Cruelty, attachment, desire and egotism - there is great hunger in these, like the raging torrent of a wild stream.

Do that work which the True Guru asks you to do.

When the True Guru is merciful, then your desires will be fulfilled.

The humble servant of the Lord loves to meditate on the Formless Lord.

Countless sinners are sanctified, attaching their minds to the Feet of the Lord.

When the True Guru is merciful, you will never grieve. When the True Guru is merciful, you will know no pain.

Day and night, true guru remains awake and aware; he never sleeps or dreams.

The first watch of the night passes away in worthless affairs, and the second passes in deep sleep. In the third, they babble nonsense, and when the fourth watch comes, the day of death has arrived. The thought of the One who bestows body and soul never enters the mind.

Continuously, day and night, they are gripped by greed and deluded by doubt. The slaves labor in slavery, carrying the loads upon their heads. That humble being who serves the Guru is put to work by the Lord in His Home.

When the True Guru is pleased and satisfied, O Nanak, the True Name is obtained.
