Pauree:

ਟਹਲ ਕਰਹੁ ਤਉ ਏਕ ਕੀ ਜਾ ਤੇ ਬ੍ਰਿਥਾ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
ttahal karahu tau ek kee jaa te brithaa na koe |

Work for the One Lord; no one returns empty-handed from Him.

ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਮੁਖਿ ਹੀਐ ਬਸੈ ਜੋ ਚਾਹਹੁ ਸੋ ਹੋਇ ॥
man tan mukh heeai basai jo chaahahu so hoe |

When the Lord abides within your mind, body, mouth and heart, then whatever you desire shall come to pass.

ਟਹਲ ਮਹਲ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਮਿਲੈ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਸਾਧ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ॥
ttahal mahal taa kau milai jaa kau saadh kripaal |

He alone obtains the Lord's service, and the Mansion of His Presence, unto whom the Holy Saint is compassionate.

ਸਾਧੂ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਤਉ ਬਸੈ ਜਉ ਆਪਨ ਹੋਹਿ ਦਇਆਲ ॥
saadhoo sangat tau basai jau aapan hohi deaal |

He joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, only when the Lord Himself shows His Mercy.

ਟੋਹੇ ਟਾਹੇ ਬਹੁ ਭਵਨ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥
ttohe ttaahe bahu bhavan bin naavai sukh naeh |

I have searched and searched, across so many worlds, but without the Name, there is no peace.

ਟਲਹਿ ਜਾਮ ਕੇ ਦੂਤ ਤਿਹ ਜੁ ਸਾਧੂ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਮਾਹਿ ॥
ttaleh jaam ke doot tih ju saadhoo sang samaeh |

The Messenger of Death retreats from those who dwell in the Saadh Sangat.

ਬਾਰਿ ਬਾਰਿ ਜਾਉ ਸੰਤ ਸਦਕੇ ॥
baar baar jaau sant sadake |

Again and again, I am forever devoted to the Saints.

ਨਾਨਕ ਪਾਪ ਬਿਨਾਸੇ ਕਦਿ ਕੇ ॥੨੭॥
naanak paap binaase kad ke |27|

O Nanak, my sins from so long ago have been erased. ||27||

Raag Gauree

Gauri creates a mood where the listener is encouraged to strive harder in order to achieve an objective. However, the encouragement given by the Raag does not allow the ego to increase. This therefore creates the atmosphere where the listener is encouraged, but still prevented from becoming arrogant and self-important.
