ਜੈਤਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥

Jaitsree, Fourth Mahalaa:

Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, and associating with the Guru,

the Gurmukh gathers in the merchandise of the Naam.

O Lord, Har, Har, Destroyer of demons, have mercy upon me; bless me with a sincere yearning to join the Sat Sangat. ||1||

Let me hear with my ears the Banis, the Hymns, in praise of the Lord;

be merciful, and let me meet the True Guru.

I sing His Glorious Praises, I speak the Bani of His Word; chanting His Glorious Praises, a sincere yearning for the Lord wells up. ||2||

I have tried visiting all the sacred shrines of pilgrimage, fasting, ceremonial feasts and giving to charities.

They do not measure up to the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

The Lord's Name is unweighable, utterly heavy in weight; through the Guru's Teachings, a sincere yearning to chant the Name has welled up in me. ||3||

All good karma and righteous living are found in meditation on the Lord's Name.

It washes away the stains of sins and mistakes.

Be merciful to meek, humble Nanak; bless him with sincere love and yearning for the Lord. ||4||5||11||
