First Mehl:

1246 : 1872
Those mortals whose minds are like deep dark pits do not understand the purpose of life, even when it is explained to them.

1246 : 1873
Their minds are blind, and their heart-lotuses are upside-down; they look totally ugly.

1246 : 1874
Some know how to speak, and understand what they are told. They are wise and beautiful.

1246 : 1875
Some do not understand about the Sound-current of the Naad or the Vedas, music, virtue or vice.

1246 : 1876
Some are not blessed with understanding, intelligence, or sublime intellect; they do not grasp the mystery of God's Word.

1246 : 1877
O Nanak, they are donkeys; they are very proud of themselves, but they have no virtues at all. ||2||

1246 : 1878
Pauree:

1246 : 1879
To the Gurmukh, everything is sacred: wealth, property, Maya.

1246 : 1880
Those who spend the wealth of the Lord find peace through giving.

1246 : 1881
Those who meditate on the Lord's Name shall never be deprived.

1246 : 1882
The Gurmukhs come to see the Lord, and leave behind the things of Maya.

1246 : 1883
O Nanak, the devotees do not think of anything else; they are absorbed in the Name of the Lord. ||22||

1246 : 1884
Shalok, Fourth Mehl:

1246 : 1885
Those who serve the True Guru are very fortunate.

1246 : 1886
They are lovingly attuned to the True Shabad, the Word of the One God.

1246 : 1887
In their own household and family, they are in natural Samaadhi.

1246 : 1888
O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam are truly detached from the world. ||1||

1246 : 1889
Fourth Mehl:

1246 : 1890
Calculated service is not service at all, and what is done is not approved.

1246 : 1891
The flavor of the Shabad, the Word of God, is not tasted if the mortal is not in love with the True Lord God.

1246 : 1892
The stubborn-minded person does not even like the True Guru; he comes and goes in reincarnation.

1246 : 1893
He takes one step forward, and ten steps back.

1246 : 1894
The mortal works to serve the True Guru, if he walks in harmony with the True Guru's Will.

1246 : 1895
He loses his self-conceit, and meets the True Guru; he remains intuitively absorbed in the Lord.

1246 : 1896
O Nanak, they never forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord; they are united in Union with the True Lord. ||2||

1246 : 1897
Pauree:

1246 : 1898
They call themselves emperors and rulers, but none of them will be allowed to stay.

1246 : 1899
Their sturdy forts and mansions - none of them will go along with them.

1246 : 1900
Their gold and horses, fast as the wind, are cursed, and cursed are their clever tricks.

1246 : 1901
Eating the thirty-six delicacies, they become bloated with pollution.

1246 : 1902
O Nanak, the self-willed manmukh does not know the One who gives, and so he suffers in pain. ||23||

1246 : 1903
Shalok, Third Mehl:

1246 : 1904
The Pandits, the religious scholars and the silent sages read and recite until they get tired. They wander through foreign lands in their religious robes, until they are exhausted.

1246 : 1905
In love with duality, they never receive the Name. Held in the grasp of pain, they suffer terribly.

1246 : 1906
The blind fools serve the three gunas, the three dispositions; they deal only with Maya.

1246 : 1907
With deception in their hearts, the fools read sacred texts to fill their bellies.

1246 : 1908
One who serves the True Guru finds peace; he eradicates egotism from within.

1246 : 1909
O Nanak, there is One Name to chant and dwell on; how rare are those who reflect on this and understand. ||1||

1246 : 1910
Third Mehl:

1246 : 1911
Naked we come, and naked we go. This is by the Lord's Command; what else can we do?

1246 : 1912
The object belongs to Him; He shall take it away; with whom should one be angry.

1246 : 1913
One who becomes Gurmukh accepts God's Will; he intuitively drinks in the Lord's sublime essence.

1246 : 1914
O Nanak, praise the Giver of peace forever; with your tongue, savor the Lord. ||2||
