One who does not forget Him, day and night, is continually rejuvenated. ||3||

God is overflowing with all powers. I have no honor-He is my resting place.

I have grasped the Support of the Lord within my mind; I live by chanting and meditating on His Name.

Grant Your Grace, God, and bless me, that I may merge into the dust of the feet of the humble.

As You keep me, so do I live. I wear and eat whatever You give me.

May I make the effort, O God, to sing Your Glorious Praises in the Company of the Holy.

I can conceive of no other place; where could I go to lodge a complaint?

You are the Dispeller of ignorance, the Destroyer of darkness, O Lofty, Unfathomable and Unapproachable Lord.

Please unite this separated one with Yourself; this is Nanak's yearning.

That day shall bring every joy, O Lord, when I take to the Feet of the Guru. ||4||1||

Vaar In Maajh, And Shaloks Of The First Mehl: To Be Sung To The Tune Of "Malik Mureed And Chandrahraa Sohee-Aa"

One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. By Guru's Grace:

Shalok, First Mehl:

The Guru is the Giver; the Guru is the House of ice. The Guru is the Light of the three worlds.

O Nanak, He is everlasting wealth. Place your mind's faith in Him, and you shall find peace. ||1||

First Mehl:

First, the baby loves mother's milk;

second, he learns of his mother and father;

third, his brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters;

fourth, the love of play awakens.

Fifth, he runs after food and drink;

sixth, in his sexual desire, he does not respect social customs.

Seventh, he gathers wealth and dwells in his house;

eighth, he becomes angry, and his body is consumed.

Ninth, he turns grey, and his breathing becomes labored;

tenth, he is cremated, and turns to ashes.

His companions send him off, crying out and lamenting.

The swan of the soul takes flight, and asks which way to go.

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 045

He came and he went, and now, even his name has died.

After he left, food was offered on leaves, and the birds were called to come and eat.

O Nanak, the self-willed manmukhs love the darkness.

Without the Guru, the world is drowning. ||2||

First Mehl:

At the age of ten, he is a child; at twenty, a youth, and at thirty, he is called handsome.

At forty, he is full of life; at fifty, his foot slips, and at sixty, old age is upon him.

At seventy, he loses his intellect, and at eighty, he cannot perform his duties.

At ninety, he lies in his bed, and he cannot understand his weakness.

After seeking and searching for such a long time, O Nanak, I have seen that the world is just a mansion of smoke. ||3||
