1015 : 1025
I have tasted many flavors, and worn many robes,

1015 : 1026
but without my Husband Lord, my youth is slipping away uselessly; I am separated from Him, and I cry out in pain. ||5||

1015 : 1027
I have heard the True Lord's message, contemplating the Guru.

1015 : 1028
True is the home of the True Lord; by His Gracious Grace, I love Him. ||6||

1015 : 1029
The spiritual teacher applies the ointment of Truth to his eyes, and sees God, the Seer.

1015 : 1030
The Gurmukh comes to know and understand; ego and pride are subdued. ||7||

1015 : 1031
O Lord, You are pleased with those who are like Yourself; there are many more like me.

1015 : 1032
O Nanak, the Husband does not separate from those who are imbued with Truth. ||8||1||9||

1015 : 1033
Maaroo, First Mehl:

1015 : 1034
Neither the sisters, nor the sisters-in-law, nor the mothers-in-law, shall remain.

1015 : 1035
The true relationship with the Lord cannot be broken; it was established by the Lord, O sister soul-brides. ||1||

1015 : 1036
I am a sacrifice to my Guru; I am forever a sacrifice to Him.

1015 : 1037
Wandering so far without the Guru, I grew weary; now, the Guru has united me in Union with my Husband Lord. ||1||Pause||

1015 : 1038
Aunts, uncles, grandparents and sisters-in-law

1015 : 1039
- they all come and go; they cannot remain. They are like boatloads of passengers embarking. ||2||

1015 : 1040
Uncles, aunts, and cousins of all sorts, cannot remain.

1015 : 1041
The caravans are full, and great crowds of them are loading up at the riverbank. ||3||

1015 : 1042
O sister-friends, my Husband Lord is dyed in the color of Truth.

1015 : 1043
She who lovingly remembers her True Husband Lord is not separated from Him again. ||4||

1015 : 1044
All the seasons are good, in which the soul-bride falls in love with the True Lord.

Continued...

1015 : 1045
That soul-bride, who knows her Husband Lord, sleeps in peace, night and day. ||5||

1015 : 1046
At the ferry, the ferryman announces, "O travellers, hurry up and cross over."

1015 : 1047
I have seen them crossing over there, on the boat of the True Guru. ||6||

1015 : 1048
Some are getting on board, and some have already set out; some are weighed down with their loads.

1015 : 1049
Those who deal in Truth, remain with their True Lord God. ||7||

1015 : 1050
I am not called good, and I see none who are bad.

1015 : 1051
O Nanak, one who conquers and subdues his ego, becomes just like the True Lord. ||8||2||10||

1015 : 1052
Maaroo, First Mehl:

1015 : 1053
I do not believe that anyone is foolish; I do not believe that anyone is clever.

1015 : 1054
Imbued forever with the Love of my Lord and Master, I chant His Name, night and day. ||1||

1015 : 1055
O Baba, I am so foolish, but I am a sacrifice to the Name.

1015 : 1056
You are the Creator, You are wise and all-seeing. Through Your Name, we are carried across. ||1||Pause||

1015 : 1057
The same person is foolish and wise; the same light within has two names.

1015 : 1058
The most foolish of the foolish are those who do not believe in the Name. ||2||

1015 : 1059
Through the Guru's Gate, the Gurdwara, the Name is obtained. Without the True Guru, it is not received.

1015 : 1060
Through the Pleasure of the True Guru's Will, the Name comes to dwell in the mind, and then, night and day, one remains lovingly absorbed in the Lord. ||3||

1015 : 1061
In power, pleasures, beauty, wealth and youth, one gambles his life away.

1015 : 1062
Bound by the Hukam of God's Command, the dice are thrown; he is just a piece in the game of chess. ||4||

1015 : 1063
The world is clever and wise, but it is deluded by doubt, and forgets the Name; the Pandit, the religious scholar, studies the scriptures, but he is still a fool.

1015 : 1064
Forgetting the Name, he dwells upon the Vedas; he writes, but he is confused by his poisonous corruption. ||5||
