Where is That Door of Yours, and where is That Home, in which You sit and take care of all? The Sound-current of the Naad vibrates there for You, and countless musicians play all sorts of instruments there for You. There are so many Ragas and musical harmonies to You; so many minstrels sing hymns of You. Wind, water and fire sing of You. The Righteous Judge of Dharma sings at Your Door. Chitr and Gupt, the angels of the conscious and the subconscious who keep the record of actions, and the Righteous Judge of Dharma who reads this record, sing of You. Shiva, Brahma and the Goddess of Beauty, ever adorned by You, sing of You. Indra, seated on His Throne, sings of You, with the deities at Your Door. The Siddhas in Samaadhi sing of You; the Saadhus sing of You in contemplation. The celibates, the
fanatics, and the peacefully accepting sing of You; the fearless warriors sing of You. The Pandits, the religious scholars who recite the Vedas, with the supreme sages of all the ages, sing of You. The Mohinis, the enchanting heavenly beauties who entice hearts in paradise, in this world, and in the underworld of the subconscious, sing of You. The celestial jewels created by You, and the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, sing of You. The brave and mighty warriors sing of You. The spiritual heroes and the four sources of creation sing of You. The worlds, solar systems and galaxies, created and arranged by Your Hand, sing of You. They alone sing of You, who are pleasing to Your Will. Your devotees are imbued with Your Sublime Essence. So many others sing of You, they do not come to mind. O Nanak, how can I think of them all? That True Lord is True, forever True, and True is His Name. He is, and shall always be. He shall not depart, even when this Universe which He has created departs. He created the world, with its various colors, species of beings, and the variety of Maya. Having created the creation, He watches over it Himself, by His Greatness. He does whatever He pleases. No one can issue any order to Him. He is the King, the King of kings, the Supreme Lord and Master of kings. Nanak remains subject to His Will. ||1||

Aasaa, First Mehla:
sun vaddaa aakhai sabh koi || kevadd vaddaa ddee Thaa hoi || keemat pai na kahiaa jai || kahanai vaale tere rahe samai ||1||
Hearing of His Greatness, everyone calls Him Great. But just how Great His Greatness is-this is known only to those who have seen Him. His Value cannot be estimated; He cannot be described. Those who describe You, Lord, remain immersed and absorbed in You. ||1||
vadde mere saahibaa gahir ga(n)bheeraa gunee gaheeraa || koi na jaanai teraa ketaa kevadd cheeraa ||1|| rahaau || sabh suratee mil surat kamaiee || sabh keemat mil keemat paiee || giaanee dhiaanee gur gurahaiee || kahan na jaiee teree til vaddiaaiee ||2||
O my Great Lord and Master of Unfathomable Depth, You are the Ocean of Excellence. No one knows the extent or the vastness of Your Expanse. ||1||Pausell All the intuitives met and practiced intuitive meditation. All the appraisers met and made the appraisal. The spiritual teachers, the teachers of meditation, and the teachers of teachers they cannot describe even an iota of Your Greatness. ||2||
sabh sat sabh tap sabh cha(n)giaaieeaa || sidhaa purakhaa keeaa vaddiaaieeaa || tudh vin sidhee kinai na paieeaa || karam milai naahee Thaak rahaieeaa ||3||
All Truth, all austere discipline, all goodness, all the great miraculous spiritual powers of the Siddhas without You, no one has attained such powers. They are received only by Your Grace. No one can block them or stop their flow. ||3||
aakhan vaalaa kiaa vechaaraa || sifatee bhare tere bha(n)ddaaraa Il jis too dheh tisai kiaa chaaraa || naanak sach savaaranahaaraa ||4|||
2||
What can the poor helpless creatures do? Your Praises are overflowing with Your Treasures. Those, unto whom You give-how can they think of any other? O Nanak, the True One embellishes and exalts. ||4||2||

Aasaa, First Mehla:
aakhaa jeevaa visarai mar jaau || aakhan aaukhaa saachaa naau || saache naam kee laagai bhookh || aut bhookhai khai chale’eeh dhookh ||1||
Chanting it, I live; forgetting it, I die. It is so difficult to chant the True Name. If someone feels hunger for the True Name, that hunger shall consume his pain. ||1||
so kiau visarai meree mai || saachaa saahib saachai nai || 1|| rahaau || saache naam kee til vaddiaaiee || aakh thake keemat nahee paiee || je sabh mil kai aakhan paeh || vaddaa na hovai ghaaT na jai ||2|| How can I forget Him, O my mother? True is the Master, True is His Name. ||1||Pausell Trying to describe even an iota of the Greatness of the True Name, people have grown weary, but they have not been able to evaluate it. Even if everyone were to gather together and speak of Him, He would not become any greater or any lesser. ||2||
naa oh marai na hovai sog || dhedhaa rahai na chookai bhog || gun eho hor naahee koi || naa ko hoaa naa ko hoi ||3||
That Lord does not die; there is no reason to mourn. He continues to give, and His Provisions never run short. This Virtue is His alone; there is no other like Him. There never has been, and there never will be. ||3|||
jevadd aap tevadd teree dhaat || jin dhin kar kai keetee raat || khasam visaareh te kamajaat || naanak naavai baajh sanaat ||4||3||
As Great as You Yourself are, O Lord, so Great are Your Gifts. The One who created the day also created the night. Those who forget their Lord and Master are vile and despicable. O Nanak, without the Name,they are wretched outcasts. |14||3|||

Those who have not obtained the Sublime Essence of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, are most unfortunate; they are led away by the Messenger of Death. Those who have not sought the Sanctuary of the True Guru and the Sangat, the Holy Congregation-cursed are their lives, and cursed are their hopes of life. ||3||
jin har jan satigur sa(n)gat paiee tin dhur masatak likhiaa likhaas || dhan dha(n)n satasa(n)gat jit har ras paiaa mil jan naanak naam paragaas ||4||4|| Those humble servants of the Lord who have attained the Company of the True Guru, have such pre-ordained destiny inscribed on their foreheads.

