ੴ

Wadahans, Third Mehl:

This body is frail; old age is overtaking it.

Those who are protected by the Guru are saved, while others die, to be reincarnated; they continue coming and going.

Others die, to be reincarnated; they continue coming and going, and in the end, they depart regretfully. Without the Name, there is no peace.

As one acts here, so does he obtain his rewards; the self-willed manmukh loses his honor.

In the City of Death, there is pitch darkness, and huge clouds of dust; neither sister nor brother is there.

This body is frail; old age is overtaking it. ||1||

The body becomes like gold, when the True Guru unites one with Himself.

Doubt and Maya have been removed from within me, and I am merged in the Naam, the True Name of the Lord.

Merged in the True Name of the Lord, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; meeting my Beloved, I have found peace.

I am in constant bliss, day and night; egotism has been dispelled from within me.

I fall at the feet of those who enshrine the Naam within their consciousness.

The body becomes like gold, when the True Guru unites one with Himself. ||2||

We truly praise the True Lord, when the True Guru imparts understanding.

Without the True Guru, they are deluded by doubt; going to the world hereafter, what face will they display?

What face will they show, when they go there? They will regret and repent for their sins; their actions will bring them only pain and suffering.

Those who are imbued with the Naam are dyed in the deep crimson color of the Lord's Love; they merge into the Being of their Husband Lord.

I can conceive of no other as great as the Lord; unto whom should I go and speak?

We truly praise the True Lord, when the True Guru imparts understanding. ||3||

I fall at the feet of those who praise the Truest of the True.

Those humble beings are true, and immaculately pure; meeting them, all filth is washed off.

Meeting them, all filth is washed off; bathing in the Pool of Truth, one becomes truthful, with intuitive ease.

The True Guru has given me the realization of the Naam, the Immaculate Name of the Lord, the unfathomable, the imperceptible.

Those who perform devotional worship to the Lord night and day, are imbued with His Love; O Nanak, they are absorbed in the True Lord.

I fall at the feet of those who meditate on the Truest of the True. ||4||4||
