Gauree Bairaagan, Fourth Mehl:

167 : 752
Within my conscious mind is the constant longing for the Lord. How can I behold the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, Lord?

167 : 753
One who loves the Lord knows this; the Lord is very dear to my conscious mind.

167 : 754
I am a sacrifice to my Guru, who has re-united me with my Creator Lord; I was separated from Him for such a long time! ||1||

167 : 755
O my Lord, I am a sinner; I have come to Your Sanctuary, and fallen at Your Door, Lord.

167 : 756
My intellect is worthless; I am filthy and polluted. Please shower me with Your Mercy sometime. ||1||Pause||

167 : 757
My demerits are so many and numerous. I have sinned so many times, over and over again. O Lord, they cannot be counted.

167 : 758
You, Lord, are the Merciful Treasure of Virtue. When it pleases You, Lord, You forgive me.

167 : 759
I am a sinner, saved only by the Company of the Guru. He has bestowed the Teachings of the Lord's Name, which saves me. ||2||

167 : 760
What Glorious Virtues of Yours can I describe, O my True Guru? When the Guru speaks, I am transfixed with wonder.

167 : 761
Can anyone else save a sinner like me? The True Guru has protected and saved me.

167 : 762
O Guru, You are my father. O Guru, You are my mother. O Guru, You are my relative, companion and friend. ||3||

167 : 763
My condition, O my True Guru - that condition, O Lord, is known only to You.

167 : 764
I was rolling around in the dirt, and no one cared for me at all. In the Company of the Guru, the True Guru, I, the worm, have been raised up and exalted.

167 : 765
Blessed, blessed is the Guru of servant Nanak; meeting Him, all my sorrows and troubles have come to an end. ||4||5||11||49||

Gauree Bairaagan, Fourth Mehl:

167 : 767
The soul of the man is lured by gold and women; emotional attachment to Maya is so sweet to him.

167 : 768
The mind has become attached to the pleasures of houses, palaces, horses and other enjoyments.

167 : 769
The Lord God does not even enter his thoughts; how can he be saved, O my Lord King? ||1||

167 : 770
O my Lord, these are my lowly actions, O my Lord.

167 : 771
O Lord, Har, Har, Treasure of Virtue, Merciful Lord: please bless me with Your Grace and forgive me for all my mistakes. ||1||Pause||

167 : 772
I have no beauty, no social status, no manners.

167 : 773
With what face am I to speak? I have no virtue at all; I have not chanted Your Name.

167 : 774
I am a sinner, saved only by the Company of the Guru. This is the generous blessing of the True Guru. ||2||

167 : 775
He gave all beings souls, bodies, mouths, noses and water to drink.

167 : 776
He gave them corn to eat, clothes to wear, and other pleasures to enjoy.

167 : 777
But they do not remember the One who gave them all this. The animals think that they made themselves! ||3||

167 : 778
You made them all; You are all-pervading. You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

167 : 779
What can these wretched creatures do? This whole drama is Yours, O Lord and Master.

167 : 780
Servant Nanak was purchased in the slave-market. He is the slave of the Lord's slaves. ||4||6||12||50||
