The weight of the Lord's Name is unweighable, according to the Guru's Teachings; nothing can equal its weight. || 7 || O God, You alone know Your Glorious Virtues. Servant Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary. You are the Ocean of water, and I am Your fish. Please be kind, and keep me always with You. || 8 || 3 || KALYAAN, FOURTH MEHL: I worship and adore the Lord, the All-pervading Lord.

The faithless cynics are called egotistical; without the Name, their lives are cursed. || 7 || As long as the breath breathes through the mind deep within, hurry and seek God's Sanctuary. Please shower Your Kind Mercy and take pity upon Nanak, that he may wash the feet of the Holy. || 8 || 4 || KALYAAN, FOURTH MEHL: O Lord, I wash the feet of the Holy. May the residues of my sinful mistakes be burnt away in an instant; O my Lord and Master, please bless me with Your Mercy. || 1 || Pause || The meek and humble beggars stand begging at Your Door. Please be generous and give to those who are yearning. Save me, save me, O God - I have come to Your Sanctuary. Please implant the Guru's Teachings, and the Naam within me. || 1 || Sexual desire and anger are very powerful in the body-village; I rise up to fight the battle against them. Please make me Your Own and save me; through the Perfect Guru, I drive them out. || 2 ||
