607 : 433
Just as the fish dies without water, I die without the Lord's Name. ||1||

The Gurmukh obtains the water of celestial bliss, and is rejuvenated, blossoming forth through the blessed Love of the Lord. ||2||

607 : 438
The self-willed manmukhs are hungry, wandering around in the ten directions; without the Name, they suffer in pain.

607 : 439
They are born, only to die, and enter into reincarnation again; in the Court of the Lord, they are punished. ||3||

607 : 440
But if the Lord shows His Mercy, then one comes to sing His Glorious Praises; deep within the nucleus of his own self, he finds the sublime essence of the Lord's elixir.

O Dear Lord, please, take pity upon me, and unite me with the Guru, that I may merge in the Lord's Name. ||2||

607 : 449
Only one who has it knows God; he alone has it, to whom God has given it - so very beautiful, unapproachable and unfathomable. Through the Perfect Guru, the unknowable is known. ||3||

607 : 450
Only one who tastes it knows it, like the mute, who tastes the sweet candy, but cannot speak of it.
