I trade in the merchandise and capital of the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

I have earned the profit, the wealth of devotional worship of the Lord. I have become pleasing to the Mind of the Lord, the True Banker.

I chant and meditate on the Lord, loading the merchandise of the Lord's Name. The Messenger of Death, the tax collector, does not even approach me. ||2||

Those traders who trade in other merchandise, are caught up in the endless waves of the pain of Maya.

According to the business in which the Lord has placed them, so are the rewards they obtain. ||3||

People trade in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, when the God shows His Mercy and bestows it.

Servant Nanak serves the Lord, the Banker; he shall never again be called to render his account. ||4||1||7||45||

Gauree Bairaagan, Fourth Mehl:

The mother nourishes the fetus in the womb, hoping for a son,

who will grow and earn and give her money to enjoy herself.

In just the same way, the humble servant of the Lord loves the Lord, who extends His Helping Hand to us. ||1||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 016

O my Lord, I am so foolish; save me, O my Lord God!

Your servant's praise is Your Own Glorious Greatness. ||1||Pause||

Those whose minds are pleased by the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, are joyful in the palaces of their own homes.

Their mouths savor all the sweet delicacies when they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

The Lord's humble servants are the saviors of their families; they save their families for twenty-one generations - they save the entire world! ||2||

Whatever has been done, has been done by the Lord; it is the Glorious Greatness of the Lord.

O Lord, in Your creatures, You are pervading; You inspire them to worship You.

The Lord leads us to the treasure of devotional worship; He Himself bestows it. ||3||

I am a slave, purchased in Your market; what clever tricks do I have?

If the Lord were to set me upon a throne, I would still be His slave. If I were a grass-cutter, I would still chant the Lord's Name.

Servant Nanak is the slave of the Lord; contemplate the Glorious Greatness of the Lord||4||2||8||46||

Gauree Bairaagan, Fourth Mehl:

The farmers love to work their farms;

they plow and work the fields, so that their sons and daughters may eat.

In just the same way, the Lord's humble servants chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and in the end, the Lord shall save them. ||1||

I am foolish - save me, O my Lord!

O Lord, enjoin me to work and serve the Guru, the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

The traders buy horses, planning to trade them.

They hope to earn wealth; their attachment to Maya increases.
