Lacking the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mortal suffers and dies.

He is burnt in the fire of desire, and his hunger does not depart.

Without good destiny, he cannot find the Naam.

He performs all sorts of rituals until he is exhausted. ||3||

The mortal thinks about the Vedic teachings of the three gunas, the three dispositions.

He deals in corruption, filth and vice.

He dies, only to be reborn; he is ruined over and over again.

The Gurmukh enshrines the glory of the supreme state of celestial peace. ||4||

One who has faith in the Guru - everyone has faith in him.

Through the Guru's Word, the mind is cooled and soothed.

Throughout the four ages, that humble being is known to be pure.

O Nanak, that Gurmukh is so rare. ||5||4||13||9||13||22||

Raag Malaar, Fourth Mehl, First House, Chau-Padas:

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

Night and day, I meditate on the Lord, Har, Har, within my heart; through the Guru's Teachings, my pain is forgotten.

The chains of all my hopes and desires have been snapped; my Lord God has showered me with His Mercy. ||1||

My eyes gaze eternally on the Lord, Har, Har.

Gazing on the True Guru, my mind blossoms forth. I have met with the Lord, the Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||

Section 31 - Raag Malaar - Part 010

One who forgets such a Name of the Lord, Har, Har - his family is dishonored.

His family is sterile and barren, and his mother is made a widow. ||2||

O Lord, let me meet the Holy Guru, who night and day keep the Lord enshrined in his heart.

Seeing the Guru, the GurSikh blossoms forth, like the child seeing his mother. ||3||

The soul-bride and the Husband Lord live together as one, but the hard wall of egotism has come between them.

The Perfect Guru demolishes the wall of egotism; servant Nanak has met the Lord, the Lord of the World. ||4||1||

Malaar, Fourth Mehl:

The Ganges, the Jamunaa, the Godaavari and the Saraswati - these rivers strive for the dust of the feet of the Holy.

Overflowing with their filthy sins, the mortals take cleansing baths in them; the rivers' pollution is washed away by the dust of the feet of the Holy. ||1||

Instead of bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, take your cleansing bath in the Name.

When the dust of the feet of the Sat Sangat rises up into the eyes, all filthy evil-mindedness is removed. ||1||Pause||

Bhaageerat'h the penitent brought the Ganges down, and Shiva established Kaydaar.

Krishna grazed cows in Kaashi; through the humble servant of the Lord, these places became famous. ||2||

And all the sacred shrines of pilgrimage established by the gods, long for the dust of the feet of the Holy.
