1126 : 29
Without the True Word of the Shabad, you shall never be released, and your life shall be totally useless. ||1||Pause||

1126 : 30
Within the body are sexual desire, anger, egotism and attachment. This pain is so great, and so difficult to endure.

1126 : 31
As Gurmukh, chant the Lord's Name, and savor it with your tongue; in this way, you shall cross over to the other side. ||2||

1126 : 32
Your ears are deaf, and your intellect is worthless, and still, you do not intuitively understand the Word of the Shabad.

1126 : 33
The self-willed manmukh wastes this priceless human life and loses it. Without the Guru, the blind person cannot see. ||3||

1126 : 34
Whoever remains detached and free of desire in the midst of desire - and whoever, unattached, intuitively meditates on the Celestial Lord

1126 : 35
- prays Nanak, as Gurmukh, he is released. He is lovingly attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||||2||3||

Bhairao, First Mehl:

1126 : 37
His walk becomes weak and clumsy, his feet and hands shake, and the skin of his body is withered and wrinkled.

1126 : 38
His eyes are dim, his ears are deaf, and yet, the self-willed manmukh does not know the Naam. ||1||

1126 : 39
O blind man, what have you obtained by coming into the world?

1126 : 40
The Lord is not in your heart, and you do not serve the Guru. After wasting your capital, you shall have to depart. ||1||Pause||

1126 : 41
Your tongue is not imbued with the Love of the Lord; whatever you say is tasteless and insipid.

1126 : 42
You indulge in slander of the Saints; becoming a beast, you shall never be noble. ||2||

1126 : 43
Only a few obtain the sublime essence of the Ambrosial Amrit, united in Union with the True Guru.

1126 : 44
As long as the mortal does not come to understand the mystery of the Shabad, the Word of God, he shall continue to be tormented by death. ||3||

1126 : 45
Whoever finds the door of the One True Lord, does not know any other house or door.

1126 : 46
By Guru's Grace, I have obtained the supreme status; so says poor Nanak. ||4||3||4||

Bhairao, First Mehl:

1126 : 48
He spends the entire night in sleep; the noose is tied around his neck. His day is wasted in worldly entanglements.

1126 : 49
He does not know God, who created this world, for a moment, for even an instant. ||1||

1126 : 50
O mortal, how will you escape this terrible disaster?

1126 : 51
What did you bring with you, and what will you take away? Meditate on the Lord, the Most Worthy and Generous Lord. ||1||Pause||

1126 : 52
The heart-lotus of the self-willed manmukh is upside-down; his intellect is shallow; his mind is blind, and his head is entangled in worldly affairs.

1126 : 53
Death and re-birth constantly hang over your head; without the Name, your neck shall be caught in the noose. ||2||

1126 : 54
Your steps are unsteady, and your eyes are blind; you are not aware of the Word of the Shabad, O Sibling of Destiny.

1126 : 55
The Shaastras and the Vedas keep the mortal bound to the three modes of Maya, and so he performs his deeds blindly. ||3||

1126 : 56
He loses his capital - how can he earn any profit? The evil-minded person has no spiritual wisdom at all.

1126 : 57
Contemplating the Shabad, he drinks in the sublime essence of the Lord; O Nanak, his faith is confirmed in the Truth. ||4||4||5||

1126 : 58
Bhairao, First Mehl:

1126 : 59
He remains with the Guru, day and night, and his tongue savors the savory taste of the Lord's Love.

1126 : 60
He does not know any other; he realizes the Word of the Shabad. He knows and realizes the Lord deep within his own being. ||1||

1126 : 61
Such a humble person is pleasing to my mind.

1126 : 62
He conquers his self-conceit, and is imbued with the Infinite Lord. He serves the Guru. ||1||Pause||

1126 : 63
Deep within my being, and outside as well, is the Immaculate Lord God. I bow humbly before that Primal Lord God.

1126 : 64
Deep within each and every heart, and amidst all, the Embodiment of Truth is permeating and pervading. ||2||
