Raag Bihaagraa, Chhant, Fourth Mehl, First House:

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

Meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, O my soul; as Gurmukh, meditate on the invaluable Name of the Lord.

My mind is pierced through by the sublime essence of the Lord's Name. The Lord is dear to my mind. With the sublime essence of the Lord's Name, my mind is washed clean.

Under Guru's Instructions, hold your mind steady; O my soul, do not let it wander anywhere.

One who utters the Bani of the Praises of the Lord God, O Nanak, obtains the fruits of his heart's desires. ||1||

Under Guru's Instruction, the Ambrosial Name abides within the mind, O my soul; with your mouth, utter the words of ambrosia.

The Words of the devotees are Ambrosial Nectar, O my soul; hearing them in the mind, embrace loving affection for the Lord.

Separated for so very long, I have found the Lord God; He holds me close in His loving embrace.

Servant Nanak's mind is filled with bliss, O my soul; the unstruck sound-current of the Shabad vibrates within. ||2||

If only my friends and companions would come and unite me with my Lord God, O my soul.

I offer my mind to the one who recites the sermon of my Lord God, O my soul.

As Gurmukh, ever worship the Lord in adoration, O my soul, and you shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires.

O Nanak, hurry to the Lord's Sanctuary; O my soul, those who meditate on the Lord's Name are very fortunate. ||3||

By His Mercy, God comes to meet us, O my soul; through the Guru's Teachings, He reveals His Name.

Without the Lord, I am so sad, O my soul - as sad as the lotus without water.

The Perfect Guru has united me, O my soul, with the Lord, my best friend, the Lord God.

Blessed, blessed is the Guru, who has shown me the Lord, O my soul; servant Nanak blossoms forth in the Name of the Lord. ||4||1||
