349 : 55
No one can measure Your Worth, or describe You.

349 : 56
Those who describe You, remain absorbed in You. ||1||

349 : 57
O my Great Lord and Master of Unfathomable Depth, You are the Ocean of Excellence.

349 : 58
No one knows the greatness of Your expanse. ||1||Pause||

349 : 59
All the contemplators met together and practiced contemplation;

349 : 60
all the appraisers met together and tried to appraise You.

349 : 61
The theologians, the meditators and the teachers of teachers

349 : 62
could not express even an iota of Your Greatness. ||2||

349 : 63
All Truth, all austerities, all goodness,

349 : 64
and the greatness of the Siddhas, the beings of perfect spiritual powers

349 : 65
- without You, none has attained such spiritual powers.

349 : 66
They are obtained by Your Grace; their flow cannot be blocked. ||3||

349 : 67
What can the helpless speaker do?

349 : 68
Your bounties are overflowing with Your Praises.

349 : 69
And the one, unto whom You give - why should he think of any other?

349 : 70
O Nanak, the True Lord is the Embellisher. ||4||1||

349 : 71
Aasaa, First Mehl:

349 : 72
Chanting the Name, I live; forgetting it, I die.

349 : 73
It is so difficult to chant the True Name.

349 : 74
If someone feels hunger for the True Name,

349 : 75
then that hunger shall consume his pains. ||1||

349 : 76
So how could I ever forget Him, O my Mother?

349 : 77
True is the Master, and True is His Name. ||1||Pause||

349 : 78
People have grown weary of trying to appraise the greatness of the True Name, but they have not been able to appraise even an iota of it.

349 : 79
Even if they were all to meet together and recount them,

349 : 80
You would not be made any greater or lesser. ||2||

349 : 81
He does not die - there is no reason to mourn.

349 : 82
He continues to give, but His Provisions are never exhausted.

349 : 83
This Glorious Virtue is His alone - no one else is like Him;

Continued...

349 : 84
there has never been anyone like Him, and there never shall be. ||3||

349 : 85
As Great as You Yourself are, so Great are Your Gifts.

349 : 86
It is You who created day and night as well.

349 : 87
Those who forget their Lord and Master are vile and despicable.

349 : 88
O Nanak, without the Name, people are wretched outcasts. ||4||2||

349 : 89
Aasaa, First Mehl:

349 : 90
If a beggar cries out at the door, the Master hears it in His Mansion.

349 : 91
Whether He receives him or pushes him away, it is the Gift of the Lord's Greatness. ||1||

349 : 92
Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. ||1||Pause||

349 : 93
He Himself acts, and He Himself inspires us to act.

349 : 94
He Himself considers our complaints.

349 : 95
Since You, O Creator Lord, are the Doer,

349 : 96
why should I submit to the world? ||2||

349 : 97
You Yourself created and You Yourself give.

349 : 98
You Yourself eliminate evil-mindedness;

349 : 99
by Guru's Grace, You come to abide in our minds,

349 : 100
and then, pain and darkness are dispelled from within. ||3||

349 : 101
He Himself infuses love for the Truth.

349 : 102
Unto others, the Truth is not bestowed.

349 : 103
If He bestows it upon someone, says Nanak, then, in the world hereafter, that person is not called to account. ||4||3||

349 : 104
Aasaa, First Mehl:

349 : 105
The urges of the heart are like cymbals and ankle-bells;

349 : 106
the drum of the world resounds with the beat.

349 : 107
Naarad dances to the tune of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga;

349 : 108
where can the celibates and the men of truth place their feet? ||1||

349 : 109
Nanak is a sacrifice to the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

349 : 110
The world is blind; our Lord and Master is All-seeing. ||1||Pause||

349 : 111
The disciple feeds on the Guru;

349 : 112
out of love for bread, he comes to dwell in his home.
