¹Raag Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

²One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

³The Lord, the Beauteous Lord - no one has found His limits.

⁴I am a child - You cherish and sustain me. You are the Great Primal Being, my Mother and Father. ||1||Pause||

⁵The Names of the Lord are Countless and Unfathomable. My Sovereign Lord is Unfathomable and Incomprehensible.

⁶The virtuous and the spiritual teachers have given it great thought, but they have not found even an iota of His Value. ||1||

⁷They sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the Lord of the Universe forever. They sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, but they do not find His limits.

⁸You are Immeasurable, Unweighable, and Infinite, O Lord and Master; no matter how much one may meditate on You, Your Depth cannot be fathomed. ||2||

⁹Lord, Your humble servants praise You, singing Your Glorious Praises, O Sovereign Lord.

¹⁰You are the ocean of water, and I am Your fish. No one has ever found Your limits. ||3||

¹¹Please be Kind to Your humble servant, Lord; please bless me with the meditation of Your Name.

¹²I am a blind fool; Your Name is my only Support. Servant Nanak, as Gurmukh, has found it. ||4||1||

¹³Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

¹⁴The humble servant of the Lord sings the Lord's Praise, and blossoms forth.

¹⁵My intellect is embellished with devotion to the Lord, Har, Har, through the Guru's Teachings. This is the destiny which God has recorded on my forehead. ||1||Pause||

¹⁶I meditate in remembrance on the Guru's Feet, day and night. The Lord, Har, Har, Har, comes to dwell in my mind.

¹⁷The Praise of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, is Excellent and Sublime in this world. His Praise is the sandalwood paste which I rub. ||1||

¹⁸The humble servant of the Lord is lovingly attuned to the Lord, Har, Har, Har; all the faithless cynics pursue him.

¹⁹The slanderous person acts in accordance with the record of his past deeds; his foot trips over the snake, and he is stung by its bite. ||2||

²⁰O my Lord and Master, You are the Saving Grace, the Protector of Your humble servants. You protect them, age after age.

²¹What does it matter, if a demon speaks evil? By doing so, he only gets frustrated. ||3||

²²All the beings and creatures created by God are caught in the mouth of Death.

²³The humble servants of the Lord are protected by the Lord God, Har, Har, Har; servant Nanak seeks His Sanctuary. ||4||2||

²⁴Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

¹O my mind, chant and meditate on the Master of the Universe.

²Through the Guru's Teachings, meditate on the Lord's Name, and be rid of all the painful past sins. ||1||Pause||

³I have only one tongue - I cannot sing His Praises. Please bless me with many, many tongues.

⁴Again and again, each and every instant, with all of them, I would sing His Glorious Praises; but even then, I would not be able to sing all of Your Praises, God. ||1||

⁵I am so deeply in love with God, my Lord and Master; I long to see God's Vision.

⁶You are the Great Giver of all beings and creatures; only You know our inner pain. ||2||

⁷If only someone would show me the Way, the Path of God. Tell me - what could I give him?

⁸I would surrender, offer and dedicate all my body and mind to him; if only someone would unite me in God's Union! ||3||

⁹The Glorious Praises of the Lord are so many and numerous; I can describe only a tiny bit of them.

¹⁰My intellect is under Your control, God; You are the All-powerful Lord God of servant Nanak. ||4||3||

¹¹Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

¹²O my mind, chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord, which are said to be inexpressible.

¹³Rightousness and Dharmic faith, success and prosperity, pleasure, the fulfillment of desires and liberation - all follow the humble servant of the Lord like a shadow. ||1||Pause||

¹⁴That humble servant of the Lord who has such good fortune written on his forehead meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

¹⁵In that Court, where God calls for the accounts, there, you shall be saved only by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

¹⁶I am stained with the filth of the mistakes of countless lifetimes, the pain and pollution of egotism.

¹⁷Showering His Mercy, the Guru bathed me in the Water of the Lord, and all my sins and mistakes were taken away. ||2||

¹⁸God, our Lord and Master, is deep within the hearts of His humble servants. They vibrate the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

¹⁹And when that very last moment comes, then the Naam is our Best Friend and Protector. ||3||

²⁰Your humble servants sing Your Praises, O Lord, Har, Har; they chant and meditate on the Lord God, the Master of the Universe.

