Aasaa, First Mehl:

416 : 3263
When the body perishes, whose wealth is it?

416 : 3264
Without the Guru, how can the Lord's Name be obtained?

416 : 3265
The wealth of the Lord's Name is my Companion and Helper.

416 : 3266
Night and day, center your loving attention on the Immaculate Lord. ||1||

416 : 3267
Without the Lord's Name, who is ours?

416 : 3268
I look upon pleasure and pain alike; I shall not forsake the Naam, the Name of the Lord. The Lord Himself forgives me, and blends me with Himself. ||1||Pause||

O Lord, he alone chants the Naam, whom You have forgiven.

Death cannot touch one who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

416 : 3273
The Lord, the Guru, is the Giver; the Lord, the Sustainer of the World.

As Gurmukh, my mind is pleased with the Lord.

416 : 3276
My diseases are cured, and my pains are taken away. ||3||

416 : 3277
There is no other medicine, Tantric charm or mantra.

416 : 3278
Meditative remembrance upon the Lord, Har, Har, destroys sins.

416 : 3279
You Yourself cause us to stray from the path, and forget the Naam.

416 : 3280
Showering Your Mercy, You Yourself save us. ||4||

416 : 3281
The mind is diseased with doubt, superstition and duality.

416 : 3282
Without the Guru, it dwells in doubt, and contemplates duality.

416 : 3283
The Guru reveals the Darshan, the Blessed Vision of the Primal Lord.

416 : 3284
Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, what use is human life? ||5||

416 : 3285
Beholding the Marvellous Lord, I am wonder-struck and astonished.

416 : 3286
In each and every heart, of the angels and holy men, He dwells in celestial Samaadhi.

416 : 3287
I have enshrined the All-pervading Lord within my mind.

416 : 3288
There is no one else equal to You. ||6||
