ੴ

Sorat'h, Third Mehl, Dho-Thukay:

Meeting the True Guru, one turns away from the world, O Siblings of Destiny; when he remains dead while yet alive, he obtains true understanding.

He alone is the Guru, and he alone is a Sikh, O Siblings of Destiny, whose light merges in the Light. ||1||

O my mind, be lovingly attuned to the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Chanting the Name of the Lord, it seems so sweet to the mind, O Siblings of Destiny; the Gurmukhs obtain a place in the Court of the Lord. ||Pause||

Without the Guru, love for the Lord does not well up, O Siblings of Destiny; the self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in the love of duality.

Actions performed by the manmukh are like the threshing of the chaff - they obtain nothing for their efforts. ||2||

Meeting the Guru, the Naam comes to permeate the mind, O Siblings of Destiny, with true love and affection.

He always sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny, with infinite love for the Guru. ||3||

How blessed and approved is his coming into the world, O Siblings of Destiny, who focuses his mind on serving the Guru.

O Nanak, the Name of the Lord is obtained, O Siblings of Destiny, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and we merge with the Lord. ||4||8||
