Through His Name, I become radiant; I am known as His slave. || 1 || Pause 11 You are Carefree, the Embodiment of Bliss. Your Name is a gem, a jewel. One who has You as her Master, is satisfied, satiated and happy forever. || 2 || O my companions and fellow maidens, please implant that balanced understanding within me. Serve the Holy Saints lovingly, and find the treasure of the Lord. || 3 | All are servants of the Lord Master, and all call Him their own. She alone dwells in peace, O Nanak, whom the Lord adorns. || 4 || 15 || 117 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: Become the servant of the Saints, and learn this way of life. Of all virtues, the most sublime virtue is to see your Husband Lord near at hand. || 1 || So, dye this mind of yours with the color of the Lord's Love.

Forget the love of duality, and chew upon this betel leaf. 11 2 11 Make the Word of the Guru's Shabad your lamp, and let your bed be Truth. Twenty-four hours a day, stand with your palms pressed together, and the Lord, your King, shall meet you. || 3 || She alone is cultured and embellished, and she alone is of incomparable beauty. She alone is the happy soul-bride, O Nanak, who is pleasing to the Creator Lord. || 4 || 16 || 118 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: As long as there are doubts in the mind, the mortal staggers and falls.
