All worldly considerations are for the present only. True peace comes only from Your Name.

Meeting the Guru, Nanak understands; He sings only Your Praises forever, O Lord. ||4||4||

Tilang, Fifth Mehl:

Think of the Lord in your mind, O wise one.

Enshrine love for the True Lord in your mind and body; He is the Liberator from bondage. ||1||Pause||

The value of seeing the Vision of the Lord Master cannot be estimated.

You are the Pure Cherisher; You Yourself are the great and immeasurable Lord and Master. ||1||

Give me Your help, O brave and generous Lord; You are the One, You are the Only Lord.

O Creator Lord, by Your creative potency, You created the world; Nanak holds tight to Your support. ||2||5||

Tilang, First Mehl, Second House:

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

The One who created the world watches over it; what more can we say, O Siblings of Destiny?

Section 18 - Raag Tilang - Part 005

He Himself knows, and He Himself acts; He laid out the garden of the world. ||1||

Savor the story, the story of the Beloved Lord, which brings a lasting peace. ||Pause||

She who does not enjoy the Love of her Husband Lord, shall come to regret and repent in the end.

She wrings her hands, and bangs her head, when the night of her life has passed away. ||2||

Nothing comes from repentance, when the game is already finished.

She shall have the opportunity to enjoy her Beloved, only when her turn comes again. ||3||

The happy soul-bride attains her Husband Lord - she is so much better than I am.

I have none of her merits or virtues; whom should I blame? ||4||

I shall go and ask those sisters who have enjoyed their Husband Lord.

I touch their feet, and ask them to show me the Path. ||5||

She who understands the Hukam of His Command, O Nanak, applies the Fear of God as her sandalwood oil;

she charms her Beloved with her virtue, and so obtains Him. ||6||

She who meets her Beloved in her heart, remains united with Him; this is truly called union.

As much as she may long for Him, she shall not meet Him through mere words. ||7||

As metal melts into metal again, so does love melt into love.

By Guru's Grace, this understanding is obtained, and then, one obtains the Fearless Lord. ||8||

There may be an orchard of betel nut trees in the garden, but the donkey does not appreciate its value.

If someone savors a fragrance, then he can truly appreciate its flower. ||9||

One who drinks in the ambrosia, O Nanak, abandons his doubts and wanderings.

Easily and intuitively, he remains blended with the Lord, and obtains the immortal status. ||10||1||

Tilang, Fourth Mehl:

The Guru, my friend, has told me the stories and the sermon of the Lord.

I am a sacrifice to my Guru; to the Guru, I am a sacrifice. ||1||
