Bewitcher, Thou hast bewitched my heart; I have obtained understanding by pondering on Thy Word.

I am the handmaiden of my Lord.

On clasping the feet of God, the life of the world, I have destroyed and parted with pride.

I was perverse and low, but my evil understanding which hath caused me pain of mind and body hath left me.

Since I began to love the joyous God, my mind hath been consoled by repeating His name.

Having forgotten pride, I have abandoned the world, and true wisdom hath entered my heart.

Since I have become reconciled with Him who is without enmity or stain, I have lost all regard for men's opinion.

O my Beloved, Support of my soul, there has been none like Thee in the past, and there shall be none like Thee in the future.

Nānak, she who is dyed with Thy name is a happy wife; Thy name is my refuge.

By Guru Amar Dās

(The Guru points out that salvation can be found in the home with the help of the true Guru.)

I wandered through the whole world calling out for my Beloved, yet my thirst departed not;

But on meeting the true Guru, O Nānak, my thirst departed, and I found my beloved in my own home on my return.

By Guru Rām Dās

Nānak, the pious are adorned by the Word, and night and day sing God's praises.

God acteth Himself and causeth to act; He adorneth men by His word.

He Himself is the True Guru; He is the Word; in every age His saints are dear to Him.

In every age His saints are dear to Him; He Himself adorneth them; He Himself appointeth them to His service.

He Himself is far-seeing. He Himself causeth men to serve Him.

He Himself is the Bestower of merits and the remover of demerits; He causeth His name to dwell in men's hearts.

Nānak is ever a sacrifice unto that True One who Himself acteth and causeth to act.

By Guru Arjan 1

He Himself instructeth, and He Himself understandeth;

He Himself is blended with everything;

He made His own expansion;

Everything is His, He is the Creator.

Say can anything be effected without Him?

The One God is in every place;

He Himself acteth His own parts;

He exhibiteth plays of endless parts;

He is in the soul, and the soul is in Him;

Nānak, His worth cannot be described.

True, true, true is the Lord God;

By the Guru's favour some rare person describeth Him.

True, true, true is He who created all.

Among millions some rare one knoweth Thee, O God;

Excellent, excellent, excellent is Thy form,

Very beautiful, unbounded, and incomparable.

Pure, pure, pure is Thy word;

Every one heareth it with his ears, and repeateth it.

Holy, holy, holy, holy

Is Thy name; Nānak uttereth it with heartfelt Love.

Prayer by Guru Arjan

O Lord, King of men, Friend of the poor, Purifier of sinners,
