Shalok,Fourth Mehl: Without serving the True Guru,the deeds which are done are only chains binding the soul. Without serving the True Guru, they find no place of rest. They die, only to be born again-they continue coming and going. Without serving the True Guru, their speech is insipid. They do not enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in the mind. O Nanak, without serving the True Guru, they are bound and gagged, and beaten in the City of Death; they depart with blackened faces. ||1||Third Mehl: Some wait upon and serve the True Guru; they embrace love for the Lord's Name.O Nanak, they reform their lives, and redeem their generations as well. ||2||Pauree: He Himself is the school, He Himself is the teacher, and He Himself brings the students to be taught. He Himself is the father, He Himself is the mother, and He Himself makes the children wise.In one place, He teaches them to read and understand everything, while in another place, He Himself makes them ignorant. Some,You summon to the Mansion of Your Presence within, when they are pleasing to Your Mind, O True Lord.That Gurmukh, whom You have blessed with greatness-that humble being is known in Your True Court. ||11|| Audio and translation used from Sikhnet.com Text translation by Sukha Singh, UK.

Bihaagraa, Fourth Mehl: I am a sacrifice, O my soul, to those who take the Support of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. The Guru,the True Guru,implanted the Name within me,O my soul,and He has carried me across the terrifying world-ocean of poison. Those who have meditated one-pointedly on the Lord,Omysoul-I proclaim the Victory of those saintly beings. Nanak has found peace,meditating on the Lord, O my soul; the Lord is the Destroyer of all pain. ||1||Blessed,blessed is that tongue,O my soul,which sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord God. Sublime and splendid are those ears,O my soul,which listen to the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. Sublime,pure and pious is that head,O my soul,which falls at the Guru's Feet. Nanak is a sacrifice to that Guru,O my soul;the Guru has placed the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in my mind. ||2||Blessed and approved are those eyes,O my soul,which gaze upon the Holy True Guru. Sacred and sanctified are those hands,O my soul,which write the Praises of the Lord,Har,Har.I worship continually the feet of that humble being,O my soul,who walks on the Path of Dharma-the path of righteousness.Nanak is a sacrifice to those,O my soul,who hear of the Lord,and believe in the Lord's Name. ||3||The earth,the nether regions of the underworld ,and the Akaashic ethers,O my soul,all meditate on the Name of the Lord,Har,Har. Wind,water and fire,O my soul, continually sing the Praises of the Lord,Har,Har,Har. The woods, the meadows and the whole world, O my soul, chant with their mouths the Lord's Name,and meditate on the Lord. O Nanak,one who,as Gurmukh,focuses his consciousness on the Lord's devotional worship-O my soul,he is robed in honor in the Court of the Lord.
