Third Mehl:

1284 : 1193
The rainbird prays: O Lord, grant Your Grace, and bless me with the gift of the life of the soul.

1284 : 1194
Without the water, my thirst is not quenched, and my breath of life is ended and gone.

1284 : 1195
You are the Giver of peace, O Infinite Lord God; You are the Giver of the treasure of virtue.

1284 : 1196
O Nanak, the Gurmukh is forgiven; in the end, the Lord God shall be your only friend. ||2||

1284 : 1197
Pauree:

1284 : 1198
He created the world; He considers the merits and demerits of the mortals.

1284 : 1199
Those who are entangled in the three gunas - the three dispositions - do not love the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

1284 : 1200
Forsaking virtue, they practice evil; they shall be miserable in the Court of the Lord.

1284 : 1201
They lose their life in the gamble; why did they even come into the world?

1284 : 1202
But those who conquer and subdue their minds, through the True Word of the Shabad - night and day, they love the Naam.

1284 : 1203
Those people enshrine the True, Invisible and Infinite Lord in their hearts.

1284 : 1204
You, O Lord, are the Giver, the Treasure of virtue; I am unvirtuous and unworthy.

1284 : 1205
He alone finds You, whom You bless and forgive, and inspire to contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||13||

1284 : 1206
Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

1284 : 1207
The faithless cynics forget the Name of the Lord; the night of their lives does not pass in peace.

1284 : 1208
Their days and nights become comfortable, O Nanak, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||

1284 : 1209
Fifth Mehl:

1284 : 1210
All sorts of jewels and gems, diamonds and rubies, shine forth from their foreheads.

1284 : 1211
O Nanak, those who are pleasing to God, look beautiful in the Court of the Lord. ||2||

1284 : 1212
Pauree:

1284 : 1213
Serving the True Guru, I dwell on the True Lord.

1284 : 1214
The work you have done for the True Guru shall be very useful in the end.

1284 : 1215
The Messenger of Death cannot even touch that person who is protected by the True Lord.

1284 : 1216
Lighting the lamp of the Guru's Teachings, my awareness has been awakened.

1284 : 1217
The self-willed manmukhs are false; without the Name, they wander around like demons.

1284 : 1218
They are nothing more than beasts, wrapped up in human skin; they are black-hearted within.

1284 : 1219
The True Lord is pervading all; through the True Word of the Shabad, He is seen.

1284 : 1220
O Nanak, the Naam is the greatest treasure. The Perfect Guru has revealed it to me. ||14||

1284 : 1221
Shalok, Third Mehl:

1284 : 1222
The rainbird realizes the Hukam of the Lord's Command with intuitive ease through the Guru.

1284 : 1223
The clouds mercifully burst forth, and the rain pours down in torrents.

1284 : 1224
The cries and wailings of the rainbird have ceased, and peace has come to abide in its mind.

1284 : 1225
O Nanak, praise that Lord, who reaches out and gives sustenance to all beings and creatures. ||1||

1284 : 1226
Third Mehl:

1284 : 1227
O rainbird, you do not know what thirst is within you, or what you can drink to quench it.

1284 : 1228
You wander in the love of duality, and you do not obtain the Ambrosial Water.

1284 : 1229
When God casts His Glance of Grace, then the mortal automatically meets the True Guru.

1284 : 1230
O Nanak, the Ambrosial Water is obtained from the True Guru, and then the mortal remains merged in the Lord with intuitive ease. ||2||

1284 : 1231
Pauree:

1284 : 1232
Some go and sit in the forest realms, and do not answer any calls.

1284 : 1233
Some, in the dead of winter, break the ice and immerse themselves in freezing water.

1284 : 1234
Some rub ashes on their bodies, and never wash off their dirt.

1284 : 1235
Some look hideous, with their uncut hair matted and dishevelled. They bring dishonor to their family and ancestry.
