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

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

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

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

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

Section 33 - Raag Kalyaan - Part 008

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

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

Meeting 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||

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

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

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

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

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

They 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||

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

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

Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:

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

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

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

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

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

Give 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||

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

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

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