He knows all the troubles of my soul; every day, he tells me stories of the Lord.

I cannot live without Him, even for an instant. I cry out for Him, just as the song-bird cries for the drop of water.

Which of Your Glorious Virtues should I sing? You save even worthless beings like me. ||2||

I have become depressed, waiting for my Husband Lord, O my friend; when shall my eyes behold my Husband?

I have forgotten how to enjoy all pleasures; without my Husband Lord, they are of no use at all.

These clothes do not please my body; I cannot dress myself.

I bow to those friends of mine, who have enjoyed their Beloved Husband Lord. ||3||

I have adorned myself with all sorts of decorations, O my friend, but without my Husband Lord, they are of no use at all.

When my Husband does not care for me, O my friend, then my youth passes, totally useless.

Blessed, blessed are the happy soul-brides, O my friend, who are blended with their Husband Lord.

I am a sacrifice to those happy soul-brides; I wash their feet again and again. ||4||

As long as I suffered from duality and doubt, O my friend, I thought God was far away.

But when I met the Perfect True Guru, O my friend, then all my hopes and desires were fulfilled.

I have obtained all pleasures and comforts, O my friend; my Husband Lord is all-pervading everywhere.

Servant Nanak enjoys the Lord's Love, O my friend; I fall at the feet of the Guru, the True Guru. ||5||1||9||

Wadahans, Third Mehl, Ashtapadees:

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

True is the Bani of His Word, and True is the melody; True is contemplative meditation on the Word of the Shabad.

Night and day, I praise the True Lord. Blessed, blessed is my great good fortune. ||1||

O my mind, let yourself be a sacrifice to the True Name.

If you become the slave of the Lord's slaves, you shall obtain the True Name. ||1||Pause||

Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 009

True is the tongue which is imbued with Truth, and true are the mind and body.

By praising any other than the True Lord, one's whole life is wasted. ||2||

Let Truth be the farm, Truth the seed, and Truth the merchandise you trade.

Night and day, you shall earn the profit of the Lord's Name; you shall have the treasure overflowing with the wealth of devotional worship. ||3||

Let Truth be your food, and let Truth be your clothes; let your True Support be the Name of the Lord.

One who is so blessed by the Lord, obtains a seat in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||4||

In Truth we come, and in Truth we go, and then, we are not consigned to reincarnation again.

The Gurmukhs are hailed as True in the True Court; they merge in the True Lord. ||5||