²¹O God, my Saving Grace, Lord and Master of servant Nanak, please save me, the sinking stone. ||4||4||

²²Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

²³Only the Lord God knows my innermost thoughts.

²⁴If someone slanders the humble servant of the Lord, God does not believe even a tiny bit of what he says. ||1||Pause||

²⁵So give up everything else, and serve the Imperishable; The Lord God, our Lord and Master, is the Highest of all.

²⁶When you serve the Lord, Death cannot even see you. It comes and falls at the feet of those who know the Lord. ||1||

²⁷Those whom my Lord and Master protects - a balanced wisdom comes to their ears.

²⁸No one can equal them; their devotional worship is accepted by my God. ||2||

²⁹So behold the Wondrous and Amazing Play of the Lord. In an instant, He distinguishes the genuine from the counterfeit.

³⁰And that is why His humble servant is in bliss. Those of pure heart meet together, while the evil ones regret and repent. ||3||

³¹Lord, You are the Great Giver, our All-powerful Lord and Master; O Lord, I beg for only one gift from You.

³²Lord, please bless servant Nanak with Your Grace, that Your Feet may abide forever within my heart. ||4||5||

¹Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

²O God, Treasure of Mercy, please bless me, that I may sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

³I always place my hopes in You; O God, when will you take me in Your Embrace? ||1||Pause||

⁴I am a foolish and ignorant child; Father, please teach me!

⁵Your child makes mistakes again and again, but still, You are pleased with him, O Father of the Universe. ||1||

⁶Whatever You give me, O my Lord and Master - that is what I receive.

⁷There is no other place where I can go. ||2||

⁸Those devotees who are pleasing to the Lord - the Lord is pleasing to them.

⁹Their light merges into the Light; the lights are merged and blended together. ||3||

¹⁰The Lord Himself has shown mercy; He lovingly attunes me to Himself.

¹¹Servant Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Door of the Lord, who protects his honor. ||4||6|| First Set of Six ||

²O, the Wondrous Glory of my Beloved!

³My mind is rejuvenated forever by His Wondrous Love. ||1||Pause||

⁴Brahma, Shiva, the Siddhas, the silent sages and Indra beg for the charity of His Praise and devotion to Him. ||1||

⁷Kalyaan, Fifth Mehl, Second House:

⁸One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

⁹Belief in You, Lord, brings honor.

¹⁰To see with my eyes, and hear with my ears - every limb and fiber of my being, and my breath of life are in bliss. ||1||Pause||

¹⁵The Glory of God is the Sound-current of the Naad, the Celestial Music of Bliss, and the Wisdom of the Vedas.

¹⁶Speaking and listening, the silent sages and humble beings join together, in the Realm of the Saints. ||1||Pause||

¹⁷Spiritual wisdom, meditation, faith and charity are there; their minds savor the Taste of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Chanting it, sins are destroyed. ||1||

¹⁸This is the technology of Yoga, spiritual wisdom, devotion, intuitive knowledge of the Shabad, certain knowledge of the Essence of Reality, chanting and unbroken intensive meditation.

¹⁹Through and through, O Nanak, merging into the Light, you shall never again suffer pain and punishment. ||2||2||5||

²⁰Kalyaan, Fifth Mehl:

²¹What should I do, and how should I do it?

²²Should I center myself in meditation, or study the spiritual wisdom of the Shaastras? How can I endure this unendurable state? ||1||Pause||

²³Vishnu, Shiva, the Siddhas, the silent sages and Indra - at whose door should I seek sanctuary? ||1||

²⁴Some have power and influence, and some are blessed with heavenly paradise, but out of millions, will anyone find liberation?

²⁵Says Nanak, I have attained the Sublime Essence of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. I touch the feet of the Holy. ||2||3||6||

²⁶Kalyaan, Fifth Mehl:

⁴Take pity on me, O Perfect Transcendent Lord; bless me with the True Eternal Insignia of the Shabad, the Word of God. ||1||Pause||

⁵O Lord, other than You, no one is all-powerful. You are the Hope and the Strength of my mind.

