The Great Lord is obtained by great good destiny.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh is blessed with the Naam. ||4||4||56||

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:

I sing His Glorious Praises, and through the Word of His Bani, I speak His Glorious Praises.

As Gurmukh, I chant and recite the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||

Chanting and meditating on the Naam, my mind becomes blissful.

The True Guru has implanted the True Name of the True Lord within me; I sing His Glorious Praises, and taste the supreme ecstasy. ||1||Pause||

The humble servants of the Lord sing the Lord's Glorious Praises.

By great good fortune, the detached, absolute Lord is obtained. ||2||

Those without virtue are stained by Maya's filth.

Lacking virtue, the egotistical die, and suffer reincarnation. ||3||

The ocean of the body yields pearls of virtue.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh churns this ocean, and discovers this essence. ||4||5||57||

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:

I listen to the Naam, the Name of the Lord; the Naam is pleasing to my mind.

By great good fortune, the Gurmukh obtains the Lord. ||1||

Chant the Naam, as Gurmukh, and be exalted.

Without the Naam, I have no other support; the Naam is woven into all my breaths and morsels of food. ||1||Pause||

The Naam illuminates my mind; listening to it, my mind is pleased.

One who speaks the Naam - he alone is my friend and companion. ||2||

Without the Naam, the fools depart naked.

They burn away to death, chasing the poison of Maya, like the moth chasing the flame. ||3||

He Himself establishes, and, having established, disestablishes.

O Nanak, the Lord Himself bestows the Naam. ||4||6||58||

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:

The vine of the Lord's Name, Har, Har, has taken root in the Gurmukh.

It bears the fruit of the Lord; its taste is so tasty! ||1||

Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in endless waves of joy.

Chant and repeat the Naam; through the Guru's Teachings praise the Lord, and slay the horrible serpent of the Messenger of Death. ||1||Pause||

The Lord has implanted His devotional worship in the Guru.

When the Guru is pleased, He bestows it upon His Sikh, O my siblings of Destiny. ||2||

One who acts in ego, knows nothing about the Way.

He acts like an elephant, who takes a bath, and then throws dust on his head. ||3||

If one's destiny is great and exalted,

O Nanak, one chants the Naam, the Name of the Immaculate, True Lord. ||4||7||59||

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:

My mind suffers hunger for the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Hearing the Naam, my mind is satisfied, O my Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

Chant the Naam, O my friends, O GurSikhs.

Chant the Naam, and through the Naam, obtain peace; through the Guru's Teachings, enshrine the Naam in your heart and mind. ||1||Pause||

Hearing the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind is in bliss.

Reaping the profit of the Naam, through the Guru's Teachings, my soul has blossomed forth. ||2||

Without the Naam, the mortal is a leper, blinded by emotional attachment.

All his actions are fruitless; they lead only to painful entanglements. ||3||

The very fortunate ones chant the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, one embraces love for the Naam. ||4||8||60||