O my Dear Lord of souls, one who joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is saved. By Guru’s Grace, the supreme status is obtained, and the dry wood blossoms forth again in lush greenery. ||1||Pausell Mothers, fathers, friends, children and spouses-no one is the support of anyone else. For each and every person, our Lord and Master provides sustenance. Why are you so afraid, O mind? ||2||
uoodde uoodd aavai sai kosaa tis paachhai bachare chhariaa || tin kavan khalaavai kavan chugaavai man meh simaran kariaa ||3||
The flamingoes fly hundreds of miles, leaving their young ones behind. Who feeds them, and who teaches them to feed themselves? Have you ever thought of this in your mind? ||3||

All the nine treasures, and the eighteen supernatural powers are held by our Lord and Master in the Palm of His Hand.. Servant Nanak is devoted, dedicated, forever a sacrifice to You, Lord. Your Expanse has no limit, no boundary. ||4||5|||

O God! the day when I caught hold of your feet, I do not bring anyone else under my sight None other is liked by me now the Puranas and the Quran try to know Thee by the names of Ram and Rahim and talk about you through several stories, The Simritis, Shastras and Vedas describe several mysteries of yours, but I do not agree with any of them. O sword-wielder God! This all has been described by Thy Grace, what power can I have to write all this?.863.

I am in ecstasy, O my mother, for I have found my True Guru. I have found the True Guru, with intuitive ease, and my mind vibrates with the music of bliss. The jewelled melodies and their related celestial harmonies have come to sing the Word of the Shabad. The Lord dwells within the minds of those who sing the Shabad, Says. Nanak, I am in ecstasy, for I have found my True Guru. ||1||
e man meriaa too sadhaa rahu har naale || har naal rahu too ma(n)n mere dhookh sabh visaaranaa || a(n)geekaar oh kare teraa kaaraj sabh savaaranaa || sabhanaa galaa samarath suaam so kiau manahu visaare || kahai naanak ma(n)n mere sadhaa rahu har naale ||2||
O my mind, remain always with the Lord. Remain always with the Lord, O my mind, and all sufferings will be forgotten. He will accept You as His own, and all your affairs will be perfectly arranged. Our Lord and Master is all-powerful to do all things, so why forget Him from your mind? Says Nanak, O my mind, remain always with the Lord. ||2||
saache saahibaa kiaa naahee ghar terai || ghar ta terai sabh kichh hai jis dheh su paave || sadhaa sifat salaeh teree naam man vasaave || naam jin kai man vasiaa vaaje sabadh ghanere || kahai naanak sache saahib kiaa naahee ghar terai ||3||
O my True Lord and Master, what is there which is not in Your celestial home? Everything is in Your home, they receive, unto whom You give. Constantly singing Your Praises and Glories, Your Name is enshrined in the mind. The divine melody of the Shabad vibrates for those, within whose minds the Naam abides. Says Nanak, O my True Lord and Master, what is there which is not in Your home? ||3||

The True Name is my only support. The tranquility to my mind, it has fulfilled all my desires. I am forever a sacrifice to the Guru, who possesses such glorious greatness. Says Nanak, listen, O Saints; enshrine love for the Shabad. The True Name is my only support. ||4||

The Panch Shabad, the five primal sounds, vibrate in that blessed house. In that blessed house, the Shabad vibrates; He infuses His almighty power into it. Through You, we subdue the five demons of desire, and slay Death, the torturer. Those who have such pre-ordained destiny area attached to the Lord’s Name. Says Nanak, they are at peace, and the unstruck sound current vibrates within their homes. ||5||

Listen to the song of bliss, O most fortunate Iones; all your longings shall be fulfilled. I have obtained the Supreme Lord God, and all sorrows have been forgotten. Pain, illness and suffering have departed, listening to the True Bani. The Saints and their friends are in ecstasy, knowing the Perfect Guru. Pure are the listeners, and pure are the speakers; the True Guru is all-pervading and permeating. Prays Nanak, touching the Guru’s Feet, the unstruck sound current of the celestial bugles vibrates and resounds. ||40||1||

Upon this Plate, three things have been placed: Truth, Contentment and Contemplation. The Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of our Lord and Master, has been placed upon it as well; it is the Support of all. One who eats it and enjoys it shall be saved. This thing can never be forsaken; keep this always and forever in your mind. The dark world-ocean is crossed over, by grasping the Feet of the Lord; O Nanak, it is all the extension of God. ||1||

Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

I have not appreciated what You have done for me, Lord; only You can make me worthy. I am unworthy – I have no worth or virtues at all. You have taken pity on me. You took pity on me, and blessed me with Your Mercy, and I have met the True Guru, my Friend. O Nanak, if I am blessed with the Naam, I live, and my body and mind blossom forth. ||1||