⁶You are the Giver to the hearts of all beings, O Lord and Master. I eat and wear whatever You give me. ||1||

⁷Intuitive understanding, wisdom and cleverness, glory and beauty, pleasure, wealth and honor,

⁸all comforts, bliss, happiness and salvation, O Nanak, come by chanting the Lord's Name. ||2||6||9||

⁹Kalyaan, Fifth Mehl:

¹⁰The Sanctuary of the Lord's Feet bring salvation.

¹¹God's Name is the Purifier of sinners. ||1||Pause||

¹²Whoever chants and meditates in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, shall undoubtedly escape being consumed by the Messenger of Death. ||1||

¹³Liberation, the key to success, and all sorts of comforts do not equal loving devotional worship of the Lord.

¹⁴Slave Nanak longs for the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan; he shall never again wander in reincarnation. ||2||||7||10||

¹⁵Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl, Ashtpadheeyaa:

¹⁶One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

¹⁷Hearing the Name of the Lord, the All-pervading Lord, my mind is drenched with joy.

¹⁸The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is Ambrosial Nectar, the most Sweet and Sublime Essence; through the Guru's Teachings, drink it in with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||

¹⁹The potential energy of fire is within the wood; it is released if you know how to rub it and generate friction.

²⁰In just the same way, the Lord's Name is the Light within all; the Essence is extracted by following the Guru's Teachings. ||1||

²¹There are nine doors, but the taste of these nine doors is bland and insipid. The Essence of Ambrosial Nectar trickles down through the Tenth Door.

²²Please take pity on me - be kind and compassionate, O my Beloved, that I may drink in the Sublime Essence of the Lord, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

²³The body-village is the most sublime and exalted village, in which the merchandise of the Lord's Sublime Essence is traded.

²⁴The most precious and priceless gems and jewels are obtained by serving the True Guru. ||3||

²⁵The True Guru is Inaccessible; Inaccessible is our Lord and Master. He is the overflowing Ocean of bliss - worship Him with loving devotion.

²⁶Please take pity on me, and be Merciful to this meek song-bird; please pour a drop of Your Name into my mouth. ||4||

²⁷O Beloved Lord, please color my mind with the Deep Crimson Color of Your Love; I have surrendered my mind to the Guru.

²⁸Those who are imbued with the Love of the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam, continually drink in this essence in big gulps, savoring its sweet taste. ||5||

²⁹If all the gold of the seven continents and the oceans was taken out and placed before them,

³⁰the humble servants of my Lord and Master would not even want it. They beg for the Lord to bless them with the Lord's Sublime Essence. ||6||

³¹The faithless cynics and mortal beings remain hungry forever; they continually cry out in hunger.

³²They hurry and run, and wander all around, caught in the love of Maya; they cover hundreds of thousands of miles in their wanderings. ||7||

³³The humble servants of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, Har, are sublime and exalted. What praise can we bestow upon them?

¹Nothing else can equal the Glory of the Lord's Name; please bless servant Nanak with Your Grace. ||8||1||

²Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

³O Lord, please bless me with the Touch of the Guru, the Philosopher's Stone.

⁴I was unworthy, utterly useless, rusty slag; meeting with the True Guru, I was transformed by the Philosopher's Stone. ||1||Pause||

⁵Everyone longs for paradise, liberation and heaven; all place their hopes in them.

⁶The humble long for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; they do not ask for liberation. Their minds are satisfied and comforted by His Darshan. ||1||

⁷Emotional attachment to Maya is very powerful; this attachment is a black stain which sticks.

⁸The humble servants of my Lord and Master are unattached and liberated. They are like ducks, whose feathers do not get wet. ||2||

⁹The fragrant sandalwood tree is encircled by snakes; how can anyone get to the sandalwood?

¹⁰Drawing out the Mighty Sword of the Guru's Spiritual Wisdom, I slaughter and kill the poisonous snakes, and drink in the Sweet Nectar. ||3||

¹¹You may gather wood and stack it in a pile, but in an instant, fire reduces it to ashes.

¹²The faithless cynic gathers the most horrendous sins, but meeting with the Holy Saint, they are placed in the fire. ||4||

¹³The Holy, Saintly devotees are sublime and exalted. They enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, deep within.

