Maaroo, First Mehl:

The True Lord unites with those who are united with the Word of the Shabad.

When it pleases Him, we intuitively merge with Him.

The Light of the Transcendent Lord pervades the three worlds; there is no other at all, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

I am His servant; I serve Him.

He is unknowable and mysterious; He is pleased by the Shabad.

The Creator is the Benefactor of His devotees. He forgives them - such is His greatness. ||2||

The True Lord gives and gives; His blessings never run short.

The false ones receive, and then deny having received.

They do not understand their origins, they are not pleased with the Truth, and so they wander in duality and doubt. ||3||

The Gurmukhs remain awake and aware, day and night.

Following the Guru's Teachings, they know the Love of the True Lord.

The self-willed manmukhs remain asleep, and are plundered. The Gurmukhs remain safe and sound, O Siblings of Destiny. ||4||

The false come, and the false go;

imbued with falsehood, they practice only falsehood.

Those who are imbued with the Shabad are robed in honor in the Court of the Lord; the Gurmukhs focus their consciousness on Him. ||5||

The false are cheated, and robbed by the robbers.

The garden is laid waste, like the rough wilderness.

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, nothing tastes sweet; forgetting the Lord, they suffer in sorrow. ||6||

Receiving the food of Truth, one is satisfied.

True is the glorious greatness of the jewel of the Name.

One who understands his own self, realizes the Lord. His light merges into the Light. ||7||

Wandering from the Name, he endures beatings.

Even great cleverness does not dispel doubt.

The unconscious fool does not remain conscious of the Lord; he putrifies and rots away to death, carrying his heavy load of sin. ||8||

No one is free of conflict and strife.

Show me anyone who is, and I will praise him.

Dedicating mind and body to God, one meets the Lord, the Life of the World, and becomes just like Him. ||9||

No one knows the state and extent of God.

Whoever calls himself great, will be eaten by his greatness.

There is no lack of gifts of our True Lord and Master. He created all. ||10||

Great is the glorious greatness of the independent Lord.

He Himself created, and gives sustanance to all.

The Merciful Lord is not far away; the Great Giver spontaneously unites with Himself, by His Will. ||11||

Some are sad, and some are afflicted with disease.

Whatever God does, He does by Himself.

Through loving devotion, and the Perfect Teachings of the Guru, the unstruck sound current of the Shabad is realized. ||12||

Some wander and roam around, hungry and naked.
