-567I am a sacrifice to the True Name. Your rule shall never end. Your rule is eternal and unchanging; it shall never come to an end. He alone becomes Your servant, who contemplates You in peaceful ease. Enemies and pain shall never touch him, and sin shall never come close to him. I am forever a sacrifice to the One Lord, and Your Name. || 4 || Throughout the ages, Your devotees sing Your Praises, O Lord Master, at Your Door. They meditate on the One True Lord. They meditate on the True Lord, when they enshrine Him in their minds. Doubt and delusion are Your making; when these are dispelled, then, by Guru's Grace, You grant Your Grace, and save them from the noose of Death. Throughout the ages, they are your devotees. || 5 || O my Great Lord and Master, You are unknowable and infinite. How should I make and offer my prayer? I do not know what to say. If you bless me with Your Glance of Grace, then I realize the Truth. I come to realize the Truth, when You Yourself instruct me. The pain and hunger of the world are Your making, please eradicate this skepticism. Prays Nanak, skepticism is taken away, when one understands the Guru's wisdom. The Great Lord and Master is unknowable and infinite. 11 6 | Your eyes are beautiful, and your teeth are delightful. Your nose is graceful, and Your hair is so long. Your body is precious, cast in gold. His body is cast in gold, and He wears Krishna's mala; meditate on Him, O sisters. You shall not have to stand at Death's door, O sisters, if you listen to these teachings. From a crane, you shall be transformed into a swan, and the filth of your mind shall be removed. Your eyes are beautiful, and your teeth are delightful. || 7 || Your walk is graceful, and Your speech is sweet. You coo like a songbird, and your youthful beauty is alluring. Your youthful beauty is so alluring; it pleases You and fulfills the mind's desires. Like an elephant, You step with Your Feet so carefully; You are pleased with Yourself. She who is imbued with the Love of such a Great Lord, flows intoxicated, like the waters of the Ganges. Prays Nanak, I am Your slave, O Lord; Your walk is graceful, and Your speech is sweet. || 8 || 2 ||
WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL, CHHANT:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Be imbued with the Love of your Husband Lord, O beautiful, perishable bride. Remain immersed in the True Word of the Shabad, O perishable bride; savor and enjoy the Love of your Beloved Husband. The Husband Lord embellishes His beloved bride with His True Love; she is in love with the Lord, Har, Har. Renouncing her selfishness, she attains her Husband Lord, and remains merged in the Word of the Guru's Shabad. That soul-bride is adorned with the Shabad, who is attracted by His Love, and who treasures the Love of her Beloved deep within. O Nanak, the Husband Lord blends that soul bride with Himself; the True King embellishes her. || 1 || O worthless bride, see your Husband Lord ever-present.
