-1263I have met with the Lord, the Lord of the World. || 1 || Pause || One who forgets such a Name of the Lord, Har, Har - his family is dishonored. His family is sterile and barren, and his mother is made a widow. || 2 || O Lord, let me meet the Holy Guru, who night and day keep the Lord enshrined in his heart. Seeing the Guru, the GurSikh blossoms forth, like the child seeing his mother. || 3 || The soul-bride and the Husband Lord live together as one, but the hard wall of egotism has come between them. The Perfect Guru demolishes the wall of egotism; servant Nanak has met the Lord, the Lord of the World. || 4 11 1 || MALAAR, FOURTH MEHL: The Ganges, the Jamunaa, the Godaavari and the Saraswati — these rivers strive for the dust of the feet of the Holy. Overflowing with the filthy residues of their sins, the mortals take cleansing baths in them; the rivers' pollution is washed away by the dust of the feet of the Holy. || 1 || Instead of bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, take your cleansing bath in the Name. When the dust of the feet of the Sat Sangat rises up into the eyes, all filthy evil-mindedness is removed. || 1 || Pause || Bhaageerat'h the penitent brought the Ganges down, and Shiva established Kaydaar. Krishna grazed cows in Kaashi; through the humble servant of the Lord, these places became famous. Il 2 || And all the sacred shrines of pilgrimage established by the gods, long for the dust of the feet of the Holy. Meeting with the Lord's Saint, the Holy Guru, I apply the dust of His feet to my face. || 3 || And all the creatures of Your Universe, O my Lord and Master, long for the dust of the feet of the Holy. O Nanak, one who has such destiny inscribed on his forehead, is blessed with the dust of the feet of the Holy; the Lord carries him across. || 4 || 2 || MALAAR, FOURTH MEHL: The Lord seems sweet to that humble being who is blessed by the Grace of the Lord. His hunger and pain are totally taken away; he chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. || 1 || Meditating on the Lord, Har, Har, Har, the mortal is emancipated. One who listens to the Guru's Teachings and meditates on them, is carried across the terrifying world-ocean. || 1 || Pause Il I am the slave of that humble being, who is blessed by the Grace of the Lord, Har, Har. Meeting with the Lord's humble servant, peace is obtained; all the pollution and filth of evil-mindedness is washed away. || 2 || The humble servant of the Lord feels hunger only for the Lord. He is satisfied only when he chants the Lord's Glories. The humble servant of the Lord is a fish in the Water of the Lord. Forgetting the Lord, he would dry up and die. || 3 || He alone knows this love, who enshrines it within his mind. Servant Nanak gazes upon the Lord and is at peace; The hunger of his body is totally satisfied. || 4 || 3 || MALAAR, FOURTH MEHL: All the beings and creatures which God has created – on their foreheds, He has written their destiny. The Lord blesses His humble servant with glorious greatness. The Lord enjoins him to his tasks. ||1|| The True Guru implants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, within.
