By Guru's Grace, a rare few obtain it; upon their foreheads, the pre-ordained destiny of loving devotion is written. ||1||

O mind, chant the Name of the Lord; singing the Lord's Praises is the most exalted activity.

I am forever a sacrifice to those who sing, and hear Your Praises, O Lord and Master. ||Pause||

I seek Your Sanctuary, O Cherisher God, my Lord and Master; whatever You give me, I accept.

O Lord, Merciful to the meek, give me this blessing; Nanak longs for the Lord's meditative remembrance. ||2||4||10||

Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

All the Sikhs and servants come to worship and adore You; they sing the sublime Bani of the Lord, Har, Har.

Their singing and listening is approved by the Lord; they accept the Order of the True Guru as True, totally True. ||1||

Chant the Lord's Praises, O Siblings of Destiny; the Lord is the sacred shrine of pilgrimage in the terrifying world-ocean.

They alone are praised in the Court of the Lord, O Saints, who know and understand the Lord's sermon. ||Pause||

He Himself is the Guru, and He Himself is the disciple; the Lord God Himself plays His wondrous games.

O servant Nanak, he alone merges with the Lord, whom the Lord Himself merges; all the others are forsaken, but the Lord loves him. ||2||5||11||

Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

The Lord is the Fulfiller of desires, the Giver of total peace; the Kaamadhaynaa, the wish-fulfilling cow, is in His power.

So meditate on such a Lord, O my soul. Then, you shall obtain total peace, O my mind. ||1||

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 011

Chant, O my mind, the True Name, Sat Naam, the True Name.

In this world, and in the world beyond, your face shall be radiant, by meditating continually on the immaculate Lord God. ||Pause||

Wherever anyone remembers the Lord in meditation, disaster runs away from that place. By great good fortune, we meditate on the Lord.

The Guru has blessed servant Nanak with this understanding, that by meditating on the Lord, we cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||6||12||

Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

O my King, beholding the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, I am at peace.

You alone know my inner pain, O King; what can anyone else know? ||Pause||

O True Lord and Master, You are truly my King; whatever You do, all that is True.

Who should I call a liar? There is no other than You, O King. ||1||

You are pervading and permeating in all; O King, everyone meditates on You, day and night.

Everyone begs of You, O my King; You alone give gifts to all. ||2||

All are under Your Power, O my King; none at all are beyond You.

All beings are Yours-You belong to all, O my King. All shall merge and be absorbed in You. ||3||

You are the hope of all, O my Beloved; all meditate on You, O my King.
