Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

242 : 4307
He is immersed in the enjoyment of corrupt pleasures; engrossed in them, the blind fool does not understand. ||1||

242 : 4308
"I am earning profits, I am getting rich", he says, as his life passes away. ||Pause||

242 : 4309
"I am a hero, I am famous and distinguished; no one is equal to me."||2||

242 : 4310
"I am young, cultured, and born of a good family." In his mind, he is proud and arrogant like this. ||3||

242 : 4311
He is trapped by his false intellect, and he does not forget this until he dies. ||4||

242 : 4312
Brothers, friends, relatives and companions who live after him - he entrusts his wealth to them. ||5||

242 : 4313
That desire, to which the mind is attached, at the last moment, becomes manifest. ||6||

242 : 4314
He may perform religious deeds, but his mind is egotistical, and he is bound by these bonds. ||7||

242 : 4315
O Merciful Lord, please bless me Your Mercy, that Nanak may become the slave of Your slaves. ||8||3||15||44||Total||

Raag Gauree Poorbee, Chhant, First Mehl:

242 : 4318
For the bride, the night is painful; sleep does not come.

242 : 4319
The soul-bride has grown weak, in the pain of separation from her Husband Lord.

242 : 4320
The soul-bride is wasting away, in the pain of separation from her Husband; how can she see Him with her eyes?

242 : 4321
Her decorations, sweet foods, sensuous pleasures and delicacies are all false; they are of no account at all.

242 : 4322
Intoxicated with the wine of youthful pride, she has been ruined, and her breasts no longer yield milk.

242 : 4323
O Nanak, the soul-bride meets her Husband Lord, when He causes her to meet Him; without Him, sleep does not come to her. ||1||

242 : 4324
The bride is dishonored without her Beloved Husband Lord.

242 : 4325
How can she find peace, without enshrining Him in her heart?

242 : 4326
Without her Husband, her home is not worth living in; go and ask your sisters and companions.

242 : 4327
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, there is no love and affection; but with her True Lord, she abides in peace. Through mental truthfulness and contentment, union with the True Friend is attained; through the Guru's Teachings, the Husb

242 : 4328
O Nanak, that soul-bride who does not abandon the Naam, is intuitively absorbed in the Naam. ||2||

242 : 4329
Come, O my sisters and companions - let's enjoy our Husband Lord.

242 : 4330
I will ask the Guru, and write His Word as my love-note.

242 : 4331
The Guru has shown me the True Word of the Shabad. The self-willed manmukhs will regret and repent.

242 : 4332
My wandering mind became steady, when I recognized the True One.

242 : 4333
The Teachings of Truth are forever new; the love of the Shabad is forever fresh.

242 : 4334
O Nanak, through the Glance of Grace of the True Lord, celestial peace is obtained; let's meet Him, O my sisters and companions. ||3||

242 : 4335
My desire has been fulfilled - my Friend has come to my home.

242 : 4336
At the Union of husband and wife, the songs of rejoicing were sung.

242 : 4337
Singing the songs of joyful praise and love to Him, the soul-bride's mind is thrilled and delighted.

242 : 4338
My friends are happy, and my enemies are unhappy; meditating on the True Lord, the true profit is obtained.

242 : 4339
With her palms pressed together, the soul-bride prays, that she may remain immersed in the Love of her Lord, night and day.

242 : 4340
O Nanak, the Husband Lord and the soul-bride revel together; my desires are fulfilled. ||4||1||
