ੴ

Salok: First Mehl:

O True Guru, bless me with Your charity; You are the All-powerful Giver.

May I subdue and quiet my egotism, pride, sexual desire, anger and self-conceit.

Burn away all my greed, and give me the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Day and night, keep me ever-fresh and new, spotless and pure; let me never be soiled by sin.

O Nanak, in this way I am saved; by Your Grace, I have found peace. ||1||

First Mehl:

There is only the one Husband Lord, for all who stand at His Door.

O Nanak, they ask for news of their Husband Lord, from those who are imbued with His Love. ||2||

First Mehl:

All are imbued with love for their Husband Lord; I am a discarded bride - what good am I?

My body is filled with so many faults; my Lord and Master does not even turn His thoughts to me. ||3||

First Mehl:

I am a sacrifice to those who praise the Lord with their mouths.

All the nights are for the happy soul-brides; I am a discarded bride - if only I could have even one night with Him! ||4||

Pauree:

I am a beggar at Your Door, begging for charity; O Lord, please grant me Your Mercy, and give to me.

As Gurmukh, unite me, your humble servant, with You, that I may receive Your Name.

Then, the unstruck melody of the Shabad will vibrate and resound, and my light will blend with the Light.

Within my heart, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and celebrate the Word of the Lord's Shabad.

The Lord Himself is pervading and permeating the world; so fall in love with Him! ||15||
