The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 99

Nunak does not forget (thy) name, 0 Hari, bestow (on me) thy own mercy!

(1). My body and property, my kingdom and beauty, my country,

(My) many sons and wives, many amusements and clothes:

Are, if the name of Hari do not dwell in (my) heart, of no use nor account.

0 my heart, meditate on the name of Hari, Hari!

Eeeping always company with the holy ones direct thy mind to the feet of the Guru!

(2). The treasure of the name is meditated upon (by him), upon (whose) forehead the lot may be (written).

AH the works (of him) are adjusted, (who) clings to the feet of the Gui-u.

The sickness of egotism (and his) error is cut off, he does not come nor will he go (again into other wombs).

(3). Keep thou company with the holy ones (and thus) bathe at the sixty-eight Tirthas!*

Life, soul, body become fresh (thereby), this is true relish.

Here (in this world) greatnesses will accrue to thee and at the threshold thou wilt obtain a place.

(4). The Lord himself does and causes to be done (everything), all is in his hand.

He himself having killed vivifies, within and without he is with (every one).

Nanak has taken refuge with the Lord, who is the Lord of all bodies.

(1). I have fallen' on the asylum of my Lord, the Guru has been merciful.

By the instruction of the Guru all my troubles have become extinct.

My heart has clung to the name of Ram, by the sight of the nectar I am happy.

Pause. 0 my heart, the service of the true Guru is the best. If the Lord bestow his own mercy (on me), I do not forget him one moment from my heart.

■y^, s.m. the party taken over in one boat's trip.

(2). The qualities of Govind should continually be sung, who is the extinguisher of vices.

Without the name of Hari comfort is not obtained, I have seen a great many things.'

Those who were given to his praises, have easily crossed the water of existence.

(3). (It is equal to) a Tirtha, fasting, lakhs of abstinences, if the dust of the holy ones be obtained.

From whom will (one) hide himself, as he (=Hari) always sees in the presence?

In every place my Lord is contained brimful.

(4). True is (his) kingdom, true his order, true is the place of the True one.
