From the True Guru, the pure teachings are obtained.

Unto His humble servant, God has shown His kindness.

He has made His servant eternally happy.

The bonds of His humble servant are cut away, and he is liberated.

The pains of birth and death, and doubt are gone.

Desires are satisfied, and faith is fully rewarded,

imbued forever with His all-pervading peace.

He is His - he merges in Union with Him.

Nanak is absorbed in devotional worship of the Naam. ||3||

Why forget Him, who does not overlook our efforts?

Why forget Him, who acknowledges what we do?

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 140

Why forget Him, who has given us everything?

Why forget Him, who is the Life of the living beings?

Why forget Him, who preserves us in the fire of the womb?

By Guru's Grace, rare is the one who realizes this.

Why forget Him, who lifts us up out of corruption?

Those separated from Him for countless lifetimes, are re-united with Him once again.

Through the Perfect Guru, this essential reality is understood.

O Nanak, God's humble servants meditate on Him. ||4||

O friends, O Saints, make this your work.

Renounce everything else, and chant the Name of the Lord.

Meditate, meditate, meditate in remembrance of Him, and find peace.

Chant the Naam yourself, and inspire others to chant it.

By loving devotional worship, you shall cross over the world-ocean.

Without devotional meditation, the body will be just ashes.

All joys and comforts are in the treasure of the Naam.

Even the drowning can reach the place of rest and safety.

All sorrows shall vanish.

O Nanak, chant the Naam, the treasure of excellence. ||5||

Love and affection, and the taste of yearning, have welled up within;

within my mind and body, this is my purpose:

beholding with my eyes His Blessed Vision, I am at peace.

My mind blossoms forth in ecstasy, washing the feet of the Holy.

The minds and bodies of His devotees are infused with His Love.

Rare is the one who obtains their company.

Show Your mercy - please, grant me this one request:

by Guru's Grace, may I chant the Naam.

His Praises cannot be spoken;

O Nanak, He is contained among all. ||6||

God, the Forgiving Lord, is kind to the poor.

He loves His devotees, and He is always merciful to them.

The Patron of the patronless, the Lord of the Universe, the Sustainer of the world,

the Nourisher of all beings.

The Primal Being, the Creator of the Creation.

The Support of the breath of life of His devotees.

Whoever meditates on Him is sanctified,

focusing the mind in loving devotional worship.

I am unworthy, lowly and ignorant.

Nanak has entered Your Sanctuary, O Supreme Lord God. ||7||
