.

¹⁹As something pleases my Lord and Master, in that I find my glory. ||1||

²⁰I am the slave of His slaves; becoming the dust of the feet of his slaves, I serve His humble servants.

²¹I obtain all peace and greatness, O Nanak, living to chant His Name with my mouth. ||2||5||

²²Dayv-Gandhaaree:

²³Dear God, by Your Grace, my doubts have been dispelled.

²⁴By Your Mercy, all are mine; I reflect upon this in my mind. ||1||Pause||

²⁸The ocean of mercy has cut away the bonds of Maya; O Nanak, He has saved me. ||2||6||

²⁹Dayv-Gandhaaree:

³⁰All the cleverness of my mind is gone.

³¹The Lord and Master is the Doer, the Cause of causes; Nanak holds tight to His Support. ||1||Pause||

³²Erasing my self-conceit, I have entered His Sanctuary; these are the Teachings spoken by the Holy Guru.

³³Surrendering to the Will of God, I attain peace, and the darkness of doubt is dispelled. ||1||

³⁴I know that You are all-wise, O God, my Lord and Master; I seek Your Sanctuary.

³⁵In an instant, You establish and disestablish; the value of Your Almighty Creative Power cannot be estimated. ||2||7||

³⁶Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

³⁷The Lord God is my praanaa, my breath of life; He is the Giver of peace.

³⁸By Guru's Grace, only a few know Him. ||1||Pause||

³⁹Your Saints are Your Beloveds; death does not consume them.

⁴⁰They are dyed in the deep crimson color of Your Love, and they are intoxicated with the sublime essence of the Lord's Name. ||1||

¹The greatest sins, and millions of pains and diseases are destroyed by Your Gracious Glance, O God.

²While sleeping and waking, Nanak sings the Lord's Name, Har, Har, Har; he falls at the Guru's feet. ||2||8||

³Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁴I have seen that God with my eyes everywhere.

⁵The Giver of peace, the Giver of souls, His Speech is Ambrosial Nectar. ||1||Pause||

⁶The Saints dispel the darkness of ignorance; the Guru is the Giver of the gift of life.

⁷Granting His Grace, the Lord has made me His own; I was on fire, but now I am cooled. ||1||

⁸The karma of good deeds, and the Dharma of righteous faith, have not been produced in me, in the least; nor has pure conduct welled up in me.

⁹Renouncing cleverness and self-mortification, O Nanak, I fall at the Guru's feet. ||2||9||

¹⁰Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹¹Chant the Lord's Name, and earn the profit.

¹²You shall attain salvation, peace, poise and bliss, and the noose of Death shall be cut away. ||1||Pause||

¹³Searching, searching, searching and reflecting, I have found that the Lord's Name is with the Saints.

¹⁴They alone obtain this treasure, who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||1||

¹⁵They are very fortunate and honorable; they are the perfect bankers.

¹⁶They are beautiful, so very wise and handsome; O Nanak, purchase the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||10||

¹⁷Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹⁸O mind, why are you so puffed up with egotism?

¹⁹Whatever is seen in this foul, impure and filthy world, is only ashes. ||1||Pause||

²⁰Remember the One who created you, O mortal; He is the Support of your soul, and the breath of life.

²¹One who forsakes Him, and attaches himself to another, dies to be reborn; he is such an ignorant fool! ||1||

²²I am blind, mute, crippled and totally lacking in understanding; O God, Preserver of all, please preserve me!

²³The Creator, the Cause of causes is all-powerful; O Nanak, how helpless are His beings! ||2||11||

²⁴Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁴He chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, with his tongue, and does not have to wander in reincarnation again. ||1||

⁵The Perfect Lord God pervades his mind and body; he does not look upon any other.

⁶Hell and disease do not afflict one who joins the Company of the Lord's humble servants, O Nanak; the Lord attaches him to the hem of His robe. ||2||14||

⁷Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁸His fickle mind is entangled in a dream.

⁹He does not even understand this much, that someday he shall have to depart; he has gone crazy with Maya. ||1||Pause||

¹⁰He is engrossed in the delight of the flower's color; he strives only to indulge in corruption.

¹²Wandering and roaming all around, I have endured great pain, but now, I have come to the door of the Saint.

¹³Granting His Grace, the Supreme Lord Master has blended Nanak with Himself. ||2||15||

²⁵The heat of the ocean of fire does not affect one who longs for the Lord and Master's Sanctuary. ||1||

²⁶Again and again, God puts up with the millions of sins of the supremely ungrateful ones.

²⁷The embodiment of mercy, the Perfect Transcendent Lord - Nanak longs for His Sanctuary. ||2||17||

³⁵Third Set of Six||

³⁶Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

³⁷O mother, I long to see the Feet of God.

¹Be Merciful to me, O my Lord and Master, that I might never forsake them from my mind. ||1||Pause||

²Applying the dust of the feet of the Holy to my face and forehead, I burn away the poison of sexual desire and anger.

