ੴ

Tilang, First Mehl, Third House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

This body fabric is conditioned by Maya, O beloved; this cloth is dyed in greed.

My Husband Lord is not pleased by these clothes, O Beloved; how can the soul-bride go to His bed? ||1||

I am a sacrifice, O Dear Merciful Lord; I am a sacrifice to You.

I am a sacrifice to those who take to Your Name.

Unto those who take to Your Name, I am forever a sacrifice. ||1||Pause||

If the body becomes the dyer's vat, O Beloved, and the Name is placed within it as the dye,

and if the Dyer who dyes this cloth is the Lord Master - O, such a color has never been seen before! ||2||

Those whose shawls are so dyed, O Beloved, their Husband Lord is always with them.

Bless me with the dust of those humble beings, O Dear Lord. Says Nanak, this is my prayer. ||3||

He Himself creates, and He Himself imbues us. He Himself bestows His Glance of Grace.

O Nanak, if the soul-bride becomes pleasing to her Husband Lord, He Himself enjoys her. ||4||1||3||
