The Lord of the Universe is beautiful, proficient, wise and all-knowing;

O Nanak, all are bound by the attractive bonds of Maya, and the karmic record of past actions. ||1||

The discarded bride is separated from His Love, and the Lord does not even look at her.

928 : 2314
She does not see her Lord, and she dies with an aching sigh; she is defrauded and plundered by her great pride.

928 : 2315
She flails around, like a fish out of water; attached to Maya, she is alienated from the Lord.

928 : 2316
She sins, and so she is fearful of reincarnation; the Messenger of Death will surely punish her.

928 : 2317
Prays Nanak, take me under Your sheltering support, Lord, and protect me; You are the Fulfiller of desire. ||3||

928 : 2320
He is permeating and pervading my mind and body, O Nanak, with intuitive ease. ||1||

928 : 2321
My Friend has taken me by the hand; He has been my best friend, lifetime after lifetime.

928 : 2322
He has made me the slave of His feet; O Nanak, my consciousness is filled with love for God. ||2||

928 : 2323

God is all-pervading everywhere; the nine treasures of the Lord's Name fill the homes of all hearts.

928 : 2327
Meditating in remembrance on the Lord and Master, the Searcher of hearts, all one's ancestry is saved.

Is there any humble Saint, any friend, O Nanak, who can lead me to meet with God? ||1||

So beautiful, so wise, so clever and knowing; still, without the breath, it is just a body.

928 : 2340
I look here and there, in the ten directions; my mind is so thirsty to meet God!

928 : 2341
Prays Nanak, shower Your Mercy upon me; unite me with Yourself, O God, O treasure of virtue. ||5||

928 : 2342
Shalok:

928 : 2343