⁶Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁹I have studied and contemplated the essence of the Shaastras, the Vedas and the Puraanas.

¹⁰Protector of the meek, Lord of the breath of life, O Perfect One, carry us across the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

¹¹Since the very beginning, and throughout the ages, the humble devotees have been Your servants; in the midst of the world of corruption, You are their Support.

¹²Nanak longs for the dust of the feet of such humble beings; the Transcendent Lord is the Giver of all. ||2||20||

¹³Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹⁴Your humble servant, O Lord, is intoxicated with Your sublime essence.

¹⁵One who obtains the treasure of the Nectar of Your Love, does not renounce it to go somewhere else. ||1||Pause||

¹⁶While sitting, he repeats the Lord's Name, Har, Har; while sleeping, he repeats the Lord's Name, Har, Har; he eats the Nectar of the Lord's Name as his food.

¹⁷Bathing in the dust of the feet of the Holy is equal to taking cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage. ||1||

¹⁸How fruitful is the birth of the Lord's humble servant; the Creator is his Father.

¹⁹O Nanak, one who recognizes the Perfect Lord God, takes all with him, and saves everyone. ||2||21||

²⁰Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

²¹O mother, without the Guru, spiritual wisdom is not obtained.

²²They wander around, weeping and crying out in various ways, but the Lord of the World does not meet them. ||1||Pause||

²³The body is tied up with emotional attachment, disease and sorrow, and so it is lured into countless reincarnations.

²⁴He finds no place of rest without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; to whom should he go and cry? ||1||

²⁵When my Lord and Master shows His Mercy, we lovingly focus our consciousness on the feet of the Holy.

²⁶The most horrible agonies are dispelled in an instant, O Nanak, and we merge in the Blessed Vision of the Lord. ||2||22||

³⁰He does not leave me, and He always keeps me company. Meeting the Guru, night and day, I sing His Praises. ||1||Pause||

³¹I met the Fascinating Lord, who has blessed me with all comforts; He does not leave me to go anywhere else.

³²I have seen the mortals of many and various types, but they are not equal to even a hair of my Beloved. ||1||

³⁶My mind longs for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, and His Name.

³⁷I have wandered everywhere, and now I have come to follow the Saint. ||1||Pause||

³⁸Whom should I serve? Whom should I worship in adoration? Whoever I see shall pass away.

¹I have sought the Sanctuary of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; my mind longs for the dust of their Feet. ||1||

²I do not know the way, and I have no virtue. It is so difficult to escape from Maya!

³Nanak has come and fallen at the Guru's feet; all of his evil inclinations have vanished. ||2||2||28||

⁴Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁵O Beloved, Your Words are Ambrosial Nectar.

⁶O supremely beautiful Enticer, O Beloved, You are among all, and yet distinct from all. ||1||Pause||

⁷I do not seek power, and I do not seek liberation. My mind is in love with Your Lotus Feet.

⁸Brahma, Shiva, the Siddhas, the silent sages and Indra - I seek only the Blessed Vision of my Lord and Master's Darshan. ||1||

⁹I have come, helpless, to Your Door, O Lord Master; I am exhausted - I seek the Sanctuary of the Saints.

¹⁰Says Nanak, I have met my Enticing Lord God; my mind is cooled and soothed - it blossoms forth in joy. ||2||3||29||

¹¹Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹²Meditating on the Lord, His servant swims across to salvation.

¹³When God becomes merciful to the meek, then one does not have to suffer reincarnation, only to die again. ||1||Pause||

¹⁴In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and he does not lose the jewel of this human life.

¹⁵Singing the Glories of God, he crosses over the ocean of poison, and saves all his generations as well. ||1||

¹⁶The Lotus Feet of the Lord abide within his heart, and with every breath and morsel of food, he chants the Lord's Name.

¹⁷Nanak has grasped the Support of the Lord of the Universe; again and again, he is a sacrifice to Him. ||2||4||30||

¹⁸Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl, Fourth House:

¹⁹One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

²⁰Some wander around the forests, wearing religious robes, but the Fascinating Lord remains distant from them. ||1||Pause||

²¹They talk, preach, and sing their lovely songs, but within their minds, the filth of their sins remains. ||1||

²²They may be very beautiful, extremely clever, wise and educated, and they may speak very sweetly. ||2||

²³To forsake pride, emotional attachment, and the sense of 'mine and yours', is the path of the double-edged sword. ||3||

²⁴Says Nanak, they alone swim across the terrifying world-ocean, who, by God's Grace, join the Society of the Saints. ||4||1||31||

²⁵Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl, Fifth House:

²⁶One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

²⁷I have seen the Lord to be on high; the Fascinating Lord is the highest of all.

²⁸No one else is equal to Him - I have made the most extensive search on this. ||1||Pause||

²⁹Utterly infinite, exceedingly great, deep and unfathomable - He is lofty, beyond reach.

³⁰His weight cannot be weighed, His value cannot be estimated. How can the Enticer of the mind be obtained? ||1||

³¹Millions search for Him, on various paths, but without the Guru, none find Him.

