Salok, Third Mehl:

Reading and studying are just worldly pursuits, if there is thirst and corruption within.

Reading in egotism, all have grown weary; through the love of duality, they are ruined.

He alone is educated, and he alone is a wise Pandit, who contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

He searches within himself, and finds the true essence; he finds the Door of Salvation.

He finds the Lord, the treasure of excellence, and peacefully contemplates Him.

Blessed is the trader, O Nanak, who, as Gurmukh, takes the Name as his only Support. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Without conquering his mind, no one can be successful. See this, and concentrate on it.

The wandering holy men are tired of of making pilgrimages to sacred shrines; they have not been able to conquer their minds.

The Gurmukh has conquered his mind, and he remains lovingly absorbed in the True Lord.

O Nanak, this is how the filth of the mind is removed; the Word of the Shabad burns away the ego. ||2||

Pauree:

O Saints of the Lord, O my Siblings of Destiny, please meet with me, and implant the Name of the One Lord within me.

O humble servants of the Lord, adorn me with the decorations of the Lord, Har, Har; let me wear the robes of the Lord's forgiveness.

Such decorations are pleasing to my God; such love is dear to the Lord.

I chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, day and night; in an instant, all sins are eradicated.

That Gurmukh, unto whom the Lord becomes merciful, chants the Lord's Name, and wins the game of life. ||21||