¹⁴By the touch of the Holy and the humble servants of the Lord, the Lord God is seen. ||5||

¹⁵The thread of the faithless cynic is totally knotted and tangled; how can anything be woven with it?

¹⁶This thread cannot be woven into yarn; do not associate with those faithless cynics. ||6||

¹⁷The True Guru and the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, are exalted and sublime. Joining the Congregation, meditate on the Lord.

¹⁸The gems, jewels and precious stones are deep within; by Guru's Grace, they are found. ||7||

¹⁹My Lord and Master is Glorious and Great. How can I be united in His Union?

²⁰O Nanak, the Perfect Guru unites His humble servant in His Union, and blesses him with perfection. ||8||2||

²¹Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

²²Chant the Name of the Lord, the Lord, the All-pervading Lord.

²³The Holy, the humble and Holy, are noble and sublime. Meeting with the Holy, I joyfully love the Lord. ||1||Pause||

²⁴The minds of all the beings and creatures of the world waver unsteadily.

²⁵Please take pity on them, be merciful to them, and unite them with the Holy; establish this support to support the world. ||1||

²⁶The earth is beneath us, and yet its dust falls down on all; let yourself be covered by the dust of the feet of the Holy.

²⁷You shall be utterly exalted, the most noble and sublime of all; the whole world will place itself at your feet. ||2||

²⁸The Gurmukhs are blessed with the Divine Light of the Lord; Maya comes to serve them.

²⁹Through the Word of the Guru's Teachings, they bite with teeth of wax and chew iron, drinking in the Sublime Essence of the Lord. ||3||

³⁰The Lord has shown great mercy, and bestowed His Name; I have met with the Holy Guru, the Primal Being.

³¹The Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name have spread out everywhere; the Lord bestows fame all over the world. ||4||

³²The Beloved Lord is within the minds of the Holy, the Holy Saadhus; without seeing Him, they cannot survive.

³³The fish in the water loves only the water. Without water, it bursts and dies in an instant. ||5||

¹Those who have terrible luck and bad fortune do not drink in the water which washes the dust of the feet of the Holy.

²The burning fire of their desires is not extinguished; they are beaten and punished by the Righteous Judge of Dharma. ||6||

³You may visit all the sacred shrines, observe fasts and sacred feasts, give generously in charity and waste away the body, melting it in the snow.

⁴The weight of the Lord's Name is unweighable, according to the Guru's Teachings; nothing can equal its weight. ||7||

⁵O God, You alone know Your Glorious Virtues. Servant Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary.

⁶You are the Ocean of water, and I am Your fish. Please be kind, and keep me always with You. ||8||3||

⁷Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

⁸I worship and adore the Lord, the All-pervading Lord.

⁹I surrender my mind and body, and place everything before Him; following the Guru's Teachings, spiritual wisdom is implanted within me. ||1||Pause||

¹⁰God's Name is the tree, and His Glorious Virtues are the branches. Picking and gathering up the fruit, I worship Him.

¹¹The soul is divine; divine is the soul. Worship Him with love. ||1||

¹²One of keen intellect and precise understanding is immaculate in all this world. In thoughtful consideration, he drinks in the sublime essence.

¹³By Guru's Grace, the treasure is found; dedicate this mind to the True Guru. ||2||

¹⁴Priceless and utterly sublime is the Diamond of the Lord. This Diamond pierces the diamond of the mind.

¹⁵The mind becomes the jeweller, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad; it appraises the Diamond of the Lord. ||3||

¹⁶Attaching oneself to the Society of the Saints, one is exalted and uplifted, as the palaas tree is absorbed by the peepal tree.

¹⁷That mortal being is supreme among all people, who is perfumed by the fragrance of the Lord's Name. ||4||

¹⁸One who continually acts in goodness and immaculate purity, sprouts green branches in great abundance.

¹⁹The Guru has taught me that Dharmic faith is the flower, and spiritual wisdom is the fruit; this fragrance permeates the world. ||5||

²⁰The One, the Light of the One, abides within my mind; God, the One, is seen in all.

²¹The One Lord, the Supreme Soul, is spread out everywhere; all place their heads beneath His Feet. ||6||

²²Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, people look like criminals with their noses cut off; bit by bit, their noses are cut off.