³²Says Nanak, the Lord Master has become Merciful. Meeting the Holy Saint, I drink in the sublime essence. ||2||1||32||

¹Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

²I have looked in so many ways, but there is no other like the Lord.

³On all the continents and islands, He is permeating and fully pervading; He is in all worlds. ||1||Pause||

⁴He is the most unfathomable of the unfathomable; who can chant His Praises? My mind lives by hearing news of Him.

⁵People in the four stages of life, and in the four social classes are liberated, by serving You, Lord. ||1||

⁶The Guru has implanted the Word of His Shabad within me; I have attained the supreme status. My sense of duality has been dispelled, and now, I am at peace.

⁷Says Nanak, I have easily crossed over the terrifying world-ocean, obtaining the treasure of the Lord's Name. ||2||2||33||

¹⁰Know that there is One and only One Lord.

¹¹O Gurmukh, know that He is One. ||1||Pause||

¹²Why are you wandering around? O Siblings of Destiny, don't wander around; He is permeating and pervading everywhere. ||1||

¹³As the fire in the forest, without control, cannot serve any purpose

¹⁴just so, without the Guru, one cannot attain the Gate of the Lord.

¹⁵Joining the Society of the Saints, renounce your ego; says Nanak, in this way, the supreme treasure is obtained. ||2||1||34||

¹⁶Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹⁷His state cannot be known. ||1||Pause||

¹⁸How can I behold Him through clever tricks? Those who tell this story are wonder-struck and amazed. ||1||

¹⁹The servants of God, the celestial singers, the Siddhas and the seekers,

²⁰the angelic and divine beings, Brahma and those like Brahma,

²¹and the four Vedas proclaim, day and night,

²²that the Lord and Master is inaccessible, unapproachable and unfathomable.

²³Endless, endless are His Glories, says Nanak; they cannot be described - they are beyond our reach. ||2||2||35||

²⁴Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

²⁵I meditate, and sing of the Creator Lord.

²⁶I have become fearless, and I have found peace, poise and bliss, remembering the infinite Lord. ||1||Pause||

²⁷The Guru, of the most fruitful image, has placed His hand upon my forehead.

²⁸Wherever I look, there, I find Him with me.

²⁹The Lotus Feet of the Lord are the Support of my very breath of life. ||1||

³⁰My God is all-powerful, unfathomable and utterly vast.

³¹The Lord and Master is close at hand - He dwells in each and every heart.

³²Nanak seeks the Sanctuary and the Support of God, who has no end or limitation. ||2||3||36||

³³Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:

³⁴Turn away, O my mind, turn away.

³⁵Turn away from the faithless cynic.

³⁶False is the love of the false one; break the ties, O my mind, and your ties shall be broken. Break your ties with the faithless cynic. ||1||Pause||

³⁷One who enters a house filled with soot is blackened.

³⁸Run far away from such people! One who meets the Guru escapes from the bondage of the three dispositions. ||1||

³⁹I beg this blessing of You, O Merciful Lord, ocean of mercy - please, don't bring me face to face with the faithless cyincs.

¹Make servant Nanak the slave of Your slave; let his head roll in the dust under the feet of the Holy. ||2||4||37||

⁶O Praiseworthy Lord, Enjoyer of celestial peace, Embodiment of mercy, One Infinite Lord, Your place is so beautiful. ||1||

¹⁰Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehl:

¹¹This mind does not follow my advice one tiny bit.

¹²I am so tired of giving it instructions - it will not refrain from its evil-mindedness. ||1||Pause||

¹³It has gone insane with the intoxication of Maya; it does not chant the Lord's Praise.

¹⁴Practicing deception, it tries to cheat the world, and so it fills its belly. ||1||

¹⁵Like a dog's tail, it cannot be straightened; it will not listen to what I tell it.

¹⁶Says Nanak, vibrate forever the Name of the Lord, and all your affairs shall be adjusted. ||2||1||

¹⁷Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehl:

¹⁸All things are mere diversions of life:

¹⁹mother, father, siblings, children, relatives and the wife of your home. ||1||Pause||

²⁰When the soul is separated from the body, then they will cry out, calling you a ghost.

²¹No one will let you stay, for even half an hour; they drive you out of the house. ||1||

²²The created world is like an illusion, a mirage - see this, and reflect upon it in your mind.

²³Says Nanak, vibrate forever the Name of the Lord, which shall deliver you. ||2||2||

²⁴Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehl:

²⁵In this world, I have seen love to be false.

²⁶Whether they are spouses or friends, all are concerned only with their own happiness. ||1||Pause||

²⁷All say, "Mine, mine", and attach their consciousness to you with love.

²⁸But at the very last moment, none shall go along with you. How strange are the ways of the world! ||1||

²⁹The foolish mind has not yet reformed itself, although I have grown weary of continually instructing it.

³⁰O Nanak, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, singing the Songs of God. ||2||3||6||38||47||