²³The faithless cynics are called egotistical; without the Name, their lives are cursed. ||7||

²⁴As long as the breath breathes through the mind deep within, hurry and seek God's Sanctuary.

²⁵Please shower Your Kind Mercy and take pity upon Nanak, that he may wash the feet of the Holy. ||8||4||

²⁶Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

²⁷O Lord, I wash the feet of the Holy.

²⁸May my sins be burnt away in an instant; O my Lord and Master, please bless me with Your Mercy. ||1||Pause||

²⁹The meek and humble beggars stand begging at Your Door. Please be generous and give to those who are yearning.

³⁰Save me, save me, O God - I have come to Your Sanctuary. Please implant the Guru's Teachings, and the Naam within me. ||1||

³¹Sexual desire and anger are very powerful in the body-village; I rise up to fight the battle against them.

³²Please make me Your Own and save me; through the Perfect Guru, I drive them out. ||2||

³³The powerful fire of corruption is raging violently within; the Word of the Guru's Shabad is the ice water which cools and soothes.

¹My mind and body are calm and tranquil; the disease has been cured, and now I sleep in peace. ||3||

²As the rays of the sun spread out everywhere, the Lord pervades each and every heart.

³Meeting the Holy Saint, one drinks in the Sublime Essence of the Lord; sitting in the home of your own inner being, drink in the essence. ||4||

⁴The humble being is in love with the Guru, like the chakvi bird which loves to see the sun.

⁵She watches, and keeps on watching all through the night; and when the sun shows its face, she drinks in the Amrit. ||5||

⁶The faithless cynic is said to be very greedy - he is a dog. He is overflowing with the filth and pollution of evil-mindedness.

⁷He talks excessively about his own interests. How can he be trusted? ||6||

⁸I have sought the Sanctuary of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; I have found the Sublime Essence of the Lord.

⁹They do good deeds for others, and speak of the Lord's many Glorious Virtues; please bless me to meet these Saints, these devotees of the Lord. ||7||

¹⁰You are the Inaccessible Lord, Kind and Compassionate, the Great Giver; please shower us with Your Mercy, and save us.

¹¹You are the Life of all the beings of the world; please cherish and sustain Nanak. ||8||5||

¹²Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

¹³O Lord, please make me the slave of Your slaves.

¹⁴As long as there is breath deep within my mind, let me drink in the dust of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

¹⁵Shiva, Naarad, the thousand-headed cobra king and the silent sages long for the dust of the Holy.

¹⁶All the worlds and realms where the Holy place their feet are sanctified. ||1||

¹⁷So let go of your shame and renounce all your egotism; join with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and remain there.

¹⁸Give up your fear of the Righteous Judge of Dharma, and you shall be lifted up and saved from drowning in the sea of poison. ||2||

¹⁹Some are standing, parched and shrivelled up by their doubts; joining the Saadh Sangat, they are rejuvenated.

²⁰So do not delay, even for an instant - go and fall at the feet of the Holy. ||3||

²¹The Kirtan of the Praise of the Lord's Name is a priceless jewel. The Lord has given it for the Holy to keep.

²²Whoever accepts and follows the Word of the Guru's Teachings as True - this Jewel is taken out and given to him. ||4||

²³Listen, O Saints; listen, humble Siblings of Destiny: the Guru raises His Arms and sends out the call.

²⁴If you long for everlasting peace and comfort for your soul, then enter the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||5||

²⁵If you have great good fortune and are very noble, then implant the Guru's Teachings and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within.

²⁶Emotional attachment to Maya is totally treacherous; drinking in the Sublime Essence of the Lord, you shall easily, intuitively cross over the world-ocean. ||6||

²⁷Those who are totally in love with Maya, Maya, shall rot away in Maya.

²⁸The path of ignorance and darkness is utterly treacherous; they are loaded down with the crushing load of egotism. ||7||

²⁹O Nanak, chanting the Name of the Lord, the All-pervading Lord, one is emancipated.

³⁰Meeting the True Guru, the Naam is implanted within; we are united and blended with the Lord's Name. ||8||6|| First Set of Six||
